I have a feeling the Cyberman would just act as inspiration for more Doctor Who fanfic erotica, and there is already far too much of that in existence. Slitheen x Cybermen, plz no.On a more relevant note, these are pretty awesome - someone should try doing Iron Man. I'd contribute if I had any artistic ability whatsoever, but I know I don't, considering my attempts to lrn2art have generally resulted in mannish tears of frustrated and many a broken pencil.

That first part is disturbing but true. :lol

The sucking at art thing doesn't really apply to pixel art (despite the name) as much as you might think. I'm garbage at art, can't even draw a stick figure properly unless I put an embarrassing amount of effort into it, but I was able to make the Cyberman without much trouble. I found a pixel art Cyberman head that I recreated by altering the dimensions, but for everything else I only had normal pictures of Cybermen as a reference. Actually formulating the appearance in pixels was much easier than I expected, though tweaking the dimensions to make it look right when it was all put together gave me some issues. It turned out well enough that anyone familiar with Doctor Who would probably recognize it without any trouble, and if I can do it then anyone with enough motivation to try it and actually take the time necessary for it can definitely make something decent.

Seriously, I'm so atrocious at art that the last time I attempted to draw something more complicated than basic geometric shapes and scribbles was in 7th grade when I had some assignment that required me to do so. I felt so embarrassed by my shitty drawing that in 8th grade and onward I simply refused to do the art stuff asked of me in school and willingly took point deductions on assignments for not doing the drawing portions of things. I could be the poster child for being shit at art, and I still managed to make a passable pixel Cyberman. It's super simple when you reduce it to the pixel level, so simple that even I can do it. :newlol
