    Hey awesome people.

    Pixel art is one of my favourite past-times so the new avatar system on TA is amazing for me! Problem is, I can only have one at a time and I really want to make some more so if anyone wants a pixelated pic done for them then PM me or post here and I'll get on to it as soon as possible.

    I seriously love doing it, so you're not putting me out. It can be anything you want; an existing sprite, reworking something into 8-bit or original work. Just give me an idea or example picture and I'll try and do something reasonable.

    I made the Howl's Moving Castle in the link in my signature if that helps give an idea of how it could look, though obviously there are size constraints.

    Anyway, cheers guys, hope I can help. I honestly will enjoy doing it for you :)

    That's some really beautiful work. I love pixel landscapes/cityscapes. I wish I could think of something to ask you... but really, wow.

    Oh jeez, erm, thank you :) I'm rubbish at receiving compliments lol, I generally hate everything I draw/create, it winds my wife up something rotten.

    That was my first attempt at pixel art, God knows why I thought it would be a good idea to start on something so huge! Now I'm addicted though, which is why I'm offering to do avatars lol. If you think of something, let me know :)

    Didn't try yet. But according to writing this may be beautiful.

    Haha, amazing! I really was expecting to be left here like a lemon with no requests.

    I'll get a Hobbes done (awesome choice, really looking forward to that!) as soon as possible and I have two more requests in the meantime. If people are OK with waiting then keep the requests coming by all means, I love making these :D

    Of course, as long as they pass JBRUU's certification process!

    Do you think you could do a pixel Silver Surfer, with his board up enough to show a TA logo on the bottom? And some kind of space in the background? Or any combination of those elements and wherever your creativity may take you? Thanks!

    Of course! I'm a huge comic nerd so that'll be my pleasure :D

    For people that have more "vague" ideas of what they want, if you could link to a picture that shows what kind of style or character you'd want it done in that would be great. I have zero confidence in this lol, so I over-think things and worry that I'll let you down :p

    I won't be offended at all if you don't want to use the avatar, so please don't feel obliged - I love doing this, you're just giving me an excuse to have fun!

    Plus check Primoz's thread for all non-pixelly avatar-based needs. They're doing an awesome job creating avatars too and I feel super guilty for stealing his idea of offering!
