I only started Pixel Art this week after watching tons of tutorials and doodeling for hours. When I came across this challenge I had the idea of a magicians hand and gave it a shot. My skills are still super low, but I hope this image meets the bare minimum quality needs... I tried my best and wasn't sure how to further improve it.
Want to give some dough back to all those amazing pixel artists? Donations provide prize money for contests, help cover hosting costs and support new initiatives.
Good entry!
