Selfish portrait :: Pixel Art Detail

@bob: Now now I will not start to build my own monuments... yet :) Actually I didn't even intend these things under the nose to be the lines you were talking off - just the transition of the lights. And I can't remember when I was that cleanly shaved either :) It's always most difficult to do self-portraits - at least for me. @gas: I aa'ed the hair without thinking - Since I plan to do an animated bg that antialiased hair will then be a big pain in the arse - I already see it coming. I realized that too late though. @everyone: I t might remind of an illustration because I tried to give it that vexel look. Vexel meaning that clearly defined colour-blocks are used instead of soft transitions/gradients. It's quite hot with web-illustrators for some time now - google it, it's worth looking at it. I don't think there's much pixelart with that look but I seem to remember one piece from Kon, the big portrait of an amazon warrior that could be named "vexel". Uh oh well - thank's everybody for dropping by.

Great pixel. The AA on the hair seems misplaced if this is complete :/

Very stylish indeed, I especially dig the effects of the green part of the jacket..

That's really good. Very stylish, nicely done, and with a good colour choice. I like what you did on the jacket and the jumper.

nice pixeled
unique colors

it has an "awesome" aura about it. I really love the shirt/jacket/thing

Hey that's some great portrait. Looks like an illustration of sorts. Wonder why you aa'ed the haircut and left the other parts aliased. The narrow shading of the face looks interesting (actually that's probably what reminds me of illustration for some reason) but I'm pretty sure it ruins the likeness (at least for the chin).

Great job on colors. They work together very well.

   So this is the stylish Niss. Bah, I pictured a giant among men! One whose stature was unmeasurable, and whose gigantic feet were made of gold. Truly, this is underwhelming.

   Heh, joking. I like this style. This looks to be your biggest piece. I also like the fact that it isn't dithered any where, and that the solid colors don't clash with each other. I've never seen your face, so I can't really make a comparison, or critique. Though, I'm guessing the line that stretches from your nostril to the ends of your mouth aren't as prominent as pictured. It almost makes it seem as if your nose is caving in.
   Oh well, this is still great, and very clean. Hope to see more!

Very sharp and very stylish. Excellent.
