Weird portrait

My new avatar at Pixel Joint...what do you guys think?



EDIT:changed the black outline on the shirt to a dark grey and llightened the highlight on the hair.

It doesn't look to me like it needs more contrast at all o_O. It looks great the way it is.

This is cool. Yes, lighten hair highlight minimally, and lighten the darkest outline. Optionally, add darker shade color to hair around neck? Avoid black outline for shirt. Maybe use the darker gray shade instead. Darken the neck just below the chin/jawline.

please restate for the record that you consider your avatar to be traditionally created pixel art.

My avatar is traditionally created pixel art!

you must really love to bother people about that, dont ya? I think you also did it with purple monkey on PJ... besides, it has nothing to do with the topic. if you have any problem about that you should've sent me a message. :-\

Yes, yes I do. And on this forum I am a moderator.

Post reference pic, please.

oh, btw: the sprite is good. You're wasting a buffer shade between the main skin shade and the next darkest. You could easily take it out with no loss at all. Like the subtle animation too.
