Do you like dolphins? Here you can make a pixel dolphin.

Start with a New Image, 100 x 60, transp, 16 mill.
New layer. Call it Body. Zoom your picture to 7:1. Airbrush1. Shape: square.
Make the outlines with color #437976 and the eye with black color.

New layer. Call it Upperfens. The same color on the outlines.

Put the fens on the dolphin like I did.
