If I had your talent...

Looks almost like a map for Super Metroid 2. 

Really nice.

Monumental.

Another update. I hope I did not forget anything you said, if I did, please be so kind to hint them to me. Eliminated three colors.

Thank you for your support to improve this picture and to tame IrfanView.

So, I did it. Changed a few colors, removed a lot of dithering (left a few), reduced the number of colors from twenty to eighteen. I guess the point why it does not look really 3d is because the banana-shaped light-reflecting areas "don't have a logical form" so that they feel real. That is why I especially hate the helmet now. Suggestions?

Thanks, by the way! :)

Eh, I didn't want to bail out... o_O

Made an update. Hope you like it. :)

If you look into my gallery, you see that I am an amateur, too.

Your works show some nice ideas and potential, even though. So, go on! 

You've done a lot of good animations! 

Wow, "conservation in technique" brings it to the gist of the matter.

But when I tried to do it without dithering, it looked rather like a roof ridge than really round. Happens this due too much contrast between the shades, or is the difference in brightness regardless?

Really really wonderful.

I like this thing, precisely because it has "three contrasting layers" of quality or style (moon, tree, characters). Nice.

First: Thank you! 

You're right, the arms seem short, somehow. I  didn't see it before you said it.

I saw it as a challenge to use a skin-shade for cloth and try to make it seem like cloth, not like muscles or so (his shoulders shrinked twice or so and his waistcoat had to hang more straight down... but now, that I achieved this aim, I can avoid it in future with good conscience.

Limited palette is something I will try the next piece I'll do; something that was also recommended by iLKke in his feature. I used a restricted palette on a piece and it developed much faster (and was more fun). Weird that I didn't came on this idea by myself...

IrfanView: Second attempt to find a working installation file was successful. Thank you for hinting me on it!

And, oh, by the way: It is very adorable that you not only use retro palettes, but that your gals (as on "To the Stars (plus mockup)") are in an 80's anime style. Impressing.

Done. With IrfanView.

BTW: Any recommendation how to make an object seem completely round without using this messy much-dithering?

Did I write shorts? Sorry, I meant shoats.

[OT] Found this picture on German news website tagesschau.de. A picture by Vincent van Gogh, pixeled with polo shorts. 24 colors. Fancy little Japanese people.

Nice idea, Mr Lennon.

Added to favorites... because Tesla was such a maniac.

Really like the colo(u)rs, the idea... the crocodile's mimic.

It's always fantastic to see faked screenshots here that make me want to play these games! ;)

Looks already nice.

You can be verry happy about the details, and, oh, about the curtain too!

Very lovely! 

Really nice. I like the choice of colours and how they "somehow flow in each other".

Agreed with skeddles. Do more. You can do really nice animal pictures (I like your gator and rhino, too).
