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. wip here: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v157/pembroke/pixeljoint/merry_man_wip.gif 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

with such heavy dither the face is almost unreadable

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 3 Private Eye) @ 11/16/2007 07:23

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.

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 9 Human) @ 11/16/2007 04:12

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) @ 11/15/2007 23:48

Nice preview. I second dogmeat on the smoothing out.
Good job in choosing 15 colors, looks like more!
