[Soul-Blade]

I never said it isn't skilled art - what I am trying to say is it does require skill and talent to do pixel art. It is just a lower level...in fact, just about the first level...as far as skill goes. You don't see many people doing pixel art anymore, and clearly there is a reason for that. You don't see Graal with over a million players like say...oh...World of Warcraft and obviously there is a reason for that. This arguement that pixel art is better then say that dragon, or cg art, is just INSANE. It is MUCH harder to create something in psp or photoshop that looks good, it is MUCH harder to create a realistic 3d model and a scene to go along with it. These tools simply unlock another level that was otherwise impossible - but they are no easier to operate then someone doing pixel art in paint. They are much harder, and require much more time learning how to use the programs. That especially applys to modelling and skinning and such.
