This was just for fun. It's a simple Lucy Liu. I went for an abstract color choice (Purple Pink Peach, three P's), and that didn't go so well in the legs or even arms. I used my texture technique with her clothes for fun, also.

There's a trend online to take pornography and edit over it in MSPaint to make [intentionally laughable-looking] SFW contexts. That's the impression I get from this piece, from the contrast of the superflat clothing against the extreme gradiation on the body. This is the kind of attempt at rendering that justifies banding in pixelart. There's another, possibly unintentional contrast - the realistic proportion of the face against the simplified shoulder, limbs and hand.
I have to assume this artist improved in rendering and understanding anatomy, but a couple years after this submission they seem to have abandoned art entirely - this account stops around the 2007 mark, the linked website is a 404, the DA account stripped of all art but a 2007 placeholder. I ask "What happened to this person?" and come away realising they're simply one out of thousands.
While it looks like you were honest about shading the skin and face, the clothing patterns are altogether flat looking and look like they were just dropped in. Don't mean to discourage you from learning pixel art, but you have to get used to the demands of pushing and spend more time on a work.
