I'm working on a bunch of 40k and Warcraft inspired portraits at the moment. First one had to be an ork, hehe.

This is also a nice excuse for adding 64x64 avatars to PJs gallery.

I think you could get rid of the white in the text. The thing with keeping text legible is it has to be contrasted from other parts of the image, but should have relatively little contrast between different parts of the text itself, so it's best to keep it to 1-2 colours.

It does! Thanks a ton for the helpful input.

The font looks fine, the readability issues stem from the fact that the text has lower contrast to its immediate surroundings than other nearby elements (the frame) do. Give it brighter colours from the palette (and leave the frame unchanged, or even get rid of the brightest colour on it), and it should read quite well.

@ phil

Cheers for your critique, mate. I like your version, higher contrast really helps with making the text more readable.

I'm happy that you like, at least, some parts of the piece. ;)

Quality pixel art right here. I agree that the text is difficult to read though, especially when not enlarged, because it has such high contrast.

The text is difficult to read because the light bits around it are more contrasty than the text itself, but aside from that, this looks beautiful. Those colours and textures!
