Welcome! This article might help with what goes on around here http://hype.retroscene.org/blog/events/600.html#cut

sadly winter chip XII has already finished, but
at the moment theres a snes music (.spc) and a metal music (.mp3) competition going on. There will be Spring Tracks compo in a month or so, which will probably feature many different file formats you can enter in (such as famitracker, .mod/.xm/.it, renoise, sunvox etc etc).

Hi :)

cute 2hu avatar did you draw it

81324

Thanks for welcome, to you all.

Yes avatar done by me, thanks.
Sadly here format is 125x125 while it 100x100 so had to stretchand break pixel perfect lines.

did you use nearest neighbor when scaling it up? might look better with a smoother algorithm even tho that might diminish the pixel art quality of it somewhat

Try retracing it by hand tbh, it's worth having much bigger res version

82354

You could try 2x nearest neighbor scaling and crop it so it's focused on the head. You'll lose some other parts of the image but it'd look better I think.

_{_{Or MiDoRi's idea but that's more effort.}}

x2 and crop is not an option because it not looks as good without wings, with just close up of face...
Guess good option would be to add pixels on top-left and add the wing on left so it would not be cut off, which I'm gonna do as will have time.
~~wow people care about other's avatar so much, nice~~

Edt.
Did it! And after I found that transparency here shows aura, removed background too, whyanot.
