Detailed Description
Pixel art is a form of digital art, created through the use of software, where images are edited on the pixel level. The term pixel art was first used by graphic designers in the late 1970s. Pixel art is often associated with 8-bit and 16-bit graphics, as seen in video games from the 1980s and 1990s. However, pixel art can be created with any color depth and any palette. Pixel art is a very precise art form, where each pixel is placed deliberately. This results in images that are often blocky and pixilated. Pixel art is used in a variety of genres, including platformers, RPGs, and strategy games. Some well-known examples of pixel art include the Super Mario series, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, and Final Fantasy VI. Famous pixel artists include eboy, who is known for his detailed and intricate cityscapes, and Cory Arcangel, who often uses found images and video game sprites in his work.
