This is my project for the morning! For a forum challenge, I'm watching a movie I haven't seen each day for the month of October, and the 1st was Double Indemnity. For fun, I wanted to pixel the movie poster, or my own version of it. So here it is!
It's meant to just be the heads and the dithering to thebackground color is meant as a kind of fade out because I didn't like the look of it being so stark. Fred MacMurray turned out better than Barbara Stanwyck, but I like 'em both. Barbara's hair is prettu good I think. Ignore the text, I just tossed it in to identify it, it's not meant to be a significant part of the piece(though it isn't NPA). B&W is to stick to the movie, depite the original poster being in color.
5 colors, 75x100 but it's meant to be viewed at either 2x or 4x. I like it at 4x. Not looking to improve this particular piece, but I'd like any crits anyway, since this is one of my first shots at close-up human faces in pixel-art. Ref: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0036775/ iMDB doesn't allow hotlinking and all the Google Images refs look different.
EDIT: Just did a quick fix on Fred, I thought he was smiling a bit too much. Also a minor color shift.
EDIT2: Bored in class, so I've been fiddling with it. This time I fixed up Barbara a bit, shrunk her chin a little. Also switched the darkest gray to straight black; the contrast helps and it balances the pure white highlights.
Additionally, I decided to see what it would look like it the brightest two colors were merged(to get a true 8-bit 4-color thing going) and it works ok. Not well enough to make it the primary, but still: http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b330/maxdxam/DoubleIndemnityPostersmall4color.png
It'll probably get fiddled with a bit more, but I'm going to try to stop. Hopefully this is good!
EDIT3: Thank you so much A.B.Lazer, you foudn what was throwing me off! Fixed up I think. | 
THANK YOU. That correction is so much nicer, I think it's what's been throwing me off this whole time. Fixed her eye I think, it still might be a little high but it's much more in range now. I didn't see as big a change needed on the nose, but I tried, so hopefully that worked. I moved her down a little and tried to put her more in line, like you said, but when I made it I ended up not putting her at as extreme an angle as in the ref, so I suspect that shifts it a bit too.
@Luizfelipespr: Um, thanks, I think.
