Awesome work!

That's some tight pixelling! Very nice.

Awesome work on the lion!

It's always fascinating to see how you suggest so much detail in the face with so few pixels.

Thanks, I probably updated it a few more times since you've commented (I can't tell if the new version looks good till I see it on my iPhone and also am a bit obsessive), but I think I've arrived at a satisfactory version. Good lookin' out.

@dastal, vector: muchos gracias

Yeah, that's a solid step in the right direction :)

Monitor issue. My entire computer is terrible rn- crunches when it starts up, overheats, missing keys... I tried to brighten it a bit, let me know if it reads better.

Nice! However, I would have liked to seen a little more difference in hue between the girl and the animal, they blend a bit now at first glance.

I also wonder; this and many of your pieces are a little dark...is it a design choice or a monitor issue?

Yeah! Curves. 

But the lioness is pretty cool too. I like your variant a lot.

Really dig the composition with her and the lionness on that canvas size, its a pretty good use of the space.
