Heart
 

I usually don't like this style of pixel art, but I think it turned out alright.

It was a gift for a friend, it has some symbolism with the black outline.

looks great, I love the way you shade your stuffs.

Ahh.. The heart is now the Pixel Monkey!
Nice Job.

No, the heart is the pixel monkey! :)

Too symmetrical. Methinks you should've drawn the whole thing rather than drawing half and flipping it.

Actually, that heart is filled with symbolizm right up to the symmetry.
My friend didn't like the original heart I drew him which was on an angle with a "3d" type look to it, he said he felt like his relationships start one way and finish the same (which is the cause for the symmetry).

But, meh...I don't have enough time to elaborate on all the symbolizm in this peice.
