It was questionable to us. You are new and we don't know your work to have something to judge by. It seems to me, however, that the 149 colors used couldn't possibly be all hand chosen and placed. This is especially seen inside the iris and where the top of the lid meets the eye area. The lightest pixels right underneath the eyebrow look like tell tale signs of CG artifacts. The 3 grey pixel in the highlight of the lower lid simply don't make sense and I can't imagine any pixelartist stopping there to change colors 3 times manually for something that isn't even having an effect of any kind. It just didn't pass my inspection and would need to be shown by you where I made an error in judgment and assestment.

Everything is always up for discussion and we do sometimes make mistakes on pieces so its great that you ask instead of just being insulted, hurt, offended or w/e.
