I JUST REALIZED I FORGOT SOMETHING--
UGH--
I just hit myself in the head a few times because now I have to add a "second drawing session" just to add exactly one detail
-_-
Anyway..I've finally decided what my Halloween costume is going to be. Or..who it's going to be.
Victoria from VVVVVV!
Since it's extremely difficult to picture a tiny 1-bit character as a human in your head, I decided to spend 2-3 hours of my life coloring in what I think she would look like. I don't actually know how long this took me because I'm only posting it, but I can assume that you can probably take about 30 minutes off of the timer. I spent a long time either pointlessly messing around or putting may too much effort into things that I didn't end up keeping. The choice in clothing took me forever to work out because I wanted to have her wearing a lab coat, but that isn't an option, so I just..settled on a pale blue white coat because..that's obviously the same thing :')
I don't think her hair would be that long, either, but..I wanted it to be wavy and that was the only wavy option that wasn't in a ponytail
And of course, there's a trinket, because why would there not be a trinket? It gave me an opportunity to figure out what a trinket would look like in real life, so that's a bonus :D
I spent too much time on the signature, making sure to remove any and all stray pixels for no reason other than my being a perfectionist
I'm also not sure what to think about the shading
I guess I'll have to add the missing detail in a few hours, because I need to be somewhere and I'm already late -_-
EDIT: Added a sprite in the top left--how Victoria actually looks in VVVVVV, for reference--and modified the trinket a little.
(the missing detail I actually wanted to add was a blue V somewhere on her coat, like a sort of "name tag" [not what I mean but I can't think of the right term], but I couldn't find anywhere to put it that didn't look strange.)
