@Jalonso. Lazy? Me? For sure. If you cosider how much time this AA takes you wouldn't dare caling me lazy, sweeties. Otherwise, if you feel like doing an image using a 30-40 color palette - GO for it! Why teling me to? I feel different. And as long as you put RULES into this gallery, please feel free to respect them too, huh? Because I have seen no statement saying: "we don't want art with 40colors+" I saw 256 is fine.

 @leel, I se, but what is wrong about piel art lookin like CG if it IS pixel art? I found it pretty challenging! And not that easy btw. It's just another technique, like dithering, or bubble-shading or cell-shading or whatso-ever. It's different. And though it's not what pixel art was supposed to be made for you CAN do it with pixel art, and that's the fun of it, and it doesn't cotradict he seence of pixel art as long as you kep it reasonable. Which I'd humbly reckon, I although do.

I think what you misunderstand is if your pixel art looks kind of like your CG does, it's not a matter of people accepting or complaining about it - while I personally like it - it just doesn't belong in this gallery..

Not going to complain because you are resisting the most basic elements that makes a piece of art,  pixelart. Excessive use of colors when they are required to achieve a goal is sloppy, lazy and leaves the realm of pixelart. It is only when you control your pixels at the pixel level that a demoscene-ish, hybrid pixelart can really be called pixelart.
This can be equally made using 32 to 40 colors at most. Not a complaint a truth.

Amazing O_o......
