It was supposed to be just another training, but I have never been a patient person. The idea was so cute that I just had to give my all on it. Too bad my all is still so little. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2026/06/Zrzut-ekranu-2026-06-19-222510.png) I have a giant problem with overcomplicating designs on my pixels. I literaly try to pixel every every minor detail, even every hairstrand. People don't do that on noral fanarts, but somehow I feel like I have to do it with only few hundret pixels... ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2026/06/Zrzut-ekranu-2026-06-19-222530.png) As you can (hopefully) see, this piece is supposed to be, slightly sided. I tried using this round lines, but it didn't help too much. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2026/06/Zrzut-ekranu-2026-06-19-222545.png) The shape of the face is so important. If you make it more round (like above) with combination of big eyes (or eye), the character will look like a baby. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2026/06/Zrzut-ekranu-2026-06-19-222602.png) Keeping it slim, will just make it look like a chibi. Also, sudden color hair change! ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2026/06/Zrzut-ekranu-2026-06-19-222633.png) Yep, this hairstyle is mostly copied from Ide's pixels. I have mixed feeling about this. On one hand, it's ok to practice something, right? It's how peopleget their “art styles”. But at the same time, I would to make something absolutely unique for my every pixel... maybe it's just not realistic, the same as perfectly reproducing designs. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2026/06/Zrzut-ekranu-2026-06-19-222644.png) Raw base for the face. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2026/06/Zrzut-ekranu-2026-06-19-223411-1.png) Just a few lighter accents, my beloved light line and shades on ears and near the hear. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2026/06/Zrzut-ekranu-2026-06-19-223442-1.png) This is what really helped me to “see” the ball, the clear light/dark line. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2026/06/Zrzut-ekranu-2026-06-19-223455.png) Now, one of the worst part of this pixel. The Rat ears... round objects drawn at an angle are the awful. To give you some perspective: script that I'm using is saving progress every 7 changes. It took 83 to get from this screen to the moment they were finished. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2026/06/Zrzut-ekranu-2026-06-19-223511.png) I still don't think I made them perfectly, but man I had no idea how to make them look better. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2026/06/Zrzut-ekranu-2026-06-19-223530.png) The rest of the body had a multitude of different forms and sizes. In the end this idea just looked cute in my head. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2026/06/Zrzut-ekranu-2026-06-19-223546.png) It was such a struggle to make the hands follow the perspective. I only knew that the right one must be smaller than the right one, and that was the end of my artistic analysys. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f0/6df020d6-b03c-4a5b-8644-7e28dcb05753/content/images/2026/06/Zrzut-ekranu-2026-06-19-223625.png) I still don't know if making them comepletly straight was the correct choice, but they looked weird too me otherwise. It's a weird one, a acombination of 3 different ideas and one hell of a mess that was the creative process. Once I even literally woke up in the middle of the night with “I GOT THIS”, and started pixeling (if you are curious, that's how I got the idea for the pose). This is the end of the "Bat training" arc (for now!). I really need to get better before trying again. That's all, apologies for inconcistant posts, I'll try to work more often. Thank you for reading, bai
