As soon as you use Auto-AA tools and brushes, it no longer becomes Pixelart. As far as I can see, that's the category this work falls into. Distasteful pixelart, at that. You're in the wrong, pal. Take a gander over on to www.pixeldev.net and look in their pixel art forum. There's a standard for quality there, and you can see some of the most amazing pixel artists there. Look at the reference Goboom posted as well.

Even though pixellign is pixelling, theres still different styles involved in pixelling. e.g. Pillow Shading is a style of shading, just as my pixelling style is small and sort of good, whereas your style super leet, deep and awesome. Eitherway keeping into mind most of these graphics are specifically for graal, and this is a gfx forum, for either "your style OR THE GRAAL STYLE", i still find it to be sort of offensive that after she spent so long making and posting all those graphics all she gets is a spit in the face and a kick in the stomach saying they suck.

Pillowshading is a poor example of a style. It's frowned upon in the Pixel Art community, as it shows ones lack of knowledge when it comes to light source preception. I never said they sucked, there are artists of less quality than him. Don't put words in my mouth. I can like, or dislike any type of art as I so choose. Like I've already said, style and quality or two different things.

Look at what Goboom posted. Pixel Art is a specific type of art in which you do not use filters, plug-ins, or any helping hands. It is a tedious style, and a specific type. MSPaint is much more swift when it comes to make Pixel Art compared to Photoshop. The less add-ons and features make more user friendly and streamlined. Shutup.
