Here's my entry for the fantasy self-portrait challenge: me as a faun or satyr.  Admittedly, me as a faun is not that different than me in real life, except the horns, the goatee (which I sadly don't have in real life), and the fact that in reality I am usually not shirtless.  This was my first pixel art in a long time...I really enjoyed it. 

Here is the reference photo I used for my facial features and pose:

As you can see, I borrowed heavily from this picture (because I'm not great at pixeling my own face).  Here are some WIPs to show that I'm not a tracing nub:

Looks great, though I think the perspective of the portrait and the background is different (it looks as if you were falling). The horns are a bit hard to see, I'd enlarge them or place them on the forehead. Great colors. My favourite part is the background.

Great colours and background and good likeness.
Could perhaps do with a bit more AA. Particullarly the hair looks a bit noisy and could be softened with an under used between colour (light orange), and the jaw line.
