Padmé Amidala on a sunny field naively asking "for the better, right?"
Pixel art portrait of twitch streamer Northernlion, using the style and restrictions of character portraits as they appear in the game Mina the Hollower: 32x32 pixels, 4 colors (from darker to lighter, black, pink, light gray, pale yellow), clean rendering with large color chunks and minimal texturing. The subject is a bald white mean with beard stubble, wearing a pair of headphones, glasses, and what appears to be a hoodie. He has a "pogging" expression, appearing surprising and excited. He looks left and slightly down. A square yellow border with a pink "drop shadow" frames the portrait. A tiny stamp of a green goblin is displayed at the far bottom right corner of the canvas, standing for the artist's signature.
Pixel art portrait of the Andor character Kino Loy (Andy Serkis), in a muted, near monotone palette of low saturation purples and oranges. The image is composed as if it were a dialog interaction in a video game. The subject is a middle-aged man, has slicked back hair, and a close trimmed beard. He wars white and orange overalls similar to a prisoner's jumpsuit. He appears to lean in, staring directly at the viewer with a serious expression, and mouth slightly open. A textbox of while text on a black background below reads: "now hop in that ship and find Glup Shitto." The name "Glup Shitto" is highlighted in orange, and an orange downwards arrow appears in the bottom right corner, implying there is more text to follow, upon player confirmation.
Three pixel art portraits on a low-contrast light brown grid. The portrait on the top left displays a man with short, messy hair, thick eyebrows and a scruffy beard and mustache. He wears round glasses, and has a surprised expression on his face. This portrait uses a gray-tone palette with slight yellow highlights. The portrait on the top right shows a girl with brown hair and rosy, freckled cheeks. Her hair is styled with forehead-length braids on the front, falls over her shoulders in two braids. She looks towards the viewer with a pleasant smile on her face. This portrait uses mostly browns and beiges, with slight pink highlights. The final portrait, on the bottom, show an older woman, with wavy, medium-short hair. She has thick eyebrows, large eyes, long lashes and full lips. Her one visible ear shows a pearl earring. Her cheeks are rosy and slightly freckled. She has a slightly disinterested expression, and stares towards the viewer. This portrait uses a similar palette to the previous one, but with darker tones for the skin.
Pixel art scene showing the interior of a brick tower. On the wall, two lit braziers flank a pointed arch window. The window offers a view of the night sky and frames the full moon, as a thin mist blows in front of it. The camera pans down to reveal a ritual circle carved on the floor, circumscribing an inverted pentagram, and surrounded by runic-looking glyphs and five unlit red candles on each of the pentagram's points. The circle and pentagram begin filling with blood in an angular pattern, and as the blood pass by each point of the star, the corresponding candle lights up.

A looping gif of a Game Boy Color-inspired pixel art scene, showing a small brown dog walking down a path in the woods. The path is surrounded by bushes, trees, flowers and mushrooms. The dog walks out of a small fenced area, then over a bridge crossing a river, before looping back to its starting point in the woods.
Idle and attack pixel art animations the Ribshield unit: a white skull with large teeth, sitting inside a green circular portal, surrounded by spinning bones and vertebrae. It bounces to the right and left, before opening its large maw, as its rib-like appendages separate and splay out to the left and right. It then lunges and bites the air in front of it, as its ribs clamp down like an insects mandibles.
Two different images posted by user "snow-kiss" about a month apart, claiming to be unique original pieces. They both show a seemingly pixel art rendition of a wizard in a robe and had, holding a cane and casting a spell. The sprites are remarkably similar, with only random variations made without a clear motivation. They also display pixels with mixed resolution, non-square pixels, off-grid pixels and diagonal lines that would be impossible at the suggested resolution. Beneath the images there are random characters added as supposed "alt text".

Pixel art drawing of four characters. Each is depicted as a 4-color 48x48 px character portrait, a 4-color 24x24 px portrait, and a 3-color (plus transparency) 16x16 px 4-frame walk cycle. The first character is a tall red-haired woman with red lips and pointed ears, wearing a red dress that exposes her shoulders. She smiles slightly, holds her chin high and looks downwards at the viewer. The second character is a boy with blue hair in a blue hoodie, who stares off to the upper left with a smile. The third character is a short woman, with short purple hair, in a lab coat. She has a slightly goofy expression and stares off to the right side. The fourth character is a brown dog with shaggy fur and pronounced "eyebrows". He has a serious expression and stares off to the upper right corner.
Pixel art illustration of an angelic young man, with two pearlescent white wings growing out of his back. He is shown with a determined expression on his face, gliding towards the lower right corner of the frame, pointing ahead with a curved dagger on his left hand, and holding a matching dagger close to his body on his right hand. He wears a blue tunic, brown pants, boots and gloves, and has brown short hair with a middle part. The illustration uses a pastel color palette, with a slight bluish tint to the colors. The static sprite is displayed on top of a blue checkered background that scrolls towards the top left of the frame. It is framed by a white border, which is interrupted at the lower right where the artist's signature is displayed, reading "datagoblin".
