krystal (nintendo and etc) created by nahadon
Description

Decided to try my hand at pixel art and since I was trying to get her spirit in Smash Bros, here's Krystal, from Nintendo's Starfox Adventures. Yes, I know I did not draw the arm and leg guards. When I tried them I got the sense the image got too cluttered, so I took them off. I also cut her feet off, cause I couldn't get them right (when in doubt, hide). I also did not draw the right-side tattoos because I like the idea of them being magic runes that are drawn only on one side of the body and I could not remember if they actually were symmetric. I might create some unofficial lore for the foxes of Dinosaur world, just for my own amusement, at some point.

A lot of things can still be improved, particularly the lineart part, of which I am not too proud of, especially with the staff. I know some pixel art does away with lineart entirely, but I feel it helps guide the eyes, in the more detailled images.
The background could also use more detail and the staff perspective looks bad, but I was getting tired and screwing up more than improving, so I gave it up as a lost cause. Next time will be better, I'm sure.

Hope to do more in the next months and improve some more, before trying my hand at animating these.
