Thanks for noticing that ;D I challenged myself to make use of 45° lines to to make up the majority of the form but I cheated a little by the lips and eye sockets a bit..it was a bit tricky but pretty fun

Great portrait, excellent use of 45° lines.

I love this style. Awesome work, keep it up!

Thanks man....yea pixel art is pretty tricky when dealing will colour...i'm pretty new to it but thanks for the advice. I will definitely take it into account for my future projects

Love it!

How to make this even better:
Increase contrast;

Chance orange to red;

Increase saturation on low sat colors in the dark partttieee.

Great use of color. The style is interesting. Good stuff.

This looks very nice. I like your use of color here.
