I needed a better avatar so I tried pixeling a self portrait.

 

 

comments appreciated.

 

 

 

 

tried to fix some things.

 

mainly undithered and added some AA, also (obviously) changed the background.

This highlights pretty much everything that's wrong with your pixels. Low contrast, over-dithering, little and poor AA etc.

 

 

 

You're so raw. :D

 

 

 

I think you should really focus on fixing those three things in this piece. I would do an edit, but my hand's broken. You've got talent man, just practice correct usage of pixel art techniques.

Very nice.

 

 

 

Same C/C as Lovelydude.

 

 

 

8/10, keep up the good work! :-)

So you don't comment, just insult someone?

 

I like it, Lovelydudes avatar and Terleys are cool too, I know nothing about pixeling so I don't know any c/c, I love to look at your work.

How do you turn that comment to my skills?! I just don't like when IN MY OPINION people who can't paint better than the one who's topic is in line, and they start to "teach" them.. -.-

 

 

 

And hey, It's not about my skills here! I'm not that good in pixeling, so stop turning these comments against me please..

The left cheek area looks bit gray. Just add a bit of a rosy tint to the lips since it looks a bit anaemic :P

it isnt that bad, it just looks like he drank too much last night or didnt sleep well :?

way too many colours, a lot of your palette makes no effect to the image, you may as well of jpeg'ed it.. Really try to stick to only as many colours as you need, ive tried to reduce it a bit and demonstrate that you can get just as much detail through using your pixel placement just a bit more wisely.

 

 

 

 

 

 

only done it very roughly, haven't touched most of this image but concentrated on the face and how you need to use your pallete to adjust areas not only to highlights and shadowing but to add depth, you need more contrast in this picture..

 

 

 

But Its a nice portrait, keep it up.

Thanks you guys (and Terley for the edit). I'll try to work some more on this and post another version.
