Portrait based on Emma Watson's huge grin #3. I liked the smile so much, i wanted to try to capture the expression in pixels, while not going for a exact replica (bit of a caricature there).

(Staying clear from dithering, trying to develop some sense for value without that "trick").
About 12 hours of work. Most of them on the hair. God, the hair! Hair is hard.

My first words when I saw this were, It's Hermione!! The smile is a bit freaky, but then again, so is she!

Thanks for the comments, people! I didn't realize this was so creepy, but i think you may have to thank Ms. Watson herself for that :). Glad y'all liked the hair! Yeah, the exagerated facial features were purposeful, big chin and small nose.

Good thing i made a few people smile, that was the point (some of it).

Next time i may try to keep the values closer together, so that it's smoother, some parts i wasn't all that glad with (mostly, some of which you mentioned already, neck and left cheek "blemish").

If one day i feel up to it, i'll try coloring it (keeping it at 16 colors, if it can be done).

i do ivan :P

you people need to realize that art isnt cut and dry...  some things arent meant to be photorealistic, if it was then we wouldnt have art, it would be called PHOTOGRAPHY.  look at art for what it is, not of what you think it should be or what it was.  every artist has a different style and sees things differently.

personally, i like this, caricature's always make me smile, and you did this in a more "creepy" manner than in the norm.  8/9 dots from me  gj!

I think she needs some Exlax. Looks pretty good, especially the hair, but I think she has too much chin... makes her look more masculine. :B

user
manxana (Level 3 Stalker) @ 9/20/2006 12:15
I love the hair!
maby you should check some book with face expressions

Oh god that's freaky. She's satan in female form! I agree with... that other guy.... mouth is a bit too high, even for such a wide smile :) Her neck could do with soem dithering too, but apart from that, hair is great, skin is extremely well done, and effect is just freaky :D Good job!

don't let her eat me!
The pixel art is nice.. I'm not sure about this picture all together though.. the hair is very well done.

user
sensation (Level 1 Intern) @ 9/20/2006 09:05
WHOA! FREAKY! i like the shading though :) you've actually squished her face vertically, and that chin could knock someone out XD it's like jay watson (jay leno and emma watson combines) hahaha

user

Hahah, this picture is hilarious. Good job.

user
iSTVAN (Level 8 Cannibal) @ 9/20/2006 06:11
Spot on! I immediately thought of her when I saw it. The teeth and eyes are great, although I don't know about the blemish area on the cheek to her left.

user

Thats a pretty scary smile.. O_o.. Anyway the pixel art is pretty good..

user

Ick, sorry for the double post, but I just wanted to mention that the hair is VERY good, IMO. Her ears might do better with an enlargement too.

user

@SW : Yes, but on the reference pic, they're slightly bigger. Nvision hit the nail on the head though.

It's vaguely Watson-ish, though you've given her quite a masculine jawline, especially for a teenage girl.  Try reducing the level of facial detail and really softening that jaw. At the moment, it's rather reminding me of the Incredible Hulk in drag.  The hair is quite nicely done, though.

You've created a monster...

user
Opacus (Level 7 Ichikyu) @ 9/20/2006 04:13
Pretty well done, though I don't see how this will do her grin any justice :p
DR: The eyes are so small because her eyelids are partialy closed, you usualy do that when you laugh.

user

I really like the shading, especialy the air.

user
Dark Rogue (Level 5 Rokkyu) @ 9/19/2006 20:22
To be honest, this is sort of disturbing. You could make the eyes a bit bigger.
