I keep telling myself to post more #pixelart so here you go. More goofy huge-eyes OCs in a palette I picked up from @rejectedpalettes.bsky.social; this one is using the Monokai palette, from the text editor of the same name, I think!

pixelart illustration in different shades of orange and dark blues. The picture shows the portrait of a hooded, anthropomorphic crow person, Looking down at the viewer. The crow grabs the hood at the front with a crow claw like hand. Poofy little feathers burst out under the hood and cape where they can. In the background one can see a bright burning fire, maybe from a campsite, and the orange glowing moon is looming over some treetops In the Top right corner is the signature of the artist (Sabaku) and the number "003". In the lower right corner you can read the name of the color palette (Orange/Blue) and see all the colors of the palette in a color strip

Tried something for #RPL2026Challenge using the
"Happy New Year 2026 :D" palette by Spriter Gors gors.bsky.social
Someone in armor, carrying a sword on a spiral staircase, is turning to look at something that is probably horrible. Something is on the blade. It might be blood, or... (11 colors used from a palette of 12. Also, I am afraid of the jpeg conversion process)

とあるドット絵サイトのパレットとドット絵の奉納のルールが理不尽すぎて僕の作品を何度も拒まれたことがありました。その分けで僕は友人と共に「Rejected Palettes」（不合格パレット）というサイトを建て、没になったパレットを収納し始めました。そのパレットはだれでも使ってもよく、ドット絵だけではなくデジタルアートに採用しても構いません。
完成したアートはサイトギャラリーに載せることができ、かつて不便だといわれたパレットの真の魅力を堪能することができます。

We are delighted to see someone use the palettes in such a thoughtful way! The art pieces are so lovely and expressive, and it's always a joy to see the thought process behind its creation.
Visit #RejectedPalettes and make your art, too!

Hottake: The best DK out there (he is from Demon Tides

#Pixel_dailies theme #dk for @pixeldailies.bsky.social

Palette: "Chills" by Buzzoopa
@rejectedpalettes.bsky.social

#pixelart #fanart
Pixel Art Illustration of "DK", a character from the game "Demon Tides". He is standing there with broad legs and arms crossed, looking to the right. He is a shadowy space being that has kind of a humanoid shape with fluffy hair bound to a high ponytail, but the skin is looking like it's made out of space itself, while the eyes are glowing yellow. In the pixelart illustration the skin is simplified to a dark blue-purple hue. He has lenky arms and big hands that have bandages wrapped around, he has also bandages around the mouth and around the waist. He is wearing bright yellow pants with wide trouser cuffs. He's wearing pink sandals, and would also wear a pink top, but its obscured by the big hands . The background is filled with a light pink. Only a few silhouettes of clouds are also in the background + the silhouettes of two tiny birds. In the lower half of the picture is a palette of all the used colors + the signature of the artist ("Sabaku, 2025")

Oh right I should post some art.

Some ladies I doodled ages ago using colours from "Jacob Lenard palette" by HunterRuizFan543 on @rejectedpalettes.bsky.social.

The larger images are from October 2021; the smaller sprites are from June of last year. I should draw the missing ones, too...

#pixelart
Pixel art of five women in various outfits. CW from noon: A red-eyed tan-skinned, shorter woman in a low-cut green crop top with curly, blue-grey hair tied back in a short ponytail and loose bangs on her right side. A tall green-eyed woman with an amber one-piece swimsuit and long, straight, blue hair pulled back in a ponytail. An even taller big-tiddy robot with an old-style security camera for a head standing in the rain wearing a wet track jacket. A purple-eyed ginger imp girl with straight, short, somewhat messy pink/rose/red hair, green horns, and olive skin wearing a white choker zipper bandeau top and shorts. A hazel-eyed, brown skinned woman with even messier short white hair, green eyelashes and fignernails, and an outfit that a bootleg of Aeon Fluxx might have worn to a French nightclub in 2001 (if anyone has actually read the alt text this far and wants a proper description, let me know and I'll happily do it in a followup post ;0; <3). The first, second, and fourth character have a smaller pixel art sprite of that character in their respective costumes. Each element is attended by a watermark and timecode.

Self imposed challenge!

I'm choosing color palettes from #RejectedPalettes and make pixelart with them. This is my first entry of (hopefully) many to come!

Entry # 001 was made with
Scientific by Alper Akalın

@RejectedPalettes.bsky.social #rejectedColors
pixelart illustration in very vibrant colors, mostly warm orange and bright green and red. The picture shows the portrait of a person looking over her shoulder and waving at the viewer. She has elf like ears, green hair and big anime style eyes. She is wearing something that looks like a dress with a deep neckline. She is also holding a wooden staff in the other hand.

pixelart illustration in different shades of muted red. The picture shows the portrait of a wrinkly older person, smiling broadly and holding a bouquet of gigantic flowers. The person looks a little bit like a dwarf person, wearing a mushroom cap with white dots as a hat. In the Top right corner is the signature of the artist (Sabaku) and the number "002". In the lower right corner you can read the name of the color palette (red gb) and see all the colors of the palette in a color strip

Greetings. I've been slow on updates, and this is entirely my own fault. I'm updating the site with the newest palettes, and I intend to finish it later tonight or this weekend. I'll also be adding the art pieces that have been submitted, and post about it on social media. Thanks for your patience!
Latest graph of "palette submitters"; only the ones who sent more than 10 palettes were counted. "Aire Matthew Bauzon"is currently killing it with 17,7% of the palettes! Other remarkable submitters: Esther: 11,7% CarlBrook: 9,4% EliyahX: 7,9%

pal: Jacob Lenard's Palettes Be Like by HunterRuizFan543 on the Rejected Palettes List at @rejectedpalettes.bsky.social, 55c.

#pixelart
Pixel art. A large-breasted robot in a damp blue tracksuit ands in the rain against a grey-blue background with a mechanical hand raised. She has an old-style security camera for a head. The head and hand are a bronze-brass colour. The entire image is rotated almost one degree clockwise. There is a slight watermark across the entire image. Both are intended to defeat AI scraping; god only knows if it works. There is a more obvious ANC signature (also pixel art) with a datestamp below it, above the figure's left (our right) shoulder.

I pity the people who don't realize how insidious you are, you really do not deserve anything coming from me or my friends. You are a false artist who doesn't care about creativity, I really hope none of your endeavors bear fruit in any meaningful capacity.

Hey Skeddles, I've blocked you but I hope this message finds you. I hope you are unsuccessful in any and every project you partake, for making such frivolous and unsavory comment towards my own site and using your power and Lospec community to enable such behavior.
