I obviously had to omit some of the finer details: the collar, the cigarette, the hand, but I'm satisfied with the result.

And not to be picky, daniel, but your "8-bit" avatar isn't really 8-bit. 8-bit sprites are limited to 5 colors.

Changed my avatar to it now, it does indeed look better. Just gotta wait a while for it to change now.

It's freeware you can get, it's brilliant. You can find more about paint.net at... uh, I forgot the website name.

Haha did you watch a tutorial on how to make your picture 8-bit or something?

[Richard Longflop]

[QUOTE=IndieGamer;34930211]Haha did you watch a tutorial on how to make your picture 8-bit or something?[/QUOTE]

Not really. I made my minecraft skin, then decided to make a texture pack. Afterwards I decided to do something different like some pixel art of guns, then I realised that I'm not shit at it. Besides, it's not that hard if you have a reference.
