Shading has always been my downfall in every piece I attempt. From what I see here with the palette and dithering, I'm afraid I still have so much to learn.

P.S. You scared the #@*! out of my wife. She hates clowns.

Not much scary, more like a clown hitman. :)

Lol !!!   Its nice because I voted for you.

Gratz on 1st, but I cant believe that EVERY challenge Ive entered, I ALWAYS get 2nd place. Nothing more, nothing less, FIRST LOOSER! LMFAO!

A well deserved win Terley :)
Not too colorful, but the clown is perfect, its expression and style meets the target group, and you have shown excellent use of the full c64 palette!

Wow omg I've won  ! ive never won anythin b4 thank you so much!

Great, he looks like Sylar ^-^

I love the use of the colours. Good job.

well, it's not the fullest usage of the C64 palette.. It is really REALLY effective use of colors, though :) Reminds me of EGA pictures except with far less eye-hurting colors :)

Really nice piece of sheet.......dam amazing...

you surprize me with that nice dithering. Face is great also shadows only with black and grey look at very nice.

Why so serious? (and why so lovely:)))

I wonder where are the family friendly funny clowns =/

Awesome piece, but there's something with the lips that I can't quite put my finger on.

Very scary, very nice. Some reason I'm seeing this as being Gotham City.

my fav out of the contest as well.

oh thx for the comments :) really enjoyed the challenge, just hope I get somewhere in the top 3 never had a prize before  , I know there's usually some late entries will most likely kick this outta the water but can still hope.

Wow! This is great! I really like how you used the palette here. All the details in this are great too, there's so much to look at.

Oh wow. Congrats on using the palette in an original way.

Also congrats on being the 100th person to fav the robot thing! If you are ever in the neighborhood, come by to collect your prize! :D

omg, this is great!!!!

Whoah! Great clown, and maybe an even more awesome preview!

Cool

Verry good x)
 I like, you've win my vote.

And we have our winner! Nice work. (:

My favourite so far, and really hard to top. I always love it when someone takes a palette challenge and makes the art look like had no restrictions, and that's exactly what you've done here. the dithering also works really well in creating the pastime atmosphere you've got going with the house style and buggy. The thickish black lines on the character just add a funky wonderful touch as well. All around top-notch performance!
