topic iconFat Pixels - January 2026 TOTM

For January, the contest theme will be Pixelart. Participants are invited to submit thematic sets of pixel-style graphics, focusing on sharp edges, consistent grids, and deliberate use of limited resolution. So, no using smooth vector shapes this time! Submissions may include icons, cursors, or assemblers, provided they adhere to a pixelart aesthetic. All entries must be original works, though inspiration may be drawn from classic games and early digital interfaces.
