I'm an aspiring game programmer and designer and I also love pixel art. Most of my creations you'll see will be really simple and small because I try not to worry about too many details with pixel art as I'm already somewhat of a perfectionist at heart.
I was just scribbling and noticed my scribbles almost resembled someone with glasses so I cleaned it up and gave it color and it turned into a yellow-skinned bald guy with glasses and a 5-o'clock shadow XD
