I made this a short time after the one of Toad. A dithering experiment.

Very nice, looks just like him=p What's that little spot in the corner?

Oh, and I agree that the AA on the outline is too dark. This was made a while ago though, so I'm not going to fix it.

It's mirrored because I'm lazy.

And what I aim for with the rough dithering is that you squint at it, and it looks real. I feel that I've accomplished that goal.

The reason it has so many colors is because yes, I could have done it with less, but not the way I wanted. More colors adds to the realism. It's not like colors are precious resource that can't be wasted after all. If it makes the picture look worse, there's no point in reducing. That being said, if there's no penalty in doing so, reducing is a good idea.

was there a need for that many colours?

Pretty hat but nothing for for it. I do not like such shading.. And there is strange it antialiasing.

Yeah, it's drawn nicely, but the mirroring is too obvious. Also, the antialiasing on the outline is too dark.

Mirrored. I'd work on that. Too many colors, I think it could be accomplished with less. Good likeness.
