Description
Download to full view!I'm a big fan of Nick Cave. Love his music!
And I haven't done any pixel art in ages and ages so I thought I'd give his portrait a go. Used multiple reference pictures to get his general face shape and basically just guessed; it's not a direct copy of an official image or anything naughty like that.
19 colours all in all. I ended up hunting for two rogue colours that were only used by about 3 pixels each and weren't noticeably different from one of the other colours in the thing; I really don't know how that happens.
Ah well. Just a little something.
Should never attempt pixel art on only 3 hours slightly drunken sleep.
Haha I actually tried to submit this without adding the file at first.

Nooooo, it has a lot of technical flaws in terms of pixelling, I reckon, and if it were subject to the attention of more people, I'd get them all pointed out to me.

Some jagged lines on the nose is the only bad thing i see.

Yep, the nose is jaggy. I'll make sure not to do that next time (if I get round to more pixel work!). Thanks!

Ah! Beautiful and so lifelike! I'm very impressed that you were able to do that pixel by pixel!

I tried to get back into pixelling with this but I do find it irritates me a bit more than it used to, my eyes in particular. I'm not sure why. I'm obviously getting old after two years.

I don't do pixels as much these days really, I find doing digital painting a bit less... well, eye-imploding, to be honest.
