although rarely spoken of, the Gateway series by Legend Entertainment - re-imaginings of Fred Pohl's books of the same name - have some of the most gorgeous high-res art i have ever seen in the ms-dos era
while some scenes are almost monochromatic looking, each painting make subtle use of all 256 colours in the palette; each scene has a completely different palette.
a close examination of each illustration reveals non-algorithmic dithering all painted pixel by pixel. each scene is truly a digital pixel art piece, and not a de-res'd scan of physical art.
these scenes are from Homeworld II.
