Now I had addressed this issue in another News article of mine regarding common pixel art miscategorizations news.deviantart.com/article/92… however, it seems that there is still confusion regarding the official video game pixel art and DA.
To be very clear, the official Video Game sprites which includes sprite sheets, animations made with sprite sheets, and any edits made of said sprites, are not permitted on DeviantArt at all.
Additionally, Video Game pixel art cannot be used as a base for original pixel art, such as Pokemon Trainers made from the official game sprites or classic Mega Man sprites used as a base for other characters. I know that many people put a lot of effort into their video game sprite edits, and some may look very original, but it still does not make it original art.
The fact is that if you do not have explicit permission to modify, publish and/or redistribute from the owner of the game in question, then you cannot upload video game sprite sheets or modified sprites to DeviantArt, even if cite your sources. Please remember that just because it is pixel art does not make it any less important or serious than other form of art. Please give pixel art the respect it deserves by removing any video game sprites, edited or not, you have uploaded.

Digital Watercolor Commissions
Like the style of the work I did for Art Fight? Well you can get one of your own if you'd like! Currently offering this commissions for 75 USD, but the price is subject to change after a time. Character can be drawn anywhere from a half-body to full-body, depending on how the composition best frames the given area. I work with a loose set of keywords you give me to give some direction for what you're looking for, but I ultimately determine what I draw with the character. If you have any questions you're welcome to comment here, direct message, or email.
Original Character Permissions Meme
I have a significant amount of characters with set stories that I work on, most of my art involves said characters and you can find lists and information on either my wiki or my toyhouse. http://wiki.armaina.com https://toyhou.se/armaina One important thing that applies to all questions regarding making works involving my characters: Yes is with the provision that it is in-character to some degree. Don’t know if something is in-character? Ask me! All my modes of contact are open, genuinely I have no problem with being contacted out of the blue to be asked a stupid question, especially if it’s about my characters. Fanart - Yes Headcanons - I can’t stop your brain from coming up with ideas, but if you bring them to me, be prepared to be told exactly how things are. Shipping - No, the only people that this does not apply to are the people that I have been friends with for a long time that I know for certain understand my boundaries when it comes to coupling. OC friends is cool, OC
Comic Under Way
Back in September, I set aside time to script, thumb, and draw a small 6 page comic that services as a prelude and teaser to the full comic that I am working on. As a refresher, these are the pages I'm referring to: Since I have made this, I have been working slowly in the background on the script and details for the full comic. The full comic will not be posted here, but will be posted to it's own website that I'll announce when I get started. In the mean time, I've been discussing plans and ideas in my Discord Server. My discord server invite code is: XbJXHEH On my Patreon I give early access to my work (and high res files if that's your thing), and in my Discord I have a special channel for Patrons where I drop previews of the script itself as I work on it. If that sounds cool or you'd just like to support me: https://www.patreon.com/armaina
No More Pixel Art Commissions
I had an announcement on Twitter on September 12th about this, but I feel that maybe I should make a long post about this. As the title implies, I am no longer offering pixel art commissions of any kind. I may still make pixel art on my own and I have one or two deals I worked out in the past, but I am no longer taking new pixel art commissions and I do not see this changing in the foreseeable future. I started the format for fun and I still enjoy it, but it quickly became the only thing people ever purchased from me or followed me for and I've grown exhausted by this. I'm tried of it being the only thing people ever wanted to buy from me, I'm tired of it being the only work I did that anyone saw value in, I don't want it to be that way anymore, so I'm not going to let it. If I do pixel art again, it will be on my own terms, not for anyone else. As for commissions in general, it will only be illustrated either in traditional or digital formats. However, I will be very sparing and
