My first serious pixelart attempt was made for a game concept thread on Gamingw.net. It's a standard Mario-esque platformer as small as I could get it. Here I introduced myself to shading the sky.

There is a game for DS and Wii called "Drawn to Life" where you draw your hero and many things within the environment, using the stylus/wiimote or pixel-by-pixel. This is my first and current hero, Vectorman, drawn from the Genesis classic. Note that in Drawn to Life, you are limited to 25 colors on the preset palette you choose, this one had 3 shades of greenish.



Please consult the following image for comparison.

Only seen at night time, and while it's raining, this piece of art you draw is totally useless in the game. But I didn't know it at the time so I spent a great deal to make it look good.
