As it happens I'm just on a train to Airbnb with large group of demoscene and fractal art friends, full week ahead of the Revision[0] demoparty! Hells yeah
My top pick for pixel art would be anything by Made of demogroup Bomb, don't have a good link to hand sorry and need to change trains etc. Also check this amazing pixel art book: https://www.themastersofpixelart.com/
Here you go! https://amiga.lychesis.net/sceners/Made.html
That whole site (and more) is worth checking out of course. My favorite pixel art image at the moment is this: https://amiga.lychesis.net/sceners/Facet.html#Facet_SamTakin...
Made is still active in the demoscene and creating art for/with (the restrictions of) old platforms.
Those books look amazing! *_*
Snatched the collection. Thanks for mentioning it!
There are also Editions64K books https://www.editions64k.fr . But it's more Amiga scene oriented.
I have two pages in this book (Saffron/TBL).
I made the images in Deluxe Paint when I was 16-18 years old. It was a lovely surprise to be contacted two decades later by the author who wanted to print them in this beautiful book among many far more talented artists.
