I don't really have a name or anything for this character, I just wanted to practice pixel portraits a bit and make a new avatar while I was at it. This isn't based on anyone.

I think I've had 3 female avatars in a row now. Maybe my next one will be a robot or something.

Here's what the colors were like before I changed it at the last minute, because I liked the blue- link

This is great, the palette & excellent original "spikey" dithering!

Pretty cool. Why not push that scanline look to the next level and draw the horiz lines on top of her face like an LCD. Maybe a little animated flickeryness to go with it.

 I love the color pallete! For some reason, when I use purple for the shade the purple always seems to chase the other colors.... Great work!

 Lovely. Though I think the darker one works better. But it still looks great.

 I like both palettes, but this one it better. And it's a great image overall - great face, unique style. The stripeyness is cool, I think; it looks a bit like scanlines.

Now I'm dreaming about a game with character portraits done in this style.

Really liking this one, good move on the colour swap.

Truly like this piece. It has something that draws my attention to it. Perhaps it's the mix of the softness of the color choice, your way of dithering and the level of expertise of getting it all into a pretty face.

Anyhow: great work: 7/7

the stripes don't convince me, especially on the face. i quite like the colours though :)

 Aha! I immediately knew it was you who made this :D

The parallel dihtering style gave it away :)

Great 2-tone color choice, also I like the portrait very much. You just keep it up!!!

(also draw robot!)
