Can I put two characters of the same stereotype in the portrait?
Or backup characters? for example a mad scientist and a mouse. Edited by DanielHyaku - 15 December 2008 at 9:57am |

I'd rather you didn't have multiple characters in the image. It is supposed to be a portrait of a single character.
But if you do feel that you need to put other characters in the image you should make it extremely clear which one is intended to be the main character. |

Antiboton, the rules state 16 colours exactly- no more, no less. Here's mine:
![]() Not really happy with the colours though :/

I'm not happy with your colours either :P
You seem to tend to use alot of washed out warm colours. I think if you open up your palette a bit and experiment, you might find a good balance. |

How do you like it now? It's a bit cooler with more of a hue shift in the clothing. Any other advice?

I took a closer view at your image. you actually have 19 colours on that ... hmm. There are 3 colours that are only single pixel. Easy enough to find.
It seems a jumbled mess of random shading. Very confusing to see how you created this. It is, of course, a matter of taste, so I won't go further if you don't think there's anything off with it. Back to the colours though, there seems to be a huge waste of them. It looks like colours were thrown in just to get the count up to 16. Rethink your colour issue by adding up how many colours could be used for each defined area. Example:
I also suggest taking a look at the following guide/tutorial and noting the hue shift and colouring notes: http://www.itchstudios.com/psg/art_tut.htm |

I feel like I should say something...
Generally, a portrait is considered to be focused on the face. I won't refuse it if it isn't strictly so, but it will definitely make it easier on you for approval purposes as well as what goes down when voting time comes. Case in point is when you google "portrait" |

Another reminder to recheck your submissions to make sure that they live up to the challenge guidelines... ESPECIALLY the colour amount: 16 exactly! no more, no less. Your submission can and will be sent back for revision should they not meet challenge requirements. Don't let yourself down by being a lazy bum and not reading everything.
