Heh, thank you! Part of me likes the thought of actually making dragon 'adoptables' or virtual pet things, though I end up getting intimidated by all the work it would require! Pfft.

*late* cool, it looks really neat.
Pixel is so time consuming, lol. That's pretty much the only reason I don't do it.

I may! If I have enough pixel-art motivation to do so, though I'll probably go through CHARACTER things of mine first maybe. IT ALL DEPENDS! I may even do some animated ones sometime...
And uh, thanks for the comment and stuff!

I just copied and pasted this into Photoshop so then I could properly appreciate the detail, and OOH! It is RATHER detailed indeed!
And I'm actually looking for any "flaws" or ways in which is could be "improved", but can find none! Everything seems so... well, I don't want to use the word "perfect" because I don't really use that word, but, uh, it comes to mind anyway! o_O
Everything just fits together so well though and nothing looks odd or 'wrong' about it.
I'm curious about how exactly you do these though... like, how much of it is actually done pixel-by-pixel and how much is done like... with a larger brush to get different shades... I'm also curious as to whether you draw a sketch bigger first and shrink it or something...
It makes me want to try something like this myself though! But you're so GOOD at these (as I have said before at you!) that I don't think I'd be able to, uh, do anything near as good! Yes! o_O
(OH, wait... There's the hands! They're not very detailed! YOU TOTALLY NEED TO DO BETTER NEXT TIME WITH THE HANDS. There. Yes. o_O)

You're right!! I should make those hands BIGGER so I can DETAIL them better! In fact, I should just remake the whole sprite as A VERY DETAILED HAND!
But uh... as much sense it would make for me to sketch something larger and then shrink it... the image has never actually been larger than 100x100 PIXEMULS. And after the sketch, I like... outlined it once roughlyish with the PENCIL TOOL and then went over it again... betterly. Also, the only time I used a larger-than-one-pixel brush was when I was BASELY COLOURING IT! So yes. And I REALLY can't concentrate because my sister is playing STOOPID music SOMEWHERE in the house loud enough for my hearing pleasure AND she's singing to it and AAAHHHGHHGHGHH!!!! DARE I PUT A STOP TO IT?! IF I DON'T, I'LL EXPLODE!!! o_O

I am awed moreso knowing that you didn't do a bigger sketch and that you did all that loverly shading with just a 1-pixel brush! o_O
I mean... I've done pixel things before (or TRIED to at least) and I'd never be able to get shading like that!
Maybe I should like... PRACTICE... Or is that practise...? Or practize!?
Oh! But how long did this TAKE though? Ages, or NOT ages? o_O

UHHHmmm... WELL I WAS WORKING ON IT WHILE TALKING TO YOU so uh... AN HOUR OR TWO?! Something like that. o_O
PRACTISCE!!
