Hakase Pixel Avatar

I am trying to learn pixel arts recently, and kinda make this avatar as my first experiment. And it turns out to be better than I expected originally xD.
Creating pixel content is a lot more different compared to the traditional workflow, every pixel changed may produce a significant impact on the overall visual and I would say that's the hardest part in the challenge. You are like walking in a mist coz the resolution is so low and everything becomes abstract.
In a nutshell, it was a wonderful experience working through this project. I learned a lot such as colour adjustments and anti-aliasing. Can't believe I actually manage to make it work and I will definitely keep on improving!
