In Need of Pixel Art for My Article

I wrote an article about pixel art and why indie game devs use it. But, I need some images for the article. I'm hoping to have a diverse list of different pixel artists contribute.

Here's the Article: https://pixliz.com/pixliz-blog/f/why-do-indie-games-use-pixel-art

In exchange for using the images, I'd give credit to the creator in the caption, a concise description of the image and a clickable link back to a relevant website. A relevant website could include a link to the game being depicted or a website of related pixel art designs made by the creator.

I need the following kinds or depictions of images or gifs in pixel art design

pixel art software
game dev team
sprite sheet
calculations, preferable pixels vs polygons representation
UI or polished looking game menu(s)
computer
file size

Oh wow! The owl your wife helped with is so cute! And I love The Great Crystal Sword sprite.

I really like your 8px Characters design. I think that it would fit well either under the heading "Casual Gamer Accessibility" or "Less Problems to Optimize".

Would you mind if I changed the format of the image to be a long rectangle rather than a square?

Thank you for your patience. I've added the image to the article with the caption and link back to your DeviantArt page.

You may use it. However, check the article every so often. I may be replacing images and captions over time. This is to keep the article looking fresh and to implement new SEO practices as they become relevant.

And thank you for reading. I appreciate it.
