I love pixel art, I’m just starting out myself, trying to learn the basics. This is a very nice piece, very detailed, lots of action going on - the very epitome of isometric pixelart. I’d like to know if there’s anyway I could get hold of one of the original posters? I’d love to have this to put up on my wall. View all comments by chainsoar

Before coming to your website, I’ve no idea what on earth is pixelart as to me the drawing during the Navy open house brochure is just a normal photo to me.

I’ve kept the Navy pixelart in my flickr album.

There’s a brochure by the Army Open House, is this a pixelart ?

Thanks. View all comments by xtemujin

Naime: No problem! Didn’t know it ever came out in the papers.

mee: I think pixel art is most commonly used in mobile phone games. But there is one desktop game I enjoy very much that also uses pixel art — Lemonade Tycoon!

Kev: Thanks! Wow, all the way from down under. Word sure travels fast!

py: Thank you so much! I know you voted. Thanks!

Hai~Ren: Hehe!

Jacelyn: Thanks! You are right-on about drawing pixel by pixel. It takes a huge amount of patience and a talented eye and mind too.

Walter: From what Ari said, his team of three completed this piece in 3 weeks! View all comments by Veron

Great post about the possibilities of pixel art in marketing and advertising. This reminds me of the “Where’s Wally” series with drawings that possess such levels of detail in their rendering. I wonder how long it takes to do something like this though? View all comments by Walter

Cool! I did notice it before but didn’t really pay attention.

When I saw the first pic, the first thing that came to my mind was “So… where’s Wally?” :D View all comments by Hai~Ren

Hey Veron,

Nice piece of interview going on around there. Great Job!

I’m truly fascinated by the intricate details of each objects, and also the amount of effort the artists devote their time to make their masterpieces.

I’ve seen this similar artform first over at Habbo Hotel - an online game, and it’s cute! It’s like going on an exploration in Legoland!

With that, this inspires me to compose a Haiku,

Pixels by Pixels,
Creating amazing things,
That’s PixelArt, y’all …
