Pixel Art Tutorial Series is currently the most popular thing on my page. The idea behind this is to take suggestions from the community and try to make a tutorial out of these things, helping out fellow deviants along the way. You can also find my pixel art tutorials in groups like #TutorialsForYou, #TutorialsClub and #PixelCommunity. Here is a list of tutorials in my Pixel Art Tutorial Series, tutorials which are underlined and bold are already ready tutorials that you can read, other tutorials without the underline are tutorials that will be posted in deviantART in near future. You can also suggest new pixel art tutorial series by commenting on my profile page, on these tutorials or by sending me a note. Enjoy!
IDK what software your using, but I've never seen a BMP do that unless it was indexed and switched to a different pallet. Also GIF works just fine if you stay within a 256 pallet. For true color however I agree, PNG is probably best for file/color/lossless.
I want to post my pixel art onto deviantart, (so people can actually USE them, unlike .jpg or .jpeg) but it says I can't and it is saying something is wrong with my category, all I did was Digital Art>Pixel Art> Any of these> and then one or the other (Isometric or Non-Isometric) and it still won't let me post the pixel art, I have the pixel art at it's original size as when I first made it, (I also put the Color Palette on for some people) I have the border set so that it is 1 pixel away from the edge (where I cannot "paint") and I don't know whats wrong! I also don't know how to save it to a different file type.... I'm hopeless....
