I don't think that's who my reference was , though I don't remember who was it actually.

And yea , I guess I am pretty inconsistent with the subjects of my pixel art.

What I sent you is a rough sketch of how to actually represent the shape of the object you were trying to render , you criticising its jaggieness and flaws is pointing out the obvious and ignoring the bigger picture of it. 

I do not see how my edit is over complicated as you have said , I even reduced some of your unnecessary colors.

And as for why I criticized you in the first place , it is not to show off. If you implement a pillow shaded piece into the website you should expect criticism. I just don't like to see that.

What you have created is rough outlines inside a small shape (which disturbs them feeling like a single three dimensional shape) and then shaded each of these shapes with simply adding light in the middle , I don't know how you can't notice it being pillow shaded.

Here is a rough idea of what I mean to define the different planes of the shape , I feel like it automatically gives you a better metallic texture.

Thanks.

Nice work on the abdomen.

You overdefined the lines and pillow shaded inside them. 

I feel like you could have accomplished a lot more of a convincing shape and a better metallic texture by just defining the different planes of the metallic part of the gramophone.

Thank you. what I have done is choose that background color , and then following my source while sort of using the color I chose as the general temperature (rather than the original one).

Thanks

Thanks, and probably not.

At least not in a centered manner.

If any thing , that is a rat.

I got shaky hands. 

I don't think a high color count matters if you can hardly notice it.

it looks like pixel art and it is pixel art.

Nice work

I feel like this could have been a lot better if you would have changed a few bad habbits.

I like the concept of it honestly , the colors are pretty good even and the main tree looking object is pretty cool.

I feel you are harming the clarity and the potential of the scene by focusing on the micro and not the general image , for example with the textures.

You are texturing elements of the sky as if they were rocks , which is sort of an easy solution but it harms the image. Its not clear what is clouds or mountains really. And at the top part of it I think you should just have gone with a smooth gradient towards a darker more ultramarine hue of blue , a variety of textures in the image would make it a lot better and would even distract less from the tree looking object at the middle

If you are not up for CC just scratch all of that..

Thank you.

Maybe I wasn't clear , every thing besides the face I made myself on Photoshop.

It's not a screenshot or anything.

Thanks you.

To be honest with you , this technique is not going to get you very far learning wise.

In the future I recommend you to just observe the source and not trace over it. It's not going to go well or be very easy , but that is the room for improvement you need to work on.

It's an obvious color reduction... 

The hair could improve , but good work really.

Thanks , you are right I did think of the lines being too simple. I might edit it and update it.

nice work haha

thank you

haha

nice piece
