There's no pixel art in these images in my opinion (no pixel level detail). You would be better posting these to the low spec forum.

The actual character and level looked like pixel art to my untrained eye - the portrait to the top left definitely isn't, I agree with you there. But it looks like the character was drawn at a pixel level?

there is definitely pixel art in there.

ffman22, you shouldnt really use JPEGS to show pixel art as it adds compression artefacts. try PNG or if its less than 256 colours, gifs are fine too.  Also, try and post some assets in their native (1:1 pixel ratio) format, it makes edits and stuff much easier.

1362 colours. In one picture. You know, I`m not sure you did it as a pixel art piece. :) If you did it yourself, tell us which instruments you used. A brush, perhaps? You shouldn`t use instruments which mix colours in any ways. This looks nice, but it`s not a pixel art.
