Welcome to the PMC Community Pixel Project!

Planet Minecraft has many places where pixel art is a great addition from profile decorations to content aesthetics.

Minecraft attracts many pixel art appreciators to the game, and a lot of members on PMC enjoy making skins, textures and other forms of pixel artworks. Pixel art has a natural home here. We think it will be fun to create decorative pixel art together while improving our pixel placing skills, sharing tips and resources and ultimately help with everyone's content & profile presentation options.

Typically anything you find online including pixel art is not free to use and/or credit must understandably accompany the art. We fully respect that but it can be challenging to improve the aesthetics of your posts with pixel art while also explicitly crediting each. It can also be challenging to find suitable pixel art in the first place.

So, we want to work together to create a library of pixel art available for the PMC community to use freely in our posts & profile pages. Fresh pixels for everyone!

The PMC library of pixel art will give full credit to contributors and the BBCODE for the artwork will by default link to where credit can be found. Currently, we're going to maintain this thread but as the library grows, we plan to develop an interactive section on the site that will make it easy to find & filter pixel art for different purposes in our community.


For the first round of the pixel project, we'll focus on creating pixel dividers! A divider is a horizontal decoration, which can be used for separating content. See the pixel art divider below our thread intro doing its job? Using them can add a nice creative touch to your wall / forum / blog posts, submission descriptions, custom widgets and the about section on your profile! They can help readers know when one topic ends and another begins or simply because they are simply fun to add.

Dividers can be animated or static, wiggle or no wiggle, pixels are pixelated!

Examples: Have a look at PMC's wallpost weeklys, anonpmc2558251's profile page and DinowCookie's Secret Santa event to see how dividers can be used to make a text more fun looking.


Pixel art is the art of using pixels as the building blocks of creating artwork. The typically low resolution format, allows careful placement of every pixel (color) producing art that is uniquely crisp and purposeful. Some might call it retro or old school graphics but most can appreciate it as a unique timeless art form. It's also an approachable form of art for novices while, like most things, it will take a lifetime to master.

Don't worry if you have not made pixel art before! Everyone starts somewhere, maybe it's here for you. We're hoping this project inspires novice pixel artists to try it out and attracts advanced pixel artists to show us how it's done in the form of sharing work, resources & helping others.

PROGRAMS & TOOLS
You can make pixel art in most image editing software, but pixel art is a unique art form and we recommend:

• piskelapp.com - Free online open source pixel art editor.
  
• pixilart.com - Free online pixel art editor
  
• paint.net - Free program.
  
• Aseprite - (costs $14.99). Windows, Linux, Mac
  

RESOURCES & TUTORIALS
There's a lot more than meets the eye when it comes to high quality pixel art. Fortunately, like most art forms, you can choose to dabble or dig deeper. It all depends on what your trying to accomplish and of course your available time and motivation.

• This tutorial on Pixel Joint covers a lot of the basic & advanced topics around creating quality pixel art.
  
• Lospec Tutorials : Over 500 pixel art tutorials from beginner to advanced
  

Feel free to suggest additional tools, resources for pixel art and help others in this project.
