pixel art

An image drawn with a pixelated art style, typically with large individual pixels and a limited color palette.

This may be either intentional or as a restriction by the software used to create it. This is common in older GIF images as well as images meant to invoke game sprites.

Different from oekaki, which has less emphasis on being drawn with individual pixels.
