C64 Cyclops

[Ryumaru]

a pic i started about 2 months ago that has lain dormant for about 3 weeks.
really going for an interesting piece, i chose random dithering because the dither rows are much more apparent with double wide pixels
c+c welcome, although this piece isnt the highest thing on my priority list right now
enjoy

I really can't make sense of what I am looking at.

It's a jawless dude with a single, pupilless eye. The shaded part is the pec, and there seems to be a tentacle/spike coming from the neck/shoulder area.
I think it looks pretty sweet so far, but I think the spiked/tentacled part could/should be moved inward some more, for less of a bulge when it comes down to meet the tricep(?).

[Helm]

oh! I see it now. I think you should go with ordered dither that fades into random dither. Dithering needs a lot of new aproaches in widepixels.

It looks similar to your fighter spirte included in your sig in the left hand corner.

- It seems like that large, seemingly meaningless mass of flesh on his shoulder with the spike would really restrict the movement of his arm verticaly.

sorry i didnt explain, yes he is jawless, and he will have a pupil later and that is actually a twisted horn growth( hes the first boss in a game concept i have )
it actually comes out of his trapezius, which is a muscle that goes along your upper back and supports your neck.
hmm, orderd dither fading into random sounds fun, me being a c64 noob i dont know many techniques so i just go with the flow really.
thanks for the comments peeps, i usually dont get so many posts this quick!

Underlying probable skull geometry and physiology of the body. Maybe of use.
