you guys are awfully dramatic   i think its a solid piece that could easily have been in any number of PC games throughout my childhood.  i'm a bit of a noob still, but i do believe that selout has a place in most pixel art, however this piece doesn't really use selout as much as just plain outlining; softening the edge of the bathing suit/bra thing, especially the upper/inside edge, would help a lot i think.  she is awfully skinny too   style is as style does, but she just doesn't look healthy!

the color mixing on the jacket is really beautiful, and something i am just beginning to contemplate in my own pixelart - i appreciate you posting this picture even though "it should be destroyed" - just because you have learned all there is to learn from it doesn't mean we all have!
