Over the years, I've done character portraits for players of Ultima Online based on the player's description of their char personality as well as what their avatar looks like. For instance, Lady Nico's avatar looks like this. The rest comes from my imagination.

Beautiful. I think the 32-color version looks even better than the 256 version; crisper and pixelly-er.

You have to hit 'refresh page' sometimes.

Ok I now re-uploaded the 32 color version, but for some reason it only updated to the top sectipn, not the "pixel art details" section, which seems to still have the 256 version. Hmmm...

Hey Tomic. Thanks a lot for pointing a Pixel Joint newbie in the right direction.

The reason I classify this as a pixel piece is because each pixel has been finalized by hand. So although the first rough scetch has been drawn in "sweeps" to fill in colors, the details and rgbs of each pixel has been adjusted from there on. Many people don't believe these to be pixel drawings, simply because they don't "look" like pixel drawings. But if I know that I have done the work to make it look that way, that's all that counts.

As for the color amount. My assumption was that 256 is alright here since it's mentioned on the editing page. But I will take your challenge up though, of making it with less colors. Right now I reduced it to 32 and am polishing it.

Are we allowed to re-upload the images? So when it's done, is it ok to simply replace the one here with the 32 color version?

same as with the other piece: really nice pice, you're obviously not doing this for the first time, but doesn't look very handpixeled and thus i'm not sure if it qualifies for the gallery..

handpixeled, an appropriate color count would be something between 32 and 64 colors, i'd say
