After a lot of work digging through the complete pixel art section of the forum - reading, collecting and organizing all the threads I am now quite proud to share this massive amount of knowledge finally in a quite easy accessible way for all artists interested in the topic of pixel art.
I chose threads which I thought had really valuable critique, stunning artwork or good improvements from which one can easily learn or get inspiration.
