RECIPE:

 

1 medium sized demon head, removed from neck.

 

1 lb. aged cheddar cheese, shredded

 

1 tsp. butter

 

1/4 cup whole milk

 

1 piece white bread

 

Toast the bread and butter liberally.

In a saucepan, mix shredded cheese and milk and melt over medium-low heat until consistent.

In a pre-greased 8x9 cake pan, roast the demon head for one hour at 450' F.  Check for doneness with a toothpick.

Place demon head on toast and cover with cheese sauce.

Serve hot and enjoy!

 

 

 

You're only using 3 shades on the main part of the demon's head, the eyes would be shrunk further into the skull as it's presumably dead so there wouldn't be as many shadows under the eyes as from the horns we can tell the light's coming fromabove.

 

EDIT: This is what I meant, cba finishing. The teeth could also do with some definition from the cheese.

 

 

 

Okay, I've ditched almost all of the the dithering - not because dithering is bad it's just that next to Jeremys edit my dithering just wasn't in the same league and I'm not proficient enough to fix it at this point. 

I've fixed the spelling (how embarassing). 

I've also added a neck... who removes the neck and jaw when cooking?  It looked stupid IMO. 

I've also added two more shades to the main head and removed the eyes as they were distracting.  The nose area is left flat as I'd originally intended it to be just two breathing holes like on a skull and not an actual nose.

 

Thanks for the suggestions and for taking the time to make edits, it's really appreciated.  I only hope that my re-edit shows that I'm listening and trying to improve.

 

That demon atm looks like it'd get bullied by all the other demons for being bright cyan in colour, could use a little desaturisation and hue shiftage. If you work on the teeth a bit more to make them pearlescent (Which they semi-do atm) it'd look otherworldlyly cool :D

 

Well, the dithering on your pieces seems to work, I'm envious.

 

I was going to do a typical red-ish demon but found a saved pallete I'd done and not wanting to be sterotypical and being lazy got together and voila, cyan demon.  Hue shifting is, like dithering and AA, something at which I've not yet gotten decent.  I've read the tutorials but, like everything, it takes doing it to really figure out what you're doing.  I'll play with the teeth and see what I can do.  Thanks for all the help! :)

The first pic is a straight colour swap, the second me going crazy xD

(By the way, I reckon my pixeling ability has improved immensely through editing others' stuff- thanks!)

 

 

Is it dithering in general that you hate or just my dithering?  I had it without, originally, but the transitions between colors was too jarring and I didn't want to just start throwing more colors in there as I was already at 27 and it seemed to be getting out of control.

 

It was a conscious choice to have a non-proportionate skull for this piece, I wanted it to be skull-ish but not human in any way.  I could have gone with an anatomically correct skull but it wouldn't have been as "demon" or as cartoonish as I was trying to get.  Thanks for the link though, really nice sketches - reminds me of my skeletal analysis textbook from college (I was in charge of skeletal identification at the museum at university senior year).
