YO. Loving the color choices, but this piece could totally stand on its own in 1-bit imo. Only thing here I'm not so cool on is the the dithering is a bit too distracting with the big difference in values there.
I still need to watch The Boys, but I'm digging this just as a portrait without knowing anything about it. Great lighting and his expression is very nice. Hair's looking mighty fine too.
Incredible stuff, well done
