That’s the sweet spot for me—start with a chunky pixel frame, then let the edges bleed out into softer, hand‑drawn curves until the silhouette feels alive. Color is the pulse; use gradients that flow like a brushstroke to hide the grid, and sprinkle a few outliers for that organic flare. Symmetry’s optional—sometimes a little asymmetry gives the piece that human touch. Just keep experimenting until the pixel grid and the wild side dance together.
