Wonderful! Even at this size you were able to put in the effort to use every single pixel to the max! Which works great on the hair, the little details and the simple but great working dithering on the skin!

 Very detailed! It almost looks like a picture!

 

I gotta say, great!

Very nice! My only crit is that the tattoos doesn't really look as if they are following the contours of her face.

Her hair is fantastic!

Wow, the dithering on this piece is beyond amazing. Very smooth. Awesome job.

i forgot to mention that i find this absolutely fantastic, much better that anything i could do :)

Well done, I really like this! I think the dithering works really well. Looking at it, I'd expect a higher color count. Nicely done!

" Stunning" is reductive... Totally wonderful, damn good shaded, i really love your dithering!

{ Here's an idea to how to make this a bit less flat, imo.

   Anyway, I love this piece.

Thsi is very beautiful! Its hard to imagine there is only 30 colors when i feel like there is hundreds of them! This is very well done, the shading is so soft and the details ae quite lovely. Espeically the yellow string in the hair

why does this remind me of my own inspiration piece that i uber-dithered XD

 

nice but agreeing with frosty there, dithering is a good technique though but it depends on the surface that you pixel
it is very smooth though except on the clothing

nice work!

Although the shading is maybe a bit too clean, this is an oustanding piece of work!

Yes, Jaeden's challenge. Have fun making your own head. And thanks for your comment, Shannon, you made my day (especially with your mention of the ear) :)

As far as the tattoos are concerned... I hesitated a lot, especially since I didn't manage to find high res references of tattoos on black skin, and still have no idea of how the black ink reflects light. As for the white facial paint, I wish there was such a thing as half pixels, so I could have integrated it better.

Ooh! Looking good! That hair must have taken ages!


user

Thanks, Frost. I'll look into different techniques to try to improve what I make.


user
meririm (Level 1 Depressed) at 4/28/2009 11:32:23 PM

Thank you vert much, Death-Auron. You're absolutely right about the hair - there's too much of it and the roots just don't look right - and I'll have to work on that the next time I attempt braids (that, or turn it into a wig of some kind).

A w e s o m e work on the hair!

...Jaeden's challenge right? I'm still planning what I'm going to do- I have too many ideas,lol. Anyways though, this is an absolutely fantastic piece! My favorite piece of PA in a while actually. The hair is gorgeous and I love the gold accents everywhere, especially in the hair and earrings. I think the only thing that could really use a bit of touching up are the tattoos- while the shape is is attractive they look pretty flat and like they're not actually part of her skin due to the colors you used. Besides that, though, this is great. I like the ear a lot. I definitely see this somewhere on the monthly top PA page :D

Pretty smooth, but I'm sorry to say that I'm not a fan of the dithering style. It's too mechanic.

speachless + fav'd

congrats.


user
Death-Auron (Level 1 Rookie) at 4/28/2009 2:17:06 PM

i love the texture on her hair, and those lovely colors you used! the only thing that bugs me is that the hair looks kind of "added", like a hat or something... it doesnt look like its coming from her. other than that, i love the piece.
