How this list was compiled: Our own pixel pictures, drawn square by square for this site on 12 by 12 and 24 by 24 grids in October 2026. Nothing is traced, scanned or copied from clip art, and no picture shows a brand, a logo or a character from a film, show, book or game. No mermaid, palace or trident here is taken from a film, a show or a book: the two mermaids are our own, one with black hair and a purple tail, one with yellow hair and a blue tail. The fact in the Mermaid on a rock, Conch shell and Trident descriptions was checked against Wikipedia in October 2026, and the color and square counts were counted from the finished grids.
