New animation! Plus various tweaks to neck and nose....

Also made the skin highlights not pure white.

the eyes probably could use some highlights, superquickedit:

But yeah, this is pretty nice as is, tehwo.

(I've been calling you tehwo, sorry if this is presumtive.  :sry: There's a part of my brain set aside that just makes it up as it goes along. There's nothing I can do about it, you'll have to be tehwo now.  ;))

Oooh... I like what you've done with the eyes! They were giving me trouble.

Haha, tehwo is cool with me, I guess. :P Thanks!

I'd say this piece suffers from overuse of and unnecessary dithering.  If you use dithering improperly your image will often look grainy/textured were there isn't any grain in real life (ie skin is smooth).  An edit to show you what i mean:

Your's on the right mine on the left.
Take the time to look at how your a piece would be without dithering and ask yourself if it's necessary or not and if it isn't don't do it.
Other than that good job at rendering the forms of your face.  :y:

[offtopic] This: http://www.wayofthepixel.net/pixelation/index.php?topic=4265.0 should answer all of your questions.[/offtopic]

Maybe some AA on the shirt against the blue?

Update! Attempted hair.... I think the shading could be much improved.

Very nice!

I think the 45 degree angle on the shoulders is a bit much near the very bottom. Maybe make the last few pixels angle down instead?

Nevertheless, this is some great work, it pops out without being annoying, and you actually have an expression, and aren't giving a blank stare  :y:

Shoulders better now? I think so? Also added a blink. :P

I didn't like the highlights on the hair though, so I'll be redoing them.... Tips anyone? Edits would be muchly appreciated.
