Description
*January edition*Hope you guys can see this ok.
One of my new year resolutions was to study and learn about pixel art (sprites).
This is a small practice to get me going.
I'm gonna aim to post up at least one pixel art every month.
I'm also working on a small RPG game project so this will be good practice for that cause were using sprites, just like the good old days ^^.
I appreciate any tips you guys can give me or point out anything i could improve on.
thanks

Ohmygod I love you. That manga is my life right there.
If...if you could pixel Rin...I would actually be in your debt. Like honestly.

haha Yea I loved the beginning of AnE. and the character designs are pretty awesome and the setting WAHH~ has this certain feeling that i love but can't explain.
(thou i think i have to mention this, I dont like the anime, i feel it didn't do the manga justice)
Yea sounds like a good idea, I'd be pretty keen to do my first fan art of Rin in pixels.
should be a good practice of flashy effects.

Ohoho I saw the oneshot and I was immediately hooked. I read and read and READ! Love it so very much.
I tried to watch the anime, but I sorta stopped. I didn't like it as much as the manga, and some of the personalities of the characters seemed off o_o;;
But ohmygoodness am I excited to see thiiisss!! //dance
