I might say otherwise. If this was 10 years ago, I might be amazed by it. But it is now. And that is a old, pathetic style. |
He's no legend, just one of the few pixel artists that are capable of that level of art. So because something is pixelized, it's crap? Way to be biased. Pathetic? I guess you find most cathederal art pathetic too.

That's a load of bull****. From your level right now with using PSP or whatever you use, you're in no comparison. Your brush, and pixel art, can never be compared to his, or anyone else in his league. As well the challenge opinion, there's challenge to every style of art.

Dude, go take a ****ing look a Nintendo and Sony. We've got a mass supply of pixel art based games on the Gameboy Advance, Sony Playstation (See: Nippon Ichi) and now Cell phones. You're an ignorant fool to have even said that.

If you start with pixel art you will likely keep your eye for detail (at least I did while I was still using a mouse). |
No, the artist does the work. Despite him/her using mouse, tablet, brush, or pencil tool.

Different goals? How the hell would you know? I've given up on pixel art as a passion and do line art when I'm bored. You say I don't like to see unreal things? Gwaha. Right-o. I'm progressing into traditional mediums and illustration, so please don't assume what my goals are.
You may think pixel art easy, but you will never be capable of the genius artwork behind games like Phantom Brave, Fire Emblem, hell even Pokemon.
Edit; PS, I can fly but I just choose not to. Right?
