The history of pixel art shows that limitation can inspire creativity.
"From turning clouds into bushes via a palette swap to bypassing color limitations by stacking sprites."

Highway to Heck
Made using overcompression, pixel sorting, and palette bending (a method of re-indexing colors). Follow for more like this. 😉

RGBI Macaw
Experimenting with the idea of creating an image with the RGBI colorcsheme. RGBI stands for Red, Green, Blue, Intensity. It's basically the colorscheme used by the text-mode console on Linux - with the six primary colors plus black and white, and with bright and dark versions of each of those colors.

Ice Rain
Glitch art style I created that I call "edgecore" - a combination of overcompression and pixel sorting effects.

Happy Pac-Man Day! This pixel art was originally created for the Miami New Times "Best of the City" issue. Each category was introduced with 8-bit art based on a classic video game. This was for "Finest Foods" and it felt only appropriate to use the original "if you can't beat em, eat em" video game character, Pac-Man.

Paintjet
This is a manipulation I made using diagonal pixels and palette bending - a glitch art method I came up with that involves re-indexing an image with a palette that's incompatible with the original colorscheme for a trippy effect. I called it "Paintjet" because that's the name of the palette I used.

Pixel Art as Metaphor: Graduation as Leveling Up
Most video games are built around progression. One of the most common mechanics is earning experience points to advance to the next level. “Level up” has become such a widely understood phrase that it translates easily across industries, as seen in this graduation-themed gift card for Target.

Video games introduced visual concepts that didn't exist before gaming.
Pixel art illustration can translate those conventions into clever metaphors.
