Silence of the Winter

So I want to improve my pixel skills, which is why I drew this in pixel-style art. 
I like the way it came out, even the background despite the fact that I didn't shade it much. And her hair turn out perfectly! I love it!
I make all pixel like art with gimp, not sai. It's more comfortable with gimp and for me easier, though I know many artists draw pixels with sai too. 

Samusagi loves winter and cold climates. She likes putting her body to a test, to make it stand extreme cold. But, what you might already guess, she doesn't do well with heat. Especially extreme ones like fire and that's the reason she avoids warm places like beaches, she also can't spend a lot of time in hot water, so hot springs can't last too long for her as well. 

Also on a side note, this is actually a photo, which was taken by Vogen. But I don't want to spoil too much, before Anita write the story with it!
