Description
Video of *most* of my process: [link]Phew, so much work put into something which I consider obscenely large for a simple portrait. At least I know how much trouble it takes to make something this big.
*realizes that I would want to manually resize this in case people want to use this at a different size*
┻━┻ ︵ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ︵ ┻━┻
Can't be bothered to resize this for now since I wanna move on. Maybe later when I'm feeling too uninspired to work on something else anyways.
If you pay very close attention, you can probably notice that the version I uploaded here is not the same as the one in the video as my recording software hiccupped and I lost some some data during a recording session that I took after I felt finished. Couldn't be bothered as everything else that happened after the last successful recording was mainly minute perfectionism which I'm not even sure if people want to watch anyways. Eh.
As for people who know me as a guy who makes icons for people to use, you may use this as an icon as long as you don't claim credit for yourself or uploading it somewhere as if it's your own work. Don't be surprised if trying to use this as a size that's not 150x150 gets you a blurry icon though.

Oh wow this artist is absolutely astounding as well, there is so much detailing and realism
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Even more intersting as Fool mainly just draws stupid simple shapes that ends up in hyper-detailing.

i saw the speedpaint, and i was wondering, is the program you used free?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's not a speedpaint, that term tends to be confused with a video of somebody drawing but sped up.
And yes, the program that I used is free. It's graphicsgale. There's a full-version but you don't need full-version features to do what I did. Be aware that software doesn't teach you drawing skills though.

Do you take commissions for pixel art like this? It's beautiful!

Heh. Look at the shades. I was a bit lazy with the checkerboard dithering so it's pretty visible. Not all pixel art uses that, but if you see it, it's a clear sign that it's pixel art.

ya i noticed that but you did so good on everything else it was counter-balanced

What's with the dithering in the glasses? 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It was some attempt to create a gradient.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Perhaps use more dithering patterns as intermediaries between 50/50 and solid colors, perhaps? It's a lot easier on the eyes.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Oh wait, disregard what I said. I forgot about the weird highlights on the lens. Yeah, I was feeling a little lazy.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Wouldn't that create noise, another potential issue for critics to be potentially nitpicky over? The way I see things, it's either a 50/50 dither that doesn't create noise, or I ease the transitions with something that's probably unavoidably noisy. The only way I can think of making it 'easier on the eyes' is adding more colors to lessen the contrast between the dithers.

very awesome! I really love how you worked in all those fine details, they look stunning

THIS IS EPIC!
Facebook "pictures need to be at least 180 pixels*
>Blurry
If you're in photoshop, check the general settings tab, there is resizing options in there
That, or Sketch/Skew in paint :/

Unless there's some breakthrough in technology I'm not aware of, scaling pixel art does weird stuff to its quality as explained here: [link]
I think the best that could be done is just scale the portrait by a factor of two so it's a 300x300 image
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, its always good to keep things on a certain scale
I found this recently [link]

... I come back and you keep doing bigger and more interesting stuff. I guess when they say the sky's the limit, they're being sincere.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Reminds me of when I said that I know that things will get better back when I thanked everyone for the attention that I hardly anticipated. I didn't even think I would be making stuff of this quality let alone in just a few months, and I don't even know where I'll be headed in the future with this sort of pace that I'm trying new stuff and learning new things along the way.
Eh... the future. It's just so hard to predict.
