somethin i noticed around here on tbt:

many pixel shops here usually have a base they work off of, where they add in features and clothes.
this is a specific art style called dolling.
pixels made from scratch, where there is no base or anything other than a sketch you made. these pixels have careful dithering and sometimes has anti-aliasing.
this is a specific art style called pixel art.

although dolling is pixel art, it has its own category and its easier to refer to it that way.

dolling
pixel art

just wanted to point this out in a sort of an attempt to help others.
 
This is really helpful, maybe the "Pixel artists" on this forum can take this into consideration.
