A downloadable pixel art project

I'm a bit late to the party regarding Microsoft Solitaire's 30 year anniversary, but consider this less of a Solitaire tribute, and more of a tribute to Susan Kare and Leslie Kooy.

One of the main reasons I started doing pixel art in the first place was because of my fascination with computer icons and UI interfaces, which I made plenty of in my first years as an amateur pixel artist. Since then I've done hundreds and hundreds of pixel art works, but I always remember my roots, drawing pixel art on Microsoft Paint using the basic 16 color Windows palette, trying to imitate the style of the operating systems and video games I had seen.

I've always been a fan of the artwork for Solitaire, so I wanted to revisit these assets and use my pixel art skillz to upscale them, trying to preserve the art style and composition of the original works, including most of the palette when possible, but also give them some of my own personality and style.

I don't think these serve any kind of practical use, but maybe you will like them as much as I enjoyed making them. They took about three days to complete, which is a lot considering most of my pixel art work takes about 6 hours at most.

The red robot, the beach, the coral fish. Iconic is the word. Brings me back. Thanks for this.
