Hey there everyone! Welcome to the Original Pixel Artists Club! Here we salute those who take the time and dedication to pump out original pixel artwork, and show a true mastery of the pixels. Whether you are a new pixel artist, a veteran, or simply a pixel art admirer, this is the club for you!
Please keep in mind this is a work in progress club. Anyone wishing to be a moderator and help take care of this club, send a note to Kakurine. Give a reason why you would make a good moderator, and I'll consider adding you on the club staff. :3
Pixel art can generally go by unnoticed by the art community. Though when it does shine through, many can come to appreciate how complex pixel arts can really be. If you're a pixel artist, or one who likes looking at a different style of artwork, you are free to join and submit artwork as you please. But do keep in mind that there are some rules, and you can be removed from the club if you do not follow them.
This club is NOT a place for you to post recolored/edited sprites. All you sprite folks can head on over to another club, thanks. This is not a place for you to post your sonic fan characters, or show off your animation skills with someone else's pixel works. Nor is this a place to post up doll maker screen shots, or pre-made customs done by someone else. This is a club for YOUR original art. Please keep this in mind.
Submitting art is simple and open for all, but there are some things you need to keep in mind:
* Sprite recolors (sonic, mega man, naruto, etc.) are NOT ALLOWED, and are not tolerated in this club. If you try to submit any sprite recolors, your art will be removed, and you will be given a warning. If you try again, you WILL be banned from the club. We do not tolerate stealing pixels here.
* Sprite comics of an unoriginal nature are NOT PERMITTED. I don't care how "funny" you can make a comic with Sonic and Mario appear, it's not allowed here.
* Animating of video game/anime sprites are NOT ALLOWED. Yes, that means anything of a SMBZ type animation. Unless all sprites are 100% yours, it doesn't belong here.
* Drawing over pixel bases are NOT ALLOWED. The only exception is if YOU made the base yourself. But please, unless you've drawn the base, do NOT submit them to this club.
* Fanart of game/anime/book/movie characters are not permitted to be submitted to the club. This was decided by popular vote of the club itself. There are plenty of other clubs that allow fanart. We need a club that doesn't for a change.
* Gift art to other artists is permitted. Please do not confuse gift art with fan art.
* Please keep all art submissions within the Sheezy ToS.
* Any questions, please send me a note, or post in the club forums.
The forums are very open, so you may talk about anything, even things not about pixel art within it. Just be aware that anything of a bashing/flaming nature will not be tolerated, and will risk your thread being deleted/you being ejected from the club. If you have questions about if your art meets the guidelines, you can post it in the forums.
That's basically it. Remember, this club is a work in progress, so anyone willing to help design/moderate it is encouraged to send Kakurine a PM.
Have fun! :)

I had to remove quite a few submissions from the club today. Just reminding everyone that drawing over pixel bases, UNLESS they were 100% made by you, is NOT allowed in this club. You will only be warned once, and if found to have done it again, I will remove you from the club.
Also moderators, these pictures had dated back for quite some time ago. I expect you guys to actually, y'know, watch over the club when I'm not around. Things like this need to be spotted and dealt with.
