You might think pixel art is a little out of date but you can't deny its intricate details are fun to look at. I recently dabbled in pixels for an illustration I'm working on and I quickly realized two things.
1. Pixel art is ridiculously time consuming, more so than any other digital work I have done before
2. The kings of this art form are without doubt 'Eboy'.
Eboy is a collective of three German guys who are all expert with pixels. A cityscape like the example above typically takes them 6 to 8 weeks working full time. But why does it take so long? because everything you see is created by filling individual pixels with colour- about the size of this dot --> .
With this in mind- fuck knows how they made the advert below!

I don't think this type of art will really ever be out of date, because I think people will appreciate the skill level behind it and the vivid colour usage and illustrative style for a good while yet- I think its great...seeing too much of it at once is a bit much, but a little look into it now and again is great!
