An "iconer" is someone who draws the in game graphics and a "mapper" is someone who creates the games maps.

The "proper" term for a iconer is "Pixel Artist."

Coder/programmer guy/girl who creates the backend of the game
Pixel artist is the person who takes pixels and uses them to create the actual Icons which at that point are not in map form
thats the mappers job He/she sees how the enviroment should be and uses the icons to make the map
Kind of like a puzzle
so
Programmer he creates the foundation then smushes it together with the Puzzle in order to make a working world
Pixel Artist Puzzle piece maker

What about us graphics artists? I think the proper term would be "Artist". Pixel art is a more specific kind of graphics.

Pfft, I don't want people getting me confused with other artists. And I'm to lazy to coin a term for the art of making bad posts. So lets just call you guys digital graphics artists.
