Hi, I'm new to the site and I wanted to post some of my pixel artworks.
(http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2010/240/5/6/brainy_octopus_pixelated_by_redcodefinal-d2xg359.png)
The above was a redo of another vector piece I did.

Next some Avatars I did. The first two are redos, the last one is original.

Whats wrong with using gradients. Sorry I'm new to the whole pixel art thing. What would you suggest I use instead of a gradient?

dithering (if u don't know wat that is, look it up. theres great tutorials for it)
gradients look unnatural, and can easily be redone. in this case it doesn't look bad, but in other cases it will.  :D

Oh. I have used dithering before. I just felt it would be hard to do dithering here plus, I was feeling mighty lazy.
