Since it wasn't immediately obvious to me when I first looked, freepixel.art / freepixelart.itch.io is AI slop, not actual pixel art produced by humans.

There are loads of assets created by actual artists on places like itch.io and opengameart.org. Search the #PixelArt and #ドット絵 tags to find lots of artists here on Mastodon!

@Taffer in general, you have to be very careful about AI slop on itch.io these days, it's easily half of all new assets.

Fortunately, AI usage disclosure is now required for all game assets so look in the product details.
