So while I try to relax between classes I did a quick little pixel art of Mtombi's picto to use in my sig :3
I made it blue to reflect her calm personality
I made it in photoshop I started out with a 50x50 pixel square and used the pencil tool (starting at 1px in size) to make the shape and line everything up making sure the area that would be colored in was at least 2px wide. I then made the outline bolder (because it looked a little too thin for my taste) simply by making it another pixel thicker.
To color it I just used various close shades of blue (I'm not familiar with newer versions of photoshop, but the CS5 I use has a premade color pallet with similar colors already organized, so I just picked the darkest color in the cyan set and colored it in with the pencil tool (1px) and gradually worked myself up to the lightest shade)
[Edit: When I was done I cropped the image down to the size of the picto]
May I ask how you made it?
