uh ok, whatever, I knew coming back to this forum would be a waste of time.
To be honest: I didn't trace/reduce/whatever any of this, I haven't looked at a reference in a while, I grabbed the first "han solo" pic that looked like the one that I first used off google.
I really appreciate you guys are trying to make sure I'm not cheating here, but the fact is, I need help with the hair, not to be called out on some bogus color reduction theory.
and on that note, see ya guys, if anyone actually wants to help me with the hair, being positive and not accusing me of reducing please see me on pixeljoint.
It really sucks that you guys don't give me the benefit of the doubt here.
Oh and one last thing, go color reduce that ref that you posted, and lets see how long it takes you to match what I've done. I'd like to see the kind of color reduction tools that personally put the pixels in where I put them, please.
