Wow, finally have this thing done.

This general concept was inspired by a few TCG pixel overs by Kymotonian / Kyledove. Also inspired by a couple other DeviantART users who followed along with the concept--Diggeh and 44tim44.

This took me a little while. However, the only thing that's really a direct pixel over was the Torchic itself--everything else was just heavily referenced off of. Not much of a difference between the two, no, but I just thought I'd mention that.

Despite being rather tedious, this little guy was pretty fun. I may end up doing more. Dithering in this was heavily used due to the fact that, compared to its counterpart, this was very small; I also wanted to limit my colors as much as I could (even though there's still quite a few, but that was a tidbit inevitable, in my case), therefore, dithering was used moreso than I would usually use it to effectively blend the colors together. It was really only used on surfaces that are more likely to have a ruffled texture, though, such as the trees, grass, and Torchic's fluff (feathers. Hey, baby chickens don't actually grow their feathers until they become older, so...yeah.). I really need to try to get rid of some of it, though, because in certain areas it is rather overly-excessive. *goes to do that*

I must admit that I have recently fell in love with Kouki Saitou's TCG artwork, after looking through several different pieces of art he made for the TCG cards. It made me realize, "Damn. I've always loved this guy's artwork for the TCG cards, but now I completely respect this dude. XD"
