Wow, the deapth with those limited colors, unreal--that is to say, it looks real.

I also spent weeks just practicing, reading tutorials, and admiring PJ before I submitted my first piece.

Thanks! I'm sure my sloppiness will show when I start taking on more daring and challenging pieces. I struggle especially with convincing anatomy and stances.

Normally those new to pixel pushing are naturally sloppy. You show more control than is normal for being new. That's great!

Thank you! New to PJ, and relatively new to pixel art, although I have been drawing for a while.

Quite nice and restrained pixelling.
Are you new to pixelart or just new to PJ?

I mean, it's not my bush. But I can certainly ask 

Thanks, I thought so too!

Can I have one to give to my girl?

Ooohh pretty

Thank you kind sir! Just a pixeling noobie over-excited and seeing potential in everything.

I admire your realistic portrayal of mundane things. It's refreshing
