  First I made this for the weekly challenge, but thinking better, I think it does not fit in the challenge, but anyway, I want to use this as my avatar!

 Thanks, good to know that my piece would get your vote, but I think I'll try the next challenge.

No problem, I like doing this kinda thing.  And no problem about your english, I have no problem understanding what you're sayin'.

And awesome job! Neck looks right at home in the rest of the piece now, and he looks even angrier than before! Rock on man, looks superb now.

If you were to deem this fitting with the weekly challenge (and I would message Gecimen and see if he would accept it, cuz I personally would), it would definitely have one of my votes, alongside probably that Zach Galafianakis one and the Skrillex one. This really is damn good.

 thank you for giving your time on this piece, now I see what you meant, so as I have free time,i decided to give some attention to this piece, since it is my avatar.

  Although it is somewhat difficult for me dithering a curve place, I made an edit in the neck and tried to give more anger at his face, i hope its better now.(sorry for my english haha.)

No problem. Yeah, necks aretough. You have the anatomy of it down though, it's just a matter of making the style match the rest of the piece. Here, check this out: http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b330/maxdxam/HeliosKratosfaceneckditherfix_zps3ac11408.png

And I don't know if ALL of Kratos's rage is represented in the piece, but he does look seriously angry. If you were to do more on that front, maybe consider moving his cheekbones up a little and make that crease from his nose that traces under the cheeks a bit more severe. Also, perhaps curling his upper lip up might also help with that. No need to change it though, this is just for future reference and stuff.

I actually continued that edit I made for the neck to see if I couldn't increase his anger some. Curling a lip is hard but I tried, but I made the cheek raise, made the shadow of the brow ridge over the nose darker, and I shrunk the lit part of the eye a bit (that was mostly just personal flair, though the idea was that with the stronger brow ridge less light would be cast over the eye, leaving much of it in darkness). http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b330/maxdxam/HeliosKratosfaceneckditherandangryfix_zps573617ce.png

Hope that helps a little more even! And I'm serious, this is already great, this is just in the name of further improvement and future knowledge, no need to really go back and do this piece any more.

 @ junintkd: it's hard for me to make something related to one piece, because I never watched the show, haha.

 
@ ego: thank you for your criticism, the neck is for me a difficult and confusing part to pixel, and I do not think I got all the ''rage'' in the kratos's face, but I'm happy with the result.

Sweet job, the combination of that much dithering and contrast is usually dangerous since the dithering can be really obvious (ie you see the checkerboard rather than blending) but your excellent color selection has overcome that challenge! In fact, with all the really smooth dithering, the undithered neck in the bottom right almost looks a bit too stark and cel-shad-y, although it isn't a bit deal. You also managed to get a good likeness of Kratos. Overall, this is a great job!
