2nd pixel :: Pixel Art Detail

WTF it must have took yearS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ouch ouch, those veins really hurt the eyes, you know, especially since they all have the same brightness regardless of where in the body they are; I mean, those in shadows should be a bit darker...

Ouch, ouch.

I find the anatomy very disturbing on this, especially with those ugly veins all over the place. The dithering is executed very well though.

2D? That's more than that, man, That 3D, and I love how you did the dithering to make it look 3D.

Good shading work but has some problems with the anatomy, and the face seems plane in comparision with the body

Its scarey. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... oh well done kavorka...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

very cool....but I don't like the eyes

I agree that there is an anatomy issue with the chest, but I think the dithering is really smooth, and the lighting is pretty consistent, which I find is difficult with anatomy, even if you've got a reference. I also like the texture if the hair, very nice.

I thought this was a photograph at first.

Amazing job. <3

Here is my reference drawing.  Hence the word "reference", so don't expect a replication.

Please critique.  I'm up for suggestions, not accusations.

ok cool, how long did this take btw?

Thanks for your critiques.  Looks like I have to scan and post the reference drawing.    Oh, I said I was a noobie hoping you guys would go a little easy on me, obviously not.

Why would you emphasise that you're a n00b and this is your second pixel, even if it is and you are? Would you like a prize?

The viens are sooo random and horrible. The actual piece is nice, although there are obvious problems that have been pointed out. I can't understand why you'd add the veins when i can guess it'd look ok without them. Well, i can understand... but i wouldnt like to say, being as nice as i am.

to honest though zak your notebook pixel is quite believable as your 3rd. however the dithering on this just seems too perfect. and even if you did make this, that anatomy is screwed up. whats going on with the pecs?

I find it easy to be your second pixel - my third pixel is the notebook face (or whatever i called it) and it doesnt look that bad. Its just a question of looking at many different works by different people. Anyways - i dont like the pixel. Its pretty wierd, the weins are very sharp, some aa or dithering around them would soften them up.. after all veins only slightly push up the skin! Also i dont like the huge lump on his chest... I dunno i think the piece lacks an idea and the whole dithering is astonishingly crappy and simple...

color reduction to the max.. there is no chance this is your second piece.

The anatomy is horrible, it looks like an abomination. An I find it extremely hard to believe that this is your seccond pixel.
