the other pixel art, as in the one of the topic you locked. and those shades arent burning your retinas because of their color, its the colors nearthem that make it do that. i kinda like it like that. it makes things "pop out" at you. and if your eagerly awaiting the progress on this you might be a bit dissapointed im lazyier than rip van winkle. plus im working on some other things(deff. not as big tho)

ima post it as a wip this time, so my random dithering and madman colorchoice wont be called a reduced cg
i dont know if ill ever finish it soon, but im going to try. if you have crits post them now while im not to fed up with it 

im not going to argue about this, but i really did pixel it. if you want me to i could post a cg i did do of this hcaracter that uses the same lineart as this. teh unorthadox dithering: random dithering just by using the pencil tool over the place. the red in the hair bangs,thought it made it look more like strands of hair but i guess im wrong. and the ugly blue and green colors in the hair was my sad attempt at a sort of ambient light look. open it up in a program and youll definitely see faults in my aa and other tecqniques.

hmm, on the collar and part of the shirt you blended teh shadows in a way that looks bleh,also the hair could be shaded better. in the middle of the clumps of hair have some shading to suggest individual strands.

if someone tried doing something in your style, they would probably have to use a good bit of aa to make everything as smooth as yours. but on most things(like the cheek and the hoody) there is no aa what so ever, but your lines and color are done so well it already looks smooth.
