口口口口 Isometric Pixel Art 口口口口

The first pixel art is created back in the year 1972 by using Richard Shoup's SuperPaint system.
However, the term 'pixel art' was only then given this name 10 years later by Adele Goldberg & Robert Flegal. 


Pixel art is then widely spread and currently, pixel art is actively used in games and applications for mobile phones and other portable devices, often used for internet websites and continues to attract attention. Drawing of high quality pixel graphics is quite difficult and not everyone who can draw, can do it professionally.


What is Isometric Pixel Art ?
The number one rule of Isometric Pixel Art is to make lines that are two pixels in one direction with a single pixel in another. 
This rule is the basis of every single isometric pixel art image and is probably the most important thing to remember.
Isometric projection is a projection which is used to represent a three-dimensional object or objects in two dimensions. An object is seen from above. The top, left, and right side of the object are visible.
26.56 degrees is commonly used in pixel art.
This is also referred to as the 2:1 pixel pattern ratio.
Examples of iso art :
















Different from iso, normal pixel art is being created with two or more perspective views.
For example :

In addition, through my research, i found something similar to pixel art and it really draws my attention as I am really fond of these tiny little badges!
Same as pixel art, these cross-stitched patterns are also constructing pictures out of small colored units analogous in tiny little square shapes.
This is my favourite !! yoshi from mario



There are so many different types of badges from game character to complicated patterns, all of them are for SALE !
