About a year or two, but I wasn't serious at all when I first started. So really my pixeling began through in depth studying and making acutal things and such maybe half a year or less ago.

Two years?

I'm only gonna contribute myself one year actually trying, because somewhere in there I vanished off the map. -Poof!- Like that.

SO! One year.

-edit-

Kwahahahaha! I give myself waaay too much credit. I started shortly before joining here, and I joined here:

22 March 2005

SO. Not even a year. And look at how awesome I am already.

...Stfu.

That's too funny. I taught my 8 year old (15 now) niece how to use photoshop with all those doll things that plaque the web. So I know all about preps, wonderkins etc.
It was then that the pixel bug bit. Been at it ever since, 99.99999999% iso.

I've been doing it for 3 years, but it was an off and on kind of hobby.
I'm getting more time into it now so I can actually make a full picture.

About 18 years on and off I reckon, did my first bit on the 8 bit Amstrad CPC 464... Theres been a year or two where I did none cos I didn't feel like it or I just didn't have the means to do so.  Still it's a damn long time and I should be much better than I am by now.  Either way I'm sorta sick of it these days...

About 5 years or so if I recall. Took a year though for me to properly get the hang of it, slow learner and too busy, but pretty much a slow learner.

Properly for 2/3 months (eg. actual pieces since i joined here)

Random, rare, icons etc for forums for 2 years or so (not really worth mentioning though). I did a few oekaki things (terrible ones) when i was about 11/12 though. So i spose i very slowly got into it, but i actually havent been doing it properly for long. Feels weird.

3 yearsish... been around more like 4 years or so, but got really serious about it a year later

it's quite funny though... I was posting some screenshots of one of my first games thinking it was pretty dang good pixel-art, but as comments started to poor in i realised how much i could improve on in pixelart.

this was the game btw - sorry for the jpgs

Man i sucked!

Got my amiga 500 and deluxe paint in 1990. However I guess it wasn't really considered pixel art back then, because thats all we had.

Since maybe 2002-2003

But it was mostly "dolls". I had a breif period of tool shading as well, so
that really didn't help my skills. :P
