Wow. a really nice dithering job on that beard, my friend.  You seem to be improving quite rapidly. (compared to your other threads? i guess?)

I think maybe add 1 more colour to the stomach, maybe 2. But don't dither with them, just do some AA'ing, otherwise you'd end up with a texture similar to the beard. Also, i'd remove the stripes from the peg-leg and make it more like a wood-texture.

The shading on the belly and the legs is a little off - if I have time tonight I'll edit. Until then, there are a bunch of other people that worked with that lineart in the lineart thread, go check to see how they shaded.

The beard looks nice, and I really like the colors.  :y:

thanx. i agree, every time i do i new pixel art, im amazed at how much better it is than the last one.  practice practice practice in action.

and for the peg leg, i agree, i was fooloing around,zoomed in, and i didnt know what it would look like. then i zoomed in and i was like"ew."
it needs to be redone.

im not sure where i should add color to the stomach. do you mean add 1 to use as an AA color, or a whole nother layer of shading?


@Akzidenz- ya i still need to work on lightsources, and shading. i dont really have it down to a science....yet...

you are gettin much better,  ;) .. with the pegleg maybe have the stripes vertical istead of horizontal??

with your palette Id love to see a bit more warmth to your skin, just tweak your darker shades slightly more to the red..

haha beard's lookin good.
I've not got anything interesting to type here..

I'd suggest you sort that gut out. The lighting on it seems a tad strange.
