This Month's Artist Community Showcase is a special tribute to honor and pay respect not only to the Artists listed, but to all things Classic Nintendo and Mario related!  Felt it would be nice to do a Themed Feature this month, so I hope everyone enjoys each of the Artists showcased and their works.

Although the deviations chosen within this feature below are all of Retro Nintendo Gaming inspiration, I'd hope for it to not reflect the Artists as being strictly limited to such works.  Please spend a moment to browse through each Artist to get a greater taste of their Artworks and creations, and definitely comment +fav and follow to show your love and support.  Enjoy!

Welcome to this Month's Artist Community Showcase.  Normally I write and publish these during the middle of the month, though lately much has been going on and it's taken me away from doing a lot of the art and work I love.  Although it's still very relevant because this Months Showcase features many Artists that I've only recently had the honor of stumbling across, including from works that were submitted just this month.  One of my favorite things to do on the site (when time permits) is to browse the "newest" artworks added to DeviantART and often come across wonderful and incredibly talented Artists this way.

Thank you to all who read and view this Month's feature, and I hope it's enjoyed by many.  I wouldn't ask of anyone to comment any certain way upon the works of the Artists listed, though would hope to ask that if you do come across pieces you love, that you take a moment in letting the artist know what it is about the work you enjoy by leaving a comment on their work or page.  A small bit of appreciation can go miles within the hearts of us all, and I would greatly appreciate it myself if some took the time to comment.  Please don't forget to and follow any of the Artists listed to show your support and to receive future updates from them.

Pixel Art

Flatworms

Flatworms is an amazing Artist whose pixel works I feel are more like miniature pixelated paintings in their essence of thought, composition and style.  His artworks have very unique qualities to them and often Flatworms utilizes classic video-game system palette's which gives some of his work a touch of nostalgic feel.  Only recently a new Deviant upon the site and though he has but a few awesome pieces submitted, I'm positive they will continue growing in numbers.  Do take a moment to check out Flatworms' art and please leave a comment on the pieces you enjoy, +fav and add to your watchlist if you'd like to help support and keep updated with his future creations!
