Cute character, funny panel. You've got a good deal of banding going on on the character himself where he's in shadow--the dark outline hugging the line of light pixels. Honestly, I'd consider greatly reducing or eliminating as much outlining as you can. If you think about it, you don't really need it when you're making an entire scene.

Crap! That's why I need the C&C hehe.

@Hatch: Check, but that problem will be solved since I need to make a portrait..

@Walrus: Check, I'm doing it over. Bye bye banana joke tho..

p.s. Or maybe I'm keeping it and skip the challenge this week

I would classify that as a portrait.
I like it and even your first version that was not a portrait are cute and you should make something out of it. My only crit is that the mustache is not POPin enough for the challenge. Its fine if its not a challenge tho. Maybe the monocle can move left 1px ans the stache can be in the dark blue???

Like:                    Or:


Not sure if it's POPping enough now tho. I might enlarge it a bit, put some curls on the end. But I really like the facial expression it has right now.

And yea, those cute little men.. You'll be seeing a lot of them later on haha

I was thinking about enlarging it in total.. but that kinda is like cheating (yes I'm too lazy to start over and make it bigger pixel by pixel.

Once you have a plan, it is really no work at all. Really. You could even resize the old on e and trace it. But it is worth it!

Don't be that lazy!

My lazyness tells me that the enlarged pic looks surprisingly good too.. 
I'll try to smoothen it out, but I'm not making any promises hehe

Just decided to drop out of the challenge and finish it as a scene. Liked it better the way it was.

Don't!

The traditional moustache monocle tophat combination is way to funny for that!

Exactly, and that's why I'm dropping out and use the classical banana peel gag. It will be in the gallery Lollige.. Snap out of it!!
