I'm in love with the face design. His right eye kicks asses.
The pixel work is not that good though, as ThereIsNoCure said, but keep practicing, you have a great style here.
funnily enough, the head was wider on an earlier version (it's on my atari hard drive right now, which is packed away due to decorating my house :) ) but it seemed to look better a bit narrower, I'll play with the hair and see if I can't improve it.
You are quite right on the 45degree lines, they do look blurry, another few evenings of tinkering should make that a little better I reckon :)
the way the head/hair is flat in the top right of the image suggests he lacks proper cranial volume (back of the skull is too small). you've used aa on a lot of 45 degree angles, which isn't really necessary and just creates blurry lines. you do a lot of single pixel aa, but you may want to experiment with using small 2-3 pixel "lines" for aa in some spots, you just have to fee where the line needs to be "pulled" in one direction or another.
EDIT: changed the scanned and photoshopped background for a simple fade, resized to get rid of the empty space, re-did a lot of AA and some of the dither. Happier with this now, but I reckon it still needs 'something' before it is truly finished.
ah, thats cool, if I modified the images to remove the fonts and retouched scan parts, could I re-submit them ?
Hey, welcome to PJ.
Unfortunately we don't allow color reductions. We ask that pixel placement be 100% intentional, so such automated processes aren't allowed. Under this same line of reasoning, we don't usually allow computer fonts, which could be a factor delaying the acceptance of one of your other pieces.
Cool bean!
