Do NOT use this.
The eyes were my biggest struggle, so I ended up using the stye from "After Rain".
This is my first time creating such a large pixel and so many different pixels at once.

It relieves me to see that it took you so long to do, because it seems like a lot of people do large pixels in just three or four hours and it's like... it takes me two to four hours to do a pixel icon. Doing a large doll like this would take six or eight at least.
I'm not great at all at shading clothing on such a large piece. x_x
You make me want to do one of these for myself. :3 I don't like pixelling or drawing myself, though. I'm very plain. Do you really look/dress like that?
Indeed, I know what you mean! I normally just make the little 50x50 pixels, aside from my profile backgrounds, so this was a humongous step out of my comfort zone. But I have to get practice somehow! I figure that the more I pixel, the better I'll get at choosing colors and understanding how the Hell shading works.
I've noticed pixel artists seem to use a four or five-color shading system, so that's what I've been trying to test out. I usually use a same-hue palette, but they encourage a hue-changing palette which is... confusing...
If you do end up drawing one of these then I wish you the ultimate best of luck! If you need to use mine as a reference, it's not the best, but feel free!
Well, I have fingers and toes, but...
For the pixel, I was trying to create my persona. I don't know if this is the final version or not. I chose my favorite clothes which are long-sleeved shirts and black nylons/tights. I have a headband similar to that, but it falls more to the left at a tilt. And then I threw the skirt on for adorability's sake. I do own an outfit similar to this, except the poofy pink skirt is lacy shorts and the bow matches them. ^_^
I used to shade with a same-hue palette, but when I started this account I tried changing that up in the way you mentioned and I think it works really nicely. It was hard to get used to at first!
I didn't mean to take so long to reply. XD
Indeed! I'm trying really hard to get accustomed to it!
No, I completely understand. I try to reply to all of my comments, but I often delay my responses a few days to a week. D:
