I’ve got a problem. I started making pixel art cars a few years ago and I can’t stop. At this point I’ve drawn thousands of rides, and people just keep sending me more requests. I’m too deep now, so I guess this is my life.
It started out as a simple hobby and now it takes up a lot of my time. Each one is built pixel by pixel in Adobe Illustrator, carefully placing each square until the car comes alive. Over the years I’ve drawn everything: daily drivers, sports cars, vintage classics, muscle cars, supercars. No filters, no AI, no shortcuts. Just pixels and patience.
So, what am I doing now with all the pixel cars I’ve made?
1. I Make 1-of-1 Pixel Art Illustrations & Keychains of People’s Rides
Each one is made to match the beloved bunch of metal sitting in your driveway, and you can order to have a custom one made. These make great gifts, either for yourself or for a car lover in your life. They’ve proven to make people happy as they open the gift and see their car as a pixel art miniature, looking through all the details that make their car unique.
I’ve made a lot over the years, from the usual enthusiast favorites that pop up all the time to one-off legends and some really wacky oddballs.
But they all share the same thing: each is someone’s story turned into pixels. A first car. A memory of something sold. A gift to mark a milestone.
2. I Made 300 Pixel Art Vehicles for Games
I’ve created a collection of 300 original pixel-art vehicles, all built in a consistent side-view perspective, scale and visual style. The collection is designed for developers looking for a large, cohesive vehicle library for racing games, dealership and management games, car-collecting games, automotive simulators, and other vehicle-focused projects.
Each vehicle includes a suggested fictional name, continent of origin and approximate era, allowing the collection to be used as the foundation for a game’s own fictional automotive universe.
If you’re a game development studio looking for automotive pixel art assets, contact me at hello[at]pxlcrs[dot]com to preview the whole collection. I can also work directly with development teams on additional vehicles, modifications, variations and project-specific adaptations.
If you don’t need the complete collection, you can purchase a smaller pack of 50 or 100 cars, selected from the full collection. Both packs include a non-exclusive commercial license and are available for immediate purchase through my Gumroad profile.
3. You Can Hire Me for Your Pixel Art Project
If you have any commercial ideas that could make use of pixel art vehicle assets, you can hire me to work with you, whether you’re building a game, launching merch, or creating collectibles for an NFT project or something similar.
