Description
Hmm, besides my avatars, this is the first time we get to see a pixel deviation of Niho!
This is actually the default set of cels you can put together in the Niho KiSS doll I'm currently working on! So besides my current dizzy spells, this project is the other reason why I suddenly slowed down on my submissions! A KiSS doll always takes a lot of work!
Not absolutely sure that it belongs in "pixel art", because the lineart was outlined using a scanned image as a "sketch" to "ink" pixel-by-pixel. But the cross-shading work here was done manually to make it look smooth (if you zoom in this pic, you'll see what I mean)!
Tsk-tsk, starting on yet another project while still doing a fanfic project! I'll never learn!

This is a great pixel art. The coloring on this is so smooth.

I got used to shading in pixels when I was still making KiSS sets!

How do you do that?! THATS AMAZING! To me, at least. I can't even draw a simple circle with a mouse

I use a scanner to get a sketch onto the PC. Then it's just a matter of tracing the outline using a line tool, then filling it in and shading it pixel by pixel.

Glad you think so too! That's why I love to draw her! She's definitely one of my current faves among my original characters!

Another kiss doll? Gimme! One of the tools won't work on XP for me so I need to use yours XD I reckon yours are the best The art fits well.
Now, for a first try on pixel art this is great! Don't worrky, using a sketch is fine it's all about the colouring... same with digi art! The shading is great, really smooth and slick but there could be more on the socks. Don't neglect little details like rumples no matter how sweet and simple the style, it would look better in this case. The hair is AWSOME, the shine is in just the right place and although there could be more at the back of the hair it's fine as it is. The ears too!
A well deserved
And I'm sorry I'm late, I was in a no comment mood for weeks

Well, this isn't exactly the first time I got into pixel art. I've already got some experiece at working on pics like these in my earlier dolls! This is just the first time I decided to submit this as pixel art and not oekaki!
I could introduce some rumples on the other clothes I'll make for her. This default dress is meant to look very simple, PPG-esque in a way. But I dunno, I only draw wrinkles on clothes when it's absolutely necessary. My style is a very simplified hybrid toon/anime style, and I'm satisfied with what I come up with!

Ah, I see! But yesah, a few more wrinkles on some of your other works would be good, you don't need it here really. Anyways you're a lot better than me

I had a little help from the scanner, pero lahat ng pixels dito hanggang sa shading, manual ang pagkakagawa!

YAY! A new Jdan KiSS doll!
Two quick questions:
1) Can I put your Lilo doll on my KiSS site?
2) Can I make an expansion for you Lilo doll? It's mostly for my little brother (he loves that doll) but I figured I'd ask since I'd probably want to put it on my site and it's your doll.
I'd credit you for the doll, of course. n_n

For both questions: yes. It's alright as long as you credit me!
Y'know, I never tried making an expansion before. I dunno how to, but I think it could be fun if the base doll has a lot of potential the first time around!

It's easy! I'll write up how to do it and note you the details.

Well, it'll most probably take a long while. I haven't even finished conceptualizing the clothes I wanna draw!
Oh well, whenever there's a small wardrobe, I can always make up for it by adding more doll features!

it's always different when it comes to full-view and a preview. The small preview of it always compresses the pic.
^^ I guess pixels are great for all-round gifs... especially avatars.
@D@' cute buggy-eyez......

Yeah, the blurring happens when I submit big pixel art pieces and they make a JPEG preview. But it loks like this one's small enough to be shown in full as it is!
Pixel art is what works for me when I have to animate certain elements! To tell the truth, this was supposed to be a blinking GIF, rather than a still PNG! But I wasn't too satisfied with the blinking animation at the time! The finished KiSS doll will have blinking and probably some other animations, like a short opening!

Well, yeah, this definitely can't be used. But I've also come up with animated, sprite-sized pics of Niho before this pic! She's always animated in my avatar!
What I meant was this is the first time I made a bigger and deviation-quality pixel pic of Niho!
