Miscats + suggest pixel art

Journal Entry: Thu Dec 9, 2010, 2:02 PM
As a new pixel art GM, I have seen more pixel art than last few years put together. So last few days I have seen many new deviations added to deviantART pixel art gallery and I have tried to comment as many good ones as I can. (if I haven't commented yours, then it doesn't mean that it isn't good.) Unfortunately browsing through pixel art gallery I have seen many deviations that aren't pixel art. For example stamps, vector, etc. I'm quite sure that I'm not the only GM with this problem and its sad. I also know that its quite hard to fix it atm, so if you see some miscats and you have a extra 30 seconds, then please just report about it. :)

Anyway, talking about good pixel art. If you see something that you like and you think others would like it aswell, then please send me a note with a link to your suggested deviation. I'm always glad to see awesome pixel art and I might feature it in my news articles or even as DD.

If you have any other ideas about pixel art, then let me know.


Btw, its so snowy out there. :la:

The amount of miscategorized images on here is one of the main reason why I migrated over to PixelJoint. I guess that's the disadvantage of not having a group of people accepting and declining submissions.

Gallery Info: Vexel
Vexel is a) A full raster piece taking after the look of vector (Layers) , b) raster layers along with vector layers (For example, a solid raster base with vector gradients), and c) A vector piece (excluding gmesh) with raster elements (Textures, patterns, dropshadows, outerglows)

I was hoping for something other than a definition I can look up from the gallery. The difference of vector and vexel look too similar.

hmm, well vexel is vector + pixel. Pixel means rasterized, like pixel art. vexel uses pixelling or rastering. So you create a certain resolution only and when you try to increase the resolution or magnify you see it pixellated or loss of clarity. Vector on the other hand, is loss less media. So you can start it small and increase it as much as you want without decreasing the resolution. So, if you use pen tool and brush over it, use textures, add more images say, it is a vexel. but in vectors you can't "paint" in it.
dA's vector and vexel GMs ^ChewedKandi and ^jussta might be more able to clear this up! :)
