ngl, this was a fun thing to be a part of. truthfully, i have a bit of a fear of competitions from past experience. always wanted to do more of them, but, they were stressful from past experience. this however, was delightful, and ill be putting my hand into this jar much more in the future ^.^

out of curiosity, is there a deadline or announcement for the competition when it ends?

The deadline is roughly 3am PST on the 24th, although late entries will still be considered.

Today is a celebration of the pixel art medium and everyone is welcome to share their own original pixel art, animation, games or chiptunes.

If you share something for Pixel Day today, include the “pixelday2025” tag. If your work is making its world premiere as part of the event and you would like to be eligible for prizes, also include the "pixelday2025-compo" tag.

If you’re a pixel artist who has never shared your work on NG, we’d love to see you join in! This is our tenth annual Pixel Day on NG.

@ProsciuttoMan wanted to outdo last year’s wall art so he once again brought in @Roverkibb and they tackled 100 characters from games here on NG!

I've added it now, it got missed because it wasn't showing up in the tag search, although I've fixed that now. Had you used scheduled publishing by any chance? I think that tends to be the culprit when this sort of thing happens.

I decided that this year I was not going to participate, even so, I enjoy seeing the work of other artists and their pixel art! By the way, is that a reference to Earthbound in the wall art?
