Quick entry for the challenge. Not sure about medieval legends being fantasy. Well poor fantasy at least.

Used one of Arne's palette, after finishing it, I think I should have used an other one.

No spectacular similarity with the real thing (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v157/pembroke/photo/adam.jpg) but my sexyness is hard to copy with mere pixels. Especially in tights.

Preview is extremely rushed it's 1:41 here.

 

Edit: Updated with a cheap solution to meet challenge restrictions: 2 pixel wide borders. Also added minor changes.

Heres a quick +1color edit if you think the facial dithering sucks: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v157/pembroke/pixeljoint/merry_man_upd2.gif

And finally a reference I forgot previously: http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2006/09/robinhood240906_477x700.jpg

I think the colouring style is great!
Comparing it to your pic, I can tell that it's you!

Heh, when I thought I'd finished mine I found out it was 64x60.  Had to enlarge the canvas and pixel in continuing areas.  Annoying to have had to done that when I thought I was done and could move on.

Anyways I really like this.  Perhaps could use better definition in places but overall it's colorful and appealing.  Plus I like most things Robin Hood.

@ Lollige: No color limit for the challenge, but I tried to stick to the given "Arne" palette. Did a quick edit though with an additional color - linked to the description.

@ A.B. Lazer: Well, my eyes look like this. They are set a bit deep, they tend to hide in shadows so nobody can catch me sleeping during my seminars. Lightened the shadow cast by the nose a bit. A little bit.


A.B. Lazer (Level 2 Flatfoot) at 11/16/2007 7:23:07 AM
Good. But eyes are too dark. At 1x you can't see them at all. And shadow falling from the nose on lips is too brutal.

Lollige (Level 9 Necrophiliac) at 11/16/2007 6:29:44 AM
there is no color limit! If you really need it, add it.. it looks very 'scribbly' now :(.. But it does look like you :)

Adam (Level 7 Colonel) at 11/16/2007 4:12:26 AM

Hahh! Nobody noticed that it's just 60x60. I'll adjust the canvas when I get home.

@ M.E. and  dogmeat: Yes, face could benefit from smoothing, though I dont know how. I really miss an intermediate skin tone (dithering is not one of my best skills). I'll maybe come back to the piece but I have a lot of work these days.


M.E. (Level 4 Team Leader) at 11/15/2007 11:48:06 PM
Nice preview. I second dogmeat on the smoothing out.
Good job in choosing 15 colors, looks like more!

dogmeat (Level 7 Mass Murderer) at 11/15/2007 6:48:07 PM
bravo! I think the face could use more smoothing out, you have done a great job so far and still have some days left.
