Eghhhh? Why the low self-esteem, mister? ╯;︷;╯(-random japanese smiley insertion here, hahaha.-)
"Mind the ugliness"? I see no ugliness! I SEE A VERY DISTINCT FACE THAT IS DIFFICULT TO FULLY BE RENDERED IN ITS AWESOMENESS.
-cough- Now, I'm going to let my edit speak for itself first. Moment of silence, pls.

Alright, now, your hair is spiky, and I tried to depict that here. I personally like the colours, and would think your portrait would look quite epic with it. I just want to ask a few things. Do you really think your face is chubby? In actuality, your face is quite slender, with lips that do not bloat, as shown in your example, but instead taper at the corners, as shown by mine. Also, your chin is much more defined, and it has (at least, from a picture) a slight dip to it.
Also, your dither was too much like speckle dither, that did not unify colours but instead just made things look noisy. In actuality, especially the one at the lips, I thought you were doing The Joker and was about to say 'oh, not another!' xD Also, please show your pretty peepers there! In your portrait, I could not see your eyes at all. Sometimes, a person's eyes are the most distinctive feature of their face.
