    What's the fewest number of pixels you can recognizably represent each of the 6 (7) races in?

    On Bartwe's stream he's got a little animated version of himself that looks about 16x16 at most (might even be 8x8?), and is a great representation of him: little flying pony tail and everything. Who did that one? ;)

    Pretty sure the smallest would be 6x4 pixels, but I dunno, I'll give it a sprite and see what I can come up with.

    Extremely hard to see. All races look like eachother from a distance due to shape/colour.

    Except Glitch and Hylotl, that is.

    This icon is 32 x 32, based off the reddit flair (which I think is smaller) I'm sure I could remove the box and shave off 6 px or so. Smaller than that I don't know if an outsider would recognize it was Starbound-related.

    I'll take a crack at it when I can roll up my sleeves in Photoshop.

    1, if it's green it's most likely a Floran.

    What about Novakid?

    Is this meant to be a symbol or a small image of the race itself? Could just make a feather, cog, leaf, banana, fish/sashimi, sun, and a pinkish hand to represent each of the seven races.

    I attempted to make a facial portrait of a floran at 10x10 pixels, it turned out like this.

    At the end of the day, you've got to hand it to Alucard for being so creative. That said, I reckon a 2 x 3 pixel rectangle would be as small as you could go. The right column of three represents the head, torso and legs. Left column for "flair" decals to emphasise each race based on their general appearances (I guess if that's the case, then a 1 x 3 column would suffice, flair omitted)

    Just draw a leaf, a feather, an exagon nut, a banana, an energy beam, three eyes and a crappy simbol for humans

    Something a bit like this, perhaps?

    EDIT: Got the entire crew made now.
