So I was looking through my desk drawer last night, and was wondering what to do with it. Nothing came to mind, so I shelved the question for later. Later on I was browsing the net and came across this: Megaman Quilt. Suddenly, the graph paper thing clicked. I'm hand drawing pixel art. I want to draw skullskullskullskull from current gen games, as 8-Bit renders on graph paper. That sounded a bit hard, so I started small, and wound up using the quilt as a reference to draw this:


Nothing really impressive, just copying an image down to paper. Next, I decided to try something more difficult. I wanted to do Hero from Lufia and the Fortress of Doom.

16-Bit reference, next to my 8-Bit render.


And, the hand-drawn version:


At a friend's suggestion, now that I'm comfortable in a 16-Bit space, I'm going to take on something complicated, like Terra in her Magitek Armor.
