Erm, must the depicted reflection be solely physical? Can it be http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introspection - psychical?

can the reflection be how someone sees his or herself (i.e. a little boy sees himself as a bodybuilder)?

A literal reflection, people.

I dare you.
Personally, if I had the time, I'd have the rough reflection of a face in a glossy gun-barrel.

What's this? You dare to dare the dare master?! I daresay I shall attempt this!


except mine will be a different person in a different room, otherwise it'd just be tracing.

If you were planning on doing this one go right ahead. I'm starting to think I might not get it done in time because of all the other things I'm working on @_@

If I do finish it'll be different enough anyways, since I was planning on using ushiko for the person and in a completely different room.

no that's allright with me, like I already said in the pixel joint main page challenge's post I don't know if I'll have time either, since I'm working on various projects. :3

Newby WIP-
Most colors by Dawnbringer (from his 16 color pallet)
Few duplicated colors right now. (forgot to change before uploading :P)
 
Critism/comments are greatly appriciated.
Reference- looking out the window next to the computer.

Here's a start-



I think I'm going to end up using/making up a different character than planned. Also far fewer and different colors than planned. I did have a palette of 20 colors including blues, reds, greens, and yellows, but I might trim it down to just 6-8.

I'm doing this freehand so it doesn't really match the reference 100%. That's how I want it though, so no problem there.
