I posted this in the gallery and it was suggested I shade it. I don't normally shade my work, but thought I'd give it a go. Comments and crits welcome: Original:  Thanks to FrostPumpkin for a bit of inspiration (see link in Frost's gallery comment, couldn't get link to work here).  |

| I think it has more clarity and crispness without the shading. |

you just have too many pixels going on there. on a larger piece the aa and dither would work beautifully, but on something small, you should be a bit cleaner to keep up the clarity and crispness just a quickie. I think this palette needs more contrast. I'd made the highlight brighter, but it's still not quite enough I had a minute to play with the colors more:   my edit on the left.. hope i helped a tad. ------------- |

Lawrence: Thanks, I like my original as well, and stand by it. My other
hobby is 3D modeling and rendering. I like pixeling because it doesn't
have to be photoreal and perfectly shaded. I like to keep it as simple
as possible, but still convey my original idea. However, the shading
has been a fun little project.  Leel: Wow! I'm glad people like my work enough to spend some of their own time on it. I'm diggin' the jowels. Nice job!Here's an update with a little more contrast:   Let's see if I can get FrostPumpkin's shading here as well:  (it worked!)

| That last one works very well, the perfect blend between the two initial styles. |
