Arcade Hero is a professional pixel artist from Russia, working on the craft since early 2015. He's most well known for his smooth and colorful clustering;

"//Since I mainly draw game graphics, I don't use anti-aliasing to make things more readable. I love clean and smooth big clusters. The larger and more interesting the cluster, the better it is. I don't use dithering also. I love to draw spooky stuff and random skulls. [For palettes,] smooth transitions between colors, complementary colors, low color count, high contrasts and saturated colors.//". 

He lists Toby Dixon, a3um, Slym, Delicious, Zhi Jiang, Adarias, Hunter Russell, Henk Nieborg, Skittlefuck, Yes I Do, and Namatnieks (Nauris) as his favorite pixel artists/sources of inspiration.

Arcade is an active contributor to the Pixel Art Historical Society, and is largely responsible for its early outreach. He speaks Russian and English.
