8-Bit Art
8-Bit Art is a digital art style that mimics the graphics of early video games, particularly those from the 1980s. It uses a limited color palette and a grid-based approach, resulting in pixelated images that evoke nostalgia for retro gaming. This art form is characterized by its simplicity and blocky appearance, often featuring iconic characters and scenes.
The term "8-bit" refers to the data width of the original gaming consoles, which could process 256 colors at a time. Artists create 8-Bit Art using software that allows them to manipulate individual pixels, resulting in unique and recognizable designs that celebrate the aesthetics of vintage technology.
