 I'm from Germany, and when i showed this to my friends, the reactions were really mixed.

It's just a portrait of a dictator without his most recognizeable symbol, no political statement.

Oh, and i made use of the NES palette

Without that little rectangle, he looks even more pathetic. Interesting drawing.

 Ok, I think about redoing this without the NES-palettes color limitation tryin' to reduce the dithering. It's hard to tell, whats really goodlooking and whats distracting, if you have only your own eyes to see through. When I started pixeling I did a lot of pillow shading for a long time, 'cause it looked fine to me and no one ever told me, that there are a lot more advanced methods... so I give it a try!

 Like Cure said, the dithering is screaming. I suggest either trying to find a creative way to make the dithering work [such as by using like hues/values], or reducing it down to very selective areas. A couple more in-between colors wouldn't hurt either.

 Yes, I guess i'm a dither-holic, but somehow it feels right for me... I try to use it a little bit less in my future work, but I can't promise anything :D

made me laugh.:) if someone gets offended, they got no sense of humor.

(some members on this site would be grossly offended by this...just look at my creations.)

dithering is being overused here, it's adding unecessary texture to the face.

hmm I liked the noisy background... had a feeling of a messed up video transmission from the imperator of the 3rd Reich to his fellow people to me, so i kept it :D

 Dithering in the suit is pretty nice, but it causes some readabilty issues in parts of the face.  In the face I would just tone it down some.  I would also take out those bright pixels from the background pattern as well, it's kind of noisy.  Overall very nice.
