i am not sure but i think you have used a picture pixelator

@Dawnbringer: thanks a lot, ha ha, one more person and I will be forced to do that :D (optimise)

Rendering could be a bit better, but I spent already too much time on it 

thanks again

@StarQueen: :)

@digger: thanks 

You found the perfect 12-bit colorscheme here...but it bugs me to no end that you didn't keep with the 32 color restriction as well. Killer rendering though!

Super work

@Fleja2003: thanks! :)

@IvoryFalcon: thank you! - more coming soon

That's insanely good!

Daaamn, this looks crazy good. Impressive work!

@Mandrill: Thank you very much, It means a lot for me, really :)

@Blackmambuh: thanks!

@MrHai: Yes, in fact makes him older, I'm working on  corrected version, but as change is irrelevant for gfx as pixelart I just wanted to show it as it is :) And thanks!

@ParkerBaby: Not really, as this time its not my model or some anonymous / imagined person. But I will most likely post more, at least one for that moment.

Can you post the reference picture to compare?

I cannot get over how great this looks!

Absolutely stunning.

Incredible! Photorealistic! 

I think the contrast in the eyes (highlight) is a little too harsh. Otherwise its fantastic!

@Theoden: Ok, got it :) I was not trying to copy photo in literal way. There is a lot going on with colors and graphic side of picture I hope. 

Thanks!

@jackhummer: :) could be easily less - but I'm ok with 35 

@Frost: thx! - As its not amiga or demoscene release in general, I don't see point in strictly folowing platform restrictions.

From the other hand ... I have habit to learn something every time and take challange with limitations - thats why OCS palette :) Picture can be easly optimised to 32c - just  there is no reason for doing that.

Don't worry - amiga stuff in pipeline ;)

Nice portrait!
Why 35 colors?

When you get the "looks like a photo" comment on a pixel art, you sure are doing it right :)

Excellent rendering.

Only 35 colors!

@Pixelart_kid:  thanks :) 

@Zephyrrite: - but its not ;) I paint with oil colors too - so I like this kind of realistic style with broken ramps and color richness 

@Wrex: thank you!

OMG!! 

Wow, looks like a photo!

good job 

@DexRunner: Thanks!

Photo as reference - quite good but no professional.

I hope too :) And I will try :)

@AirStyle: Thanks a lot!

HO. LY. CRUD! That is amazing! Nice work!

No photos in the gallery please.  

Amazing work!  What kind of reference were you using for it?  I think my favorite part is the beard.  I hope you do some more of these!  Keep up the amazing pixels!
