It's pixel art, just not the types of pixels most people want in pixel art.
- abustamam 9mo agoPixel art has a certain connotation (probably more accurately referred to as 8-bit or 16-bit). Otherwise every digital image could be classified as pixel art.
- nonethewiser 9mo agoIt's pixel art in the same way that everything rendered on a computer screen is pixel art. It's all pixels.
- dmacj 9mo agoThat is reductive, why not call all everything CGI then? Or call CGI pixel art as well? As we’re talking about “art”, it’s necessarily going to be subjective, but pixel art has certain style aspects such as use of 2x1 lines (https://www.the-pixel-artist.com/articles/top-ten-things-new-pixel-artists-should-know https://www.the-pixel-artist.com/articles/top-ten-things-new...). This is just an example, while I’m not saying that every convention must be met in order to qualify as pixel art, not having any doesn’t make a useful definition of a genre.
