It's Pixel Day!!!!

I actually made something!!!!

Pixel Swamp Sunset by SevenSeizeHasCookies on Newgrounds

This is the first time I've ever submitted pixel art. It's not something I work with and was an entirely new experience.

I'd never made an animated gif before either.

I used my old Wacom tablet from 2007 and my mouse and clearly I need a lot more practice but I'm proud of myself for trying something new.

I was inspired by several people here who can make elaborate pixel art in like 35 seconds with their eyes closed. Here are some of my favorites and I becha they'll have cool stuff out today:

@maruki Everything she makes is amazing, you won't be able to choose a favorite

@luis can throw together pixel masterpieces in his sleep but his piece last year was one of my favorites, out of all of his work

Never Give Up by Luis on Newgrounds

@moertel Her art is like if you took all of your dreams from the last 2 years and crammed them into a gif, It's gorgeous

@AnasAbdin His art, you just stare at and can't stop staring at it. You can see the hard work in every single pixel

I am already scrolling through the art portal and snatching up more new artists to stalk. We have such an incredible amount of talent in this community!

Happy Pixel Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
