Your own definitions do not even add up. Regular images (not regular art) are technically infinite resolution images with the only limitation being the 32bpp colour scheme (which can go up infinitely too, but displays are a limitation) Pixel art is a style and movement replicating the low resolution and limited colour (and sometimes other limitations such as sprite limits per scanline of NES) sprites, especially of older games.
- _0ffh 10y agoI was making a good natured comment, and not trying to put anyone down. And I cannot see any inconsistencies in my explanation. We were calling pixel artists "pixel artists" before "pixel art" came to be a distinctive low resolution style. That's just a fact. And, no, there is no such thing as infinite resolution.
- grenoire 10y agoThere is infinite resolution, just not infinite space.
- khedoros 10y agoEven an image created in a physical medium (e.g. oil paints) has a limited resolution. Vector/polygon art is "infinite resolution" (but not infinite detail/complication), and so are some other forms of mathematically-defined images (example: fractals like the Mandelbrot set, which are infinitely detailed as well).
- _0ffh 10y ago@grenoire "There is infinite resolution, just not infinite space." Now you're getting philosophical! :)
- grenoire 10y agoIt's true though; not enough space for display, and not enough space for storage!
