Love the shading in the eyes.

Actually I used E. Honda's skin tones for Trump and Guile's skin tones for Biden.

Sorry, I agree with you.

Thanks, appreciate your kind words!

You are 100% right, I had only a few hours to make this and it was 3am when I was finishing this up: I couldn't get that damn hair right! So I had to choose between sleeping and perfecting his hair, and I went for the weak option...

Sorry! 

'Combustion' started playing in my head when I saw this, so that means you did an outstanding job 

Sorry for the late reply, but I would just advise to go for it! You can keep telling yourself you're not good enough yet but that way you'll probably keep telling yourself that month after month (like I did) and it never gets done. Your work doesn't have to be pixel-perfect imo, only other pixel artists care about that. :^) Clients usually don't look at every individual pixel like we tend to do (this is not meant as an excuse to hand out sloppy work).
It's good to have a high quality standard, but don't lose yourself in perfectionism. I still tend to do this though and waste a whole week on a piece that could've been finished in a day...

Regarding commissions, I luckily had a few friends who wanted to kickstart my journey, but aside from that I just post stuff on reddit/twitter/pixeljoint forum and link to my website where possible. Make some stuff for people with an audience, and/or reach out to them, and you might get a response or even an order from them. You do need some luck to reach the right people at the right time, but if you don't post anything you'll never reach them anyway. Think of that Gretzky quote, "you miss 100% of the shots you don't take". ;)

TL;DR Go for it!

Thank you! I hope so too, I'm already getting some paid commissions and gigs so the future is hopeful. :)

Thank you! And I love Quake as well, even Quake Champions :^)

I agree, 90's games were a blast! And thanks, as a newbie I still tend to overuse dithering but I'm glad you think it worked out well in this instance
