I made pixel art portraits of Applejack and Pinkie

[Pix3M 607]

 

Eeyup.

 

They are meant to be used as avatars, so I made several different sizes from 150x150, 100x100, 75x75, and 50x50. Their dA page also provides a download link for them if anyone needs the resizes that I made.

I envy your shading skills, especially on the hair. Great job!

[Illusion 100]

Oooo they both look so awesome! Amazing job there!

[Dusty Soul 2,611]

These are amazing!

[Haven Celestii 9,385]

These are really good!

Pinkie Pie looks adorable as ever!

[Satsuki Kiryuin 1,155]

It looks so cool! I love the shading on it, it's like an old video game.^^

[My little pwny 1,392]

Dang, if MLP:FiM used pixels instead of vectors (*gasp!*), that's what they would look like!

[FlareChaser0096 142]

Everything is wonderful, and Pinkie's curls look beautiful! =D curls are difficult in all mediums

[BuckeyeBrony 21]

These are really amazing! Please share if you make more.

Who uses pixel art for large-scale animations though?

 

Here's a fun thought... These images are 100x100 by size, totaling 10,000 pixels in the entire image. They take hours to make. Imagine doing HD stuff which probably has more or less 1.4 million pixels in one frame, and on top of that, you would want a 20 minute animation at around 24 fps so that's about... 40 billion pixels to juggle. If a 10,000 pixel image takes hours, imagine 40 billion pixels, and not only that, but you also want the frames to smoothly transition to each other!

Mind=blown. I'm going to stick with traditional, non-technological media.

Keep in mind that when working with bigger pieces with regular-ol' digital paintings, you can just use a bigger brush to cover more area. Pixel art is very different as it's a digital medium that takes advantage of the smallest element of the computer screen (thus achieving a quality on the computer screen that no other medium can compete with), so one does not simply use a bigger 'brush' with pixel art.

Thats somewhere around 1000 years, depending on how many hours you actually spent on this (100x100). However, it's awesome, I especially like the eye-gradient!

I'm a traditional gal, but I have much respect for all mediums- I am technologically challenged and it took me two hours to figure out how to upload an avatar xD Digital art is something I admire, something that takes a heck of a lot of time and skill... but I'll probably fail if I do get around to trying it.

ummmm, it was just a compliment but ok

[Twiliscael 3,960]

I love this.

Needs more Rainbow Dash though.

[Alpha Centauri 169]

0_0 THOSE ARE AWESOME, well done

[InfinityWhale 771]

I really like them.

 

I don't want to be "that guy" on the internet, but do you take requests?

[Pix3M 607]

No. I take RL money commissions. Those things were merely practice as I want to make ones for the main six for practice before I go offering commissions again.

[Jokuc 8,173]

Yay Pinkie Pie! Awesome Pix, I love your work

[Sepia-chan 495]

Amazing! Do you take requests?

[Azura 1,107]

I can't wait for you to finish the Mane 6, then I'd like you to create one for Cloud Chaser.

[Pix3M 607]

Requests? No. I'll get too many requests piled on top of me if I took them.

[InfinityWhale 771]

I would be happy to make a comission, but I have no idea how to transfer the money. I have a bank account, but no Paypal, credit card, or debit card.
