This represents a bit of practice with transparency-based (as opposed to colour-based) antialiasing.  Since GIF only has one-bit transparency, I had to use PNG.  Although PNG is a format I like better, it is not nearly so well-supported by aging browsers as GIF.  If there are display problems, try saving the file and viewing it separately.

I think this piece indicates that I'm becoming comfortable enough with pixel art that my consistent style (see my dA page) is starting to show through.  Vector anyone?

Comments and critique are more than welcome!

I can't see the image to comment on it specifically, but I don't see why alpha should be considered NPA it it is hand selected.
There's a difference between using blending to create an image and creating an image to use blending.
If alpha is considered NPA, then index transparency should be also, because in either case the pusher doesn't select the colours that appear in the transparent area when the image is viewed.

You make a very good and valid point. I will discuss with the Mod/Admin squad. Normally we don't allow transparent pixels and its the norm, or has been. Perhaps your pixel teaches us something that as shown by you is acceptable. Pixeljoint is a community driven site and we learn from each other.
If I don't reply soon or your pixel is not added please PM me to remind me.

I fail to see your meaning.  This must be pixel art, since I placed every pixel in the image.  How do a few extra bits in the alpha channel make any difference as to whether it's genuine pixel art?

Your first statement is patently untrue.  The partial transparency in this image was created by my own hand; every pixel in this image was lovingly and carefully placed by me without the aid of any filters, brushes, or shortcuts.  Why else would I have bothered to post it to such a dedicated pixel art community?

PNG's partial transparencies are not pixelart, since the AA in the image is made by the PNG system, and not by your own hand and effort, wich is basically the big deal in pixelart. the display problems, also, are caused by the browser. IE6 doesn't support PNG transparencies, either partial or not. Firefox does, and so IE7.
