Some of the pixel art is handmade, but most is free/premade or adapted from such.
I never feel bad about using premade stuff. Look at it from the artist's point of view. True, it may not be their best work ever, maybe it's just scraps from an old game idea of their own, but they still put it out there to be seen and used. But what if no one uses it? What if no one even gives them a second look? It is still perfectly viable art that they want to see used and loved in a good way in other games.
Never feel bad about using premade stuff. Somebody made it and they want to see it used. If no one is going to use it, no one is going to make it.
There. That's my soapbox
