Moonlight

C64 ALFI, 2 colours per 8x1, 16 colours to use, I used 15, yadda yadda...

There are no ugly colours, only ugly combinations of colours.

I have always liked your work, and I like this one too. :)
I can't see anything wrong with it, mind you, i'm no good at giving C+C :D

I love the way you used the colors to make a awsome moonlight effect.

Her face has a lot of personality, and I love the way the eyes came out.  The change between her face and her hair seems a bit drastic, I think it would benefit from a little AAing.  All in all, very good, she looks like she's going to start talking to me.

Very nice. It's cool to see what people can do out of the general C64 (style?) rules.

This is pretty awesome.  It's like the female version of that Helm portrait  :P.  I like how this piece actually gives off some mood due to the lighting.

Small crits though; the moon looks very jagged, but that's probably a result of the scale lines you have in the sky.  And also, under the lips, and to our left, there's some funky lighting going on that you should maybe look at.

Overall, this is nicely done.  Great job, keep it up.

Oh that is beauuutiful! I really like the background (all the pinetrees makes me feel right at home). For her facial proportions; I really like what you've done. Looks like a portrait of a real person. The eyes are beautiful, and I like how she has some birthmarks/beauty-spots here and there. Although the highlight under the lips looks a bit harsh, and the shine on the lips seem to be of another style. You've used warm yellow to highlight her red lips, although everything else seems to have very cold highlights (moonshine). I'd suggest replacing that colour with something a bit redder or just colder.

i love the lips and skyline the most, but I don't buy the deepest shadow lighting with the scanlines that you've done on her face - on an LCD monitor at least they read as quite a bit brighter than your mid-shadow tones on the rest of the face, which is bizarre.  Do you have a snapshot of this on a TV?  It may look drastically different there.
