| Your shading seems to be almost entirely dithering... use some more solids to shade the back of his head and around the cheekbone and jaw. You've picked good values, and it should be a nicely contrasting piece, but it looks like of flat right now... more spotty than shaded. |

It looks like half of the face is missing. Not sure what you can do to fix it. ------------- |

It looks like half of the face is missing. Not sure what you can do to fix it. I noticed this too. And I figure the easiest way to fix it is also the most obvious. Add more to the other side of his face. Quick and dirty edit time!  Another thing is the strange way his ear molds into his head and that black line made to seemingly show the edge of his cheekbone, they're both... not supposed to look like that. Ears usually curve upward when they connect to the head which would create the ear lobe or they have a connected ear lobe which still connects at a deeper angle than what you have. The thing about the harsh line under the cheek bone is that it's not where the cheekbone should be. The bone can actually be felt curving beneath your eye, level with the nose and the jaw comes into play when you feel lower than that. The edge of the cheek on this guy is level with his lips, which is really awkward. ------------- http://punaji.com/">

Well I gave it a try. I new it looked messed up, but I was having troub;e with the brows.
So which do you think is better?
 or  I'm still having problems with the cheek bone and ear. ------------- Every pixel counts, even the dead ones. |

The black line is too harsh and makes it appear like his head is pasted on. His body seems too big for his head Looks to me to be the other way around. His head seems too big for his body currently. ------------- http://punaji.com/">

That would be the final part, I just don't know what to do is all.
Ah crap. I just realized the dimensions are 63x64. Meh, I guess I'll have to add a bit more to his left shoulder, then. ------------- Every pixel counts, even the dead ones. |

Any suggestions on the bg, becaus I have no idea what to do. Or should I just leave it white? Choices, choices.

Grumble, grumble. Another small update. Still no ideas for bg. Prolly going to go with plain old white.

I thiiiiiink you need to meet Brian's friend, mister flamethrower.
On second thought, maybe they've got a nice padded cell for you.
MAYBE there are rooms FULL of people like you! Who knows! Your future is wiiiide open, though I think I see a personalised lock looming over your horizon, if you don't stop making senseless posts.
I like the piece, HalfDemon. It bothers me that he has mounds of flesh for eyebrows, but it suits the style. S'coo, and greyscale pieces kick ass. ------------- "I was minding my own business and walking across a pebbled path, and a Duck started giving me the business." |

Man, the dither background looks really nice. I think you could do another variation of dithering for the darkest shade though, as it seems to cut off too quickly. ------------- http://larw-ck.deviantart.com">
