Artist's Comments
I decided to rewrite the comments on this because I sounded like a spaz. o.0
I started this before Xenosaga Ep II came out and eventually finished it a while after it came out here. I also started Shion, but never completed her.
I started with the original picture which I did a quick (and ugly) sketch of. I traced a couple details that were difficult to get exact. Then I redrew the entire thing as a clean outline (on the left).
Then I copied the outline and began to add in the colours. This whole piece took at least 15 hours, probably longer. The hair and eyes aren't perfect, but it's difficult to get the same effect. A 3D model can have many strands on it's head, while pixels are very limited. I may try to redo the hair at some point, but I'm not sure how to make it look better.

M.O.M.O is still massively cute in Xenosaga II, I like her this way more than in the first one.
PS: For those who do not believe this is pixelled, please zoom into the image. Try looking at the blue parts and the tights, I think it is the most evident there. Obviously I worked from a reference and this is not an original work of mine, it was practice :3

Daily Deviation, 2005-03-06
If you ever get a chance to, zoom-in into this work to check out an idyllic example of how to pixel a character from the ground up. M.O.M.O Episode II by ~cidsaspixels is just as amazing full-scale as it is to examine up close. Take a gander! (Suggested by =di0xygen and Featured by `halfliquid)

I like Emerson, but his Quote is too long
Which is probably why it took so long to finish XD
in overall, great colors, great pixeling, great lineart, lots of work invested.. deserve a fav
I think the hand looks okay..I know the hair sucks but I tried my best..I just don't want to fight with it anymore XD
As you can see this is a pretty involved piece to do..and hair is just so darn HARD with pixels XD
I tried :/
Now to add in a background! Any ideas?
Must have taken forever to do.

Who? Me?

And I'm thinking of doing another one of these characters! XD
