Well, everyone else isdoing it; obviously that means I should do it too...

Seriously, though, making this was a whole lot of fun. Lots, lots, lots of fun. And my first try at pixel art. I think it came out alright, considering.

And the picture used for the portrait? See that hand? I am insanely proud of that had for two reasons, even if it has problems: One, I cant draw anything from scratch on the computer using a mouse; I have to have some sort of sketch on paper scanned in to work from. And two, I can't draw hands, period. But I drew that hand from scratch on the computer using a mouse, so I'm very happy that it is even recognisable as said appendage.
