Agree with Mandrill. Great coloring, and the shapes are very impressionistic.

Interesting tool. The image is truecolor, not indexed, probably the reason the tool reports an unusual color number. I did a Save From Web... from Photoshop, and I looked at the PNG in a hex editor and half the file is xml garbage Photoshop adds. I'll see if I can make PS not do that. And I'll go see if I can get more info on the forums. Thanks!

Ok, thanks for the info, I'll make a sprite instead. Should I delete this and re-post it so that it can get approved? Are you the 'approver'? :)

Thanks for the info jalonso, i'm new to this. So I've reduced the art to 8 colors and removed the bg. I don't know what you mean by the difference between a portrait and a sprite. Is that really the background?
