Hey guys.
Well, I'm Egyptian, so I figured I could make a pharaoh avatar. :P
 That's it so far. I'm not sure about the palette for the thing hanging down from his chin, so I'd like help for that. Also, I'm stuck on how I'm gonna do that thing that goes around his face.

I'm not really focusing on the color count, by the way. =/
Thanks. =)

You are Egyptian and you don't know what the chin thing and head thing are called. You shall be cursed for a thousand years.
*looks fine add the head thing. I would also change the red BG to something neutral so that the palette colors can be refined. I think the red is throwing off the nice colors : /

Hahah.
Alright, I'll change the background and add the "head thing".
Any advice on the chin?

Good start.
By comparing the piece with the reference, the two most obvious things I can see that are off is the ear positioning and the lip style.
The ears should get lowered by 3 or 4 pixels and the lips should be full and voluminous like in the reference, not just shown as a line as they currently are.
As far as advice on the chin goes. I think the thing attached to it, should be a bit less pointy at the lower end and the lighted area to the left and right of the mouth could be more roundish and less triangular (as seen in the reference).

The ears are way too big but It seems pro. Wish you luck with it (hahuha?).

amerup's last post in this thread was almost four months ago. It doesn't look like he's planning on finishing this. Please don't bump old threads.
