"this was something i sketched a few years ago that i was gonna turn into a big digital painting, inspired by Fun's song "We Are Young", but i never got around to finishing it

i didn't feel like sketching something new the other day but wanted to do something for leon and then remembered i had sketches laying around.

thus i salvaged the sketch from that old picture, resized it and turned it into something pixely. took a few days to finish but i'm very happy with how it came out. good shading practice!"

i'm definitely in a big pixel art mood. i love doing work like his, it's always very relaxing for me to do pixely things. it also, imo, is a lot easier than normal things. there's something about solids that make the whole process a bit easier even though pixel stuff can be extremely complex. still amazingly fun and soothing, though <3
