Self-Portrait
 

I have always wanted to make one of myself so I did. I decided to make it abnormal. Enjoy.

im sorry, but that looks like a color reduction to me,
or just very nice work.

Not a color reduction, silly.

It would kinda look like it to me, but knowing his skills and looking closely, it really looks like pixelart.

I've never seen a camera take a picture and give only small pixels like that.

okay, soz, pick the very nice work option please, xD

Very nice, you got a link to the referance image?

Pastel effect, saved as a low-bit BMP, recolored, with the background seperated. No arguments.

I don't get it...thats not the same person...

I actually shrinked the image and traced it. I didn't do the line art all on my own, I'll admit that. I did color it though and you can obviously see some AA in there. This took me a while so I did it until I was satisfied with it. I used no filters to do this, it was all in MSPaint.

I figured as much.

I have a problem with the colors. This needs higher contrast from the highlights down to the shadows.

Aside from the value, the colors themselves are getting to me a little bit. The color scale is not continuous; from dark to light it splits off into blue purple, red purple, and the lightest color which is more gray than the rest of it (above all else I don't like that gray) Having the pallet split is fine, but the colors are mixed among each other which makes for a strange transition from one block of color to the next. To illustrate what I mean, I took the image into photoshop and cranked the saturation. It shows how the colors do not smoothly switch around.

I tried my hand at making it with higher contrast and smoother transition...and also one with a bit of red light

y so serious....

Put a smile on that face! >:3

Here is an edit of Clockwork's edit. I dithered some to make it look better. I guess it looks a bit better, also without the huge eye.

Another edit. Luls, I am really bored.

>:3

I has a flavor?

Nuh, but you can haz 1 cheezburgah.

++rep for interesting threadz.

Nice xD
Was fun looking at the pictures.

I fixed the dithering a little and added some skin color along with a nose.

Nice looks pretty sick, but i find the purple background sorta feels wrong for a dark kinda picture.
Iunno just my thought
