The key of making pixel art is making every pixel count. That is luckily a little bit easier when the subject has some characteristics that are either unique, or translate very well to pixels.
For instance, glasses and a beard are very grateful trades to have in a subject, because they make it so much easier for the pixels to look like the person being pixelfied. But just any glasses and beard won't cut it either. The trick is to try to accuratly depict the model/shape of the glasses with the few pixels at ones disposal. The same with the beard. Every beard grows differently, so getting the shape & size right is paramount.
In this case I also added part of my subjects trademark post signature with all the colors to his shirt. (well, partly anyways)

Great work @eqko well done!! And Bianca, you are right, the ear is very very good!
He has the ears of his grandfather on his mother's side. A lot of the male family members have those big ears!

This is Kool. You really got the form of @exyle. The glasses really stood out, especially with his eye brows popping out above the glasses. Mehn you got the beards very.
You know when you see his face in his vlogs, youll think he is just a slim guy. wait until you see him, mehn you'll vow never to mess with him
There is just one final thing i would have loved to be captured - his deep voice. Mehn when you watch his videos, mehn you'll know he does not need a microphone.his voice is really deep.
Really awesome guy. Has helped my journey on steemit to be very comfortable and pleasureble. That's why I always take any advantage I have to express my appreciation for his efforts.
@eqko, I loved your pixel character too. It looked so much like you,with the clean hair cut and the beard. This reminds me of the picture I saw of you, when @exyle came to see you and have some game time at your house. Awesome job. I know the pixel characters of @s3rg3 is surely in the pipe cause I saw that of @bennierex in you previous post.
All the best
