There are some changes I need to do, some things to add, but so far I am pretty pleased with it. Inspired by Vegeta's drawing, I did this one. Give me time, and I shall post the final image :)
 
Woah, nice work so far. Looks very nice with the perspective.

Are you going to smooth out stuff? Anti aliasing if I may call it that? You can tell already that it'll look kinda sloppy unless you do. Your choice though, it's a lot of work. I can give you some tips if you want.
 
me likes, how did you do that, is there a computer tracing method?
 
Pretty good... I don't have the patience for paint or pixelart.
 
It looks ok so far. My only question is why bother to make it with paint when there are other drawing programs out there with which you could make this faster and a whole lot better...
 
Considering he probably used his mouse for the whole thing, he must have a steady hand. Looks pretty awesome to me for that reason.

Generally the reason goes along the lines of 'to prove he can'.
 
Ok, i'll spill the beans. I downloaded this transparacy thing, so I traced around using the line tool on Paint. It may sound easy, but still, its pretty hard to do. I know there are other drawings programs I could use, but Paint is simple for someone like me. For Photoshop, I don't understand all kinds of things like layers and that. Too confusing for now.

I remember some of you guys doubted me in SC chat that I was going to do it, so there's the proof :P

I'm currently adding more, so give me time. Thanks for your comments! :D
 
There are some problems I'm having though, such as trees and people. And maybe Breen's face.

Any advice?
 
Simplify, You don't need to draw everything precisely, just imply details here and there

For Breen's face you may as well use the combine symbol or something instead,tracing it in mspaint is bound to look pretty bad however you attempt it
 
You don't seem very prepared for much of this do you :P

You've got the actual image right in front of you, all you have to do is block in basic colors over the people, than add the proper shading and details, it'll look all right if you know what you're doing.

Refer to my first post. I don't think this is going to look so great because you don't seem very experienced with pixel art. The ability to draw something in a limited amount of space is where the skill comes in.
 
I only started it as a little being bored thing, but I wish to finish it. I just wanted to draw something.
 
This will turn out to be a cool vector like pic. Continue working on it..
Will you be adding colour?
 
If you continue simply outlining everything in black it's going to get very messy and indecypherable in the background.

Like I said this is a lot tougher to do than it seems at first.

I'm determined to do it!
 
With Breens face you could just use lines, like scan lines on a tv or something, and just change the colour of the line to what it should be? That probably didnt make much sense, just imagine scan lines over Breens face and draw those? :P
