The Beautiful Pixel Art Of ‘Pixels Huh’

April 10, 2015 By Ms. ausretrogamer

pixels huh 2

Inspired by his love for classic video games, Barcelona-based graphic designer and illustrator Octavi Navarro ‘Pixels Huh’ creates simply beautiful, unique and highly-detailed pixel art scenes.

He remembers ‘being blown away with the rich worlds those (classic video game) designers and artists were able to create with such heavy limitations’.

Here are a few of his works – I could literally spend hours looking at them! Be sure to visit the Pixels Huh website to see the rest.
