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 ...Stfu. ------------- "I was minding my own business and walking across a pebbled path, and a Duck started giving me the business." |

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. ------------- http://hawken.dadako.com/skillset.pixel.php?page=main - my pixel page! |

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 ------------- |
