Hello how are you?

I am a hardcore gamer. I love the games of my life. This week i watch a impressive video of PixelArt similar of Metal Slug. And now i love Pixelart ^_^

My impression it is that in the iPhone. Everybody do not appreciate the pixels Now all it is make with Illustrator and Vectorials. What happen with the pixels!!

It really depends on the game. The thing is, your art style isn't very pixelated. It's more along these lines:

Because of the iPhone DPI, your artwork is going to look more like regular artwork made in Photoshop or Illustrator. Try to exaggerate the pixels.

my newest game #poodleinvasion uses pixel art for the graphics.
my main character is 40x40, and enemies go from 40x40 until 120x120.
size really depends on what your game is going to look like.

this is the link from my game's site, check it out to see the graphics.

Go pixel art! My fighter is going to have low-res sprites similar to Sega Mega Drive... oh and if you're not too offended easily, check out my 48Hour film competition entry this year... done in the style of an Atari 2600... a warning, though, IT IS NOT FOR KIDS, even though it is very childish... contains graphic (or as graphic as a 2600 can be) sexual acts... YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
