:: Pixel Art Sites ::

http://pixel-arts.org/pixelopolis/
Pixelopolis.  Its a temporary forum until the new Pixelation is remade, but probably the strongest pixel art community out there anyway.  Game developers and Pro artists drop by there on occasion.

www.pixeljoint.com
a great, laid-back, pixel art gallery and forum.  SedgeMonkey sure pours out his heart and soul into this community and you can certainly tell.  It's well worth the look.

www.GameDev.net
A huge community of game developers.  Lots of connections, resources, and great stuff you can download from here.  Companies often hire through this site.

www.UnderwareDesign.com
The Creators of the Play BASIC programming language.  A small community, but growing, non-the-less.

www.theGameCreators.com
The Creators of many great game dev products including Dark BASIC pro and FPS creator.  They are also affiliated with Pro-Motion.  Yummie.
