It says it takes the director about a week to trace and make the stuff for 1 character, so I supposed a single frame, especially seeing how a rough character takes them 3 days and a finished full one 6 months+.
Maybe he just traces all the frames needed in one week and has other people finishing them for half a year *shrugs*.
They don't really go too deep in the process explanation.

Feel free to participate in the current one (see banners up there) or any already existing one here: http://www.wayofthepixel.net/pixelation/index.php?board=16.0
But I suppose we'll put more in the future.

Anyway we should put an activity soon, but right now I'm pretty busy... so perhaps in a week or two, unless another mod decides to do so before.

Probably in the future, but not any time soon.
Perhaps in like 6~10 months.

I don't know... don't think about anything else and just try to have fun.
When you are having fun, you tend to give better results (and well... since you are enjoying it, it is a win-win situation ).

Also forget about other people's expectations, as you don't have to impress anyone. Just go wild and let the pixels flow.
As corny as it might have sounded, getting that weight off your shoulders makes it easier.

And just keep at it, post here for receiving criticism, challenge yourself, work on projects you like, etc.
But mainly keep at it, because if you have the passion for it, everything will start clicking together eventually.

And uuuh, I started pixelling when I was 16-ish, so that makes it 5 years at it.

Some explanation for this would be good:
