Love your new outfit, Panda....

I thought some of Gaia's items looked tool shaded. I think they use both styles. Ernya is definitely pure pixel.

I usually prefer pure pixel on sites and other artwork, but I prefer to draw tool shaded stuff when I make stuff.
I can purely pixel, but I'm lazy and I don't consider it cheating, just not pixel art. It is its own thing to me...
