PIXEL ART REQUIRES REVISION

I can't quite seem to post the picture of mine for some reason:

REASON: Any art you post should be PIXEL ART! Pixel art implies that each pixel is placed by hand (no filters, paintbrushes, gradient fills, etc).

Well, I did make it by hand in paint, pixel by pixel, provided a link to the reference image and all. This may be just a misunderstanding, but how may I be sure this wont happen again.

Reading this thread was really eerie, for some reason. The tone and form of other forums is so sycophantic it makes me sick, and it stands out way more when copy pasted onto /prog/.
