All submissions must be video game entities, environments, or gameplay mock-ups.
Flash games containing at least 80% pixel art are also accepted.
Each individual pixel should have been worked over by your hand.
This means no filters, anti-aliased brushes, gradient fills, blend mode overlays, automated colour indexing, Frankenstein pixels, compression artefacts, etc.
Submissions must not exceed 64 palette colours. Gameplay mock-ups must not exceed 256 palette colours. Submissions approaching these limits will be scrutinised for purity.
All submissions should be complete. If you need critique, visit the forums at Pixel Joint or Pixelation.

Team requests and job offers are not welcome here. Comments containing such will be hidden.
If you're looking for a pixel artist, we recommend you post your job offer on Pixelation or Pixel Joint.
I'll be doing a quick gallery sweep for the group. Some pieces were accidentally approved that went over 6000 colors and other things that make them not count as pixel art. There are also some pieces that are in the wrong folder or not upto par with the quality we're trying to set.
Thank you for understanding and I apologize in advance to those who are offended.
My name is Juurian Chi and I'm a composer of many different styles of music. I'm now offering free use of any of my music, provided that credit is given (I need to pay my Rent soon as well, so I'm hoping that a little exposure will help to sell a few albums or attract a few donations). My music is freshly written and entirely original, so if you're looking for stock music that has not previously been used elsewhere, or wish to use tracks of differing moods but still retain a certain stylistic cohesiveness, all of my music is available under a Creative Commons license. [link] I'm always creating more music, so you can follow me on Twitter @JuurianChi and on facebook: [link] If you are looking for custom work, you can contact me at: juurian@gmail.com ~Thank You
