Hello, Proto
Hmm... with my particular skill set, I'm incapable of making a body for my head.
So it looks like I need to look for an artist of some sort.

Perhaps I will wait for a free piece.

Examples are always an option. Find what you can learn from free pieces if you want, that could give insight on how to make it yourself.

Apologies if I'm a little preachy, I just like giving artistic advice :D

It's cool, but pixel is a little different from analogue.
I just don't have the ability to look at a blank slate and put what is in my head on there.
It's super abstract for me.

*EDIT* Maybe I just need to bite the bullet and go through the trials, you know?
If it takes me weeks, months... one pixel at a time...

Hello, Proto
I can't draw for crap. But I can write pretty decent
Writing is my number one artistic talent with making electronic music a pretty far second.
Drawing? Nah.
I can manipulate images just fine but making works from scratch is an ordeal.

Pixel art governed numerically and not just by sight, so I see they can have differences.

And go for it! I wasn't able to draw a person until 2 years after I began drawing but I decided to commit to it despite how much I disliked it. It was like learning how to draw from the beginning, and it was rather embarrassing.
 

Aika the manokit

Adorable fisherman
Something I wrote on a vix n dwnq vid

Figures dancing in the mist
Hearts clenched in fearful fists
Freaka giggles in sheer delight
Twisting in the pale moonlight
With the knowledge she brought the fright
All upon a spooky, furry night

This actually got a like from vix herself!

It's not programming art, but pixel art forces you to find different ways to make detail with the size of the pixels and minimal image space.
Though since I'm using GIMP, it's purely stylistic and all limits are self-imposed.

I didn't mean programming. The way I see pixel art is getting all of the measurements and angles down exact because there isn't a lot of room for misplacing details, because as you said there is a minimal image space and each pixel accounts for a larger fraction of the total area.

Ah, alright.
Yeah I see what you mean.
