Bayonetta (actual) PIXEL ART

[Kosheh]

something seems

familiar here. i think for once someone took half my advice

...That doesn't look like pixel art, though, and more like just a drawing with the pencil tool in MS Paint.

I know there's a lot of people nowadays who start with "pixel-overs", which is basically the MSPaint version of tracing an image.

and then stopped reading.

Don't share traced-over official art on VGR, but for original works you'll definitely get praised and the criticism you're seeking. It DOES help drawing out your design on paper a lot, scanning it in and then drawing over it in MSPaint.
I think that's what Kelvin basically suggested.
Once again, to reiterate: you won't be praised here for showing off traced pixelarts of promotional game art, as yeah - it's the equivalent of tracing a picture and attempting to pass it off as your own IRL.

requoting one more time for emphasis

I guess it's a good start though for getting more acquainted with the tools of MSPaint...??
