pixelart illustration in different shades of muted red. The picture shows the portrait of a wrinkly older person, smiling broadly and holding a bouquet of gigantic flowers. The person looks a little bit like a dwarf person, wearing a mushroom cap with white dots as a hat. In the Top right corner is the signature of the artist (Sabaku) and the number "002". In the lower right corner you can read the name of the color palette (red gb) and see all the colors of the palette in a color strip

Self imposed challenge!

I'm choosing color palettes from #RejectedPalettes and make pixelart with them. This is my first entry of (hopefully) many to come!

Entry # 001 was made with
Scientific by Alper Akalın

pixelart illustration in very vibrant colors, mostly warm orange and bright green and red. The picture shows the portrait of a person looking over her shoulder and waving at the viewer. She has elf like ears, green hair and big anime style eyes. She is wearing something that looks like a dress with a deep neckline. She is also holding a wooden staff in the other hand.

Thanks for the overwhelmingly positive reactions to my #RejectedPalettes art. It makes me feel vindicated and inspires me to keep doing what's right.

Here are four more #PixelArt pieces that I made with palettes deemed unfit for art. I hope you enjoy them!
Japanese landscape featuring Daimonji mountain and a woman in kimono on a bridge. Her face is obscured by a parasol. Girl with space buns holding a cutting board with a pizza on top. She is accompanied with several ingredients and standing next to a brick oven. The text says L'Arte Pizzeria. 80's aerobic girl with Memphis pattern inspired background Friendly goblin girl with round glasses, holding a freshly baked pie next to her pet mini-griffin.

pal: Basketball's aventure by Aire Matthew Bauzon
A pixel art drawing of Dr. Elaina Brain, from The Lost Mind of Dr. Brain. A young woman with black hair and glasses and gold earrings, in a green turtleneck sweater and a lab coat. She has a neutral expression and is holding a clipboard. The background is grey. There are four small illustrations around her head: (CW from 10) a "cheese bee", Dr. Brain, a wedge of cheese clipped to wires, a yellow retracting-nib pen. It is signed and bears the caption, "Anyway here's Dr. Elaina Brain <w<"

Two art pieces submitted by @gors.bsky.social and @zerojanitor.bsky.social to our site gallery using the same palette, "adrasteia by druidbird". Same colors, different vibes! It's interesting how each artist has a way to use the colors! Thank you very much for the contribution! #rejectedpalettes

August update! #rejectedpalettes
August Update Hello, RPL fans. How was July? I hope it was an enjoyable month to you all! First of all, I wrote a new manifesto about the concept of transparency. It addresses Lospec's chronic problems about opaque way to deal with their contributors, and explains how RPL works in greater detail. For reasons explained in that text, we will now start including palettes that stay 1 week in the pending list. Because of this we added 278 palettes in July, and we received 1 new artwork by @DioShiba! We are happy to announce the return of #RandomRPL on Bluesky, which suggests a daily palette from our list. Please note that the post scheduling app has AI text generation but RPL stands against its use. Thus, I assure everyone that RPL won't use them to compose the posts. That's all so far, we'll keep updating the site with even more fun features. See ya! Gors Pixel art drawing of Homer Simpson posing as the Statue of Liberty, with a large shine engulfing the flame in the torch. Art made by DioShiba.

When they get older, the teeth widen, becoming more suited to catching marine mammals

(Update) We wrote a new document that explains how #rejectedpalettes updates the site, as well as the concept of "transparency" (being upfront about how a system works). Please read it if you have the time, since it talks about our design philosophy.
Thanks in advance.
