when Pixel art goes to SPRITE ART

05.38 |

Yeah I'd say pixel art refers to images that stand on their own away from games. Imagine a painting only done in a more precise manner.

Sprites are more typically made out of pixels but could be vector graphics or even 3d models are still referred to as sprites sometimes I believe. Sprites would encompass things like Characters, enemies, items things you interact with. Background elements are classed as tiles.

Pixel art generally refers to both a stand alone image or a video game sprite though.

"In computer graphics, a sprite is a two-dimensional/three-dimensional image or animation that is integrated into a larger scene."

Therefore I would say sprite-art is defined as anything created with either the purpose of what's stated above or perhaps derived or inspired by it.

Pixel-art involves the use of pixels as a prime focus and element in the creation of a piece of creative work. I'd say. Sprite-art can be pixel-art, but not all sprite-art is pixel-art and not all pixel-art is sprite-art.

this all what i know about sprite art and pixel art
