	Assorted minor edits. It's at around this point I start being unsure as to what the next step is. And that's in a monochrome image; Palette choosing's a whole other can of worms. I've somehow utterly failed to hammer a practical grasp of color theory into my brain at school. Edited by bobusdoleus - 22 August 2011 at 1:31am

	No comments, huh? Have I offended somehow? (Also, I'm allowed to self-bump if there's updated content, yes? That seems to be consensus?) Now it's been some dental work and vague attempts at dithering. Alternatively I could be adding more shades of value, not sure which the correct direction is.
