Ran out of electric insecticide. I wonder if the place I got recharges from has reopened from the coronavirus (it's a hypermarket(?) in a commercial center after all, complicated case)

Supermarket, self service shop with a large variety of products If not a supermarket, you could of meant a mall.
Draw one where the head belongs to gamagaeru's avatar
You'll need to update your link on the last page to point to my old pic. (IMG:[i.imgur.com] https://i.imgur.com/wLT9g2p.png) Here ya go.
I'll keep working on fixing up this one because I still think it has potential and is more unique than the one I just switched to. Update: I might actually prefer this one, it's an older draft I made. in a different draft I went the opposite direction though. I don't think I like this as much but I also didn't polish it as much. (IMG:[i.imgur.com] https://i.imgur.com/jQMyctR.png) Thoughts? And now for something completely the same:

Somehow this is reminding me of Nichijou when the characters alternate crazy expressions (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
Regarding insecticide, it is this: If it's effective on both fly and mosquitoes, hopefully it would work on pretty much any flying thing a non-entomologist like me put in same category.
My favorite is the 1st one, ofc The hood in the 3rd one is awkwardly shaped In the 4th, I like how the chest was open, not as much as the baby face and bald neck
Needs more depth of value. Are you basing it off a gridsheet or freehanding?
Free-handing for larger stuff, but then I usually go back and do pixel pushing to clean things up a bit. My old profile pic (which I still like) was almost entirely "pixel-pushed." That's easier at low resolutions. (IMG:[i.imgur.com] https://i.imgur.com/huRKYBI.png) That's actually a cropped version of the full thing, but I like it most. And the depth issue is partially due to Amiga limitations (32 colors, plus the same colors at half intensities) and partially due to my desires to give things the aesthetics of even more limited systems. I am drawing these on a computer from around 1987, expanded to 2MB of RAM. The current profile would be renderable on a NES/Famicom if the background were also black. It's also a very early draft that I just got pushed into sharing early. The criticism is valid though and i am thankful for the suggestions.

That new one's way cute, it has eyelashes. I like the way you cropped it for the avatar. Keep it, Democrat.
My current profile pic? Or this one? Assuming current pic since you mentioned the cropping, but here's the other. I agree, although I think both of these two are cute in their own ways. And I can hardly refer to myself as a democrat since they're afraid to touch the word 'socialism' with a 50-foot pole.
BTW, that last picture was actually originally drawn in pencil in a notebook and then scanned, traced on a digitizer with a stylus, downscaled, and finally traced over again in individual pixels to correct for the downscaling. Of course, I used gimp for this one because it has layers unlike Deluxe Paint. Wrought with little problems of course but I drew it on graphing paper so whatever.
Lol, looking back at this I think I elongated the neck at some point while tracing the pixel art.

I figured the graph paper would be 1:1 square to pixel. While it can be used to freehand like that and is a godsend when it comes to perspective, foreshortening, composition, and proportion, if you're truly doing "pixel art" and not "I only have MSPaint" art (I know it's an Amiga, I'm making a point) it would help to start thinking of the graph paper more like a pixel grid.
(wip) Original DeluxePaint 'canvas' I drew it on on my Amiga:
I think the neck is the part i messed up the most tbh. Head's a bit big too relative to torso.
Updated profile pic, had to redraw some of that for 100x100 and also crop. I'd been thinking about changing it for a week or so. Thanks for the push.
I draw my own pixel art, for better or worse.
I actually like that one better. It's more aesthetically pleasing with the neotenous proportions. As far as my avatar, it's actually made in MSPaint. My sig with the caricature of my wife was done with Photoshop CS6 and I cheated using a Wacom pen tablet.
