@adarius 

thanks for the feedback. For the next upload I'll try to clean up my pixel work, maybe even add some subtle dithering and aliasing in areas. I think my problem stems from rushing it and skipping the cleanup stage. One could almost say this looks like a WIP from the contest boards. Still, each new piece is a learning process.

I just got Asesprite so it has motivated me to do more refined work.

The gradient was hand placed, but I could have cleaned it up a bit, sure.

@Delicious I would say it is at least borderline pixel art considering I literally placed almost every pixel by hand (Apart from block fills etc). Very rough, though.

 Reminds me of the Meltrandi in Macross: Do You Remember Love?

 Thanks for the link and feedback. :)
