"You are feeling 16-bit."

Greetings again everyone! This week we're back with a simple yet effective piece. As we can see, it's myself, naked, and hypnotized by a shiny coin with a bit of drool action going on. Though as you can see, the thing that stands out about this picture is that it's some beautiful pixel art here. Can you by any chance tell who the artist is just by looking at it?

 Well, I'll reveal it here: The artist is the always amazing Zko! Yeah, despite him being a solid artist, it turns out he's super good at pixel art too. Though those of you who have seen his art work nowadays probably know this. Some of his most well known works are his pixel animations. At the time however, Zko hadn't really done any pixel at all. In fact, the reason why this picture even exists in the first place is because Zko wanted to practice doing a pixel project and asked if he could use me as the model.

Naturally I'd never turn down and offer like that, and in the end we got this simple, yet ever awesome picture. There's something about pixel art that always appeals to me, maybe because I grew up on pixel art games or something, but I think having a well done pixel art picture just feels awesome. I even like how he didn't miss the detail of adding my belly button piercing and even got my hair style somewhat accurate.

In the future, Zko would go on to make far more elaborate pictures and animations using this medium, as I've mentioned earlier. Some of which will be showing up in this blog at some point in the future too, so look forward to it! And as a last bit of credit, the name of this post comes from a comment made by Mindwipe on the Hub. I found it amusing, and as you may know, I suck with titles anyways.
