	You're not quite done yet Oren. There's loads to be done and you still have loads of time left. For example, up the contrast, lose the dither and give it a thick black outline (which will make it more cartoony). Anyways.. this pic is still a wip. Not finished..
	Without me, it's just aweso

	A cool idea, if anyone had the gumption to try it, would be an animation of someone/thing growing a mustache and then shaving it off, looping. I, however, am going to try some thing new for me. Something cute~

	Behold, the horrid monstrosity that will haunt my dreams for days to come! In other words, what little talent I had a few months ago seems to have dissipitated, an I'm looking for a little advice/help. PS. That IS supposed to, eventually be a girl. But my idea is to screw her up a little.

	Looking good! One of my favorites so far. I think that defining the bridge of the nose, particularly at the bottom, as well as playing with the colors some more would really improve this piece. I mean there isnt even much of a restriction and you have two red on red tones? idk if im feeling it much. But still an otherwise excellent piece so far. I kind of messed with the colors a bit so forgive me,lol. Not all of them are that nice but w.e. it might give you an idea or somethingXD It reminds me a bit of warhol's stuff hence the color wallXD http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/8016/warholwall.png

	Dithering from experience gives an unneeded rough texture. With dithering, the beard + 'stache look more like octopus tentacles.
