I love voxel art. There's a quality to it that tickles several brain spots at once. I've been playing around with the 100% free MagicaVoxel for the last couple months, just for fun. Highly recommended to anyone interested in taking a crack at making some (digital) voxel art. Seeing that stuff translated to physical paintings in perspective is also immensely satisfying - I'd love to have prints of these in my environment.
