From Sprite to Artwork 01

I'm alive !
By the way, sorry for those emotes fans but this time, i wanted to do something else ^^'

So, i had that idea to take a sprite of mine, to zoom it and to do a bigger version of it ... so there's the result
I used the Smudge tool on the zoomed pixel sprite to do the color style.

At down left, you can actually see the pixel art version.

Original sprite done with paint.
Original artwork done in adobe photoshop cs3.
Total time : 2 hours.
