Vanja made the foliage perfect this time. :]
The background is truly great, nothing is lacking or overdone about it.
The figure could be better, though, to catch up with the remarkable background for a totally balanced and great picture.
I gave it an 8, partly to compensate a bit for the currently dismal net vote result.

| Hm. Same hairstyle from "Self Portrait with Unicorns". Perhaps another self portrait, sans unicorn(s)? :) |

Lack of eyeballs? Hmm, I wonder what those white things are then. 8) As for the pattern, you are probably right :)

Interesting, but somehow it doesn't appeal to me as much as other experiments! (by other painters and mermaid herself! <:-) Something in the face is off, I don't quite know what it is - the lack of eyeballs or the IMHO unfitting pattern on the forehead, cheek and chin (cheers saehn, so I'm not the only one noticing this! 8)? I don't know. But I do know that Mermaid is known for perfect pixel arrangement, so maybe that's like me trying to do something without antialiasing or Ptoing having huge colored 8x8 blocks in a beautifully pixelled "Alte Schule"? ;-)
I have to say I do love the background though, the style works out beautifully for that!
And no: It neither looks like a bad conversion nor are there many visible colorclashes! colorclashes cause blocks, and there are hardly any in the picture if you look at it more closely (okay, maybe a few on the lower left backgriound)! It DOES have a feel of oil painting though! 8)

Vanja: I never used Koala Paint but I guess there is a "tiny" difference in handling brushes compared to Timanthes :)
Pixelling on PC provides a less "fragmented", more continuous way of painting. The pressure is minimal. Especially when you don't deal/care about the clashes, at least that's what radiates from this work: the accommodating, light strokes. |

Vanja: Sorry, my bad. I have the habit to think about color clashes as something evil. You managed to utilize it.
Now I'm wondering if the same effect could be achieved on a vanilla C64, the old-school way: pixel-by-pixel? :) |

"Emulating" colour clashes? I'm not quite sure what you mean by that?
I decided not to care about colour clashes and just paint, like I'd do in Koala Painter back in the 80's. And yes, it was drawn in Timanthes :) |

In this case, kudos for emulating color clashes so accurately! ;)
Is this Timanthes btw? |

| Very original and expressive image, Dear Vanja! I can see a regular shape coated with very fat dithering sauce where its layers, trickling down, have been accumulating themselves here and there uncompromisingly and then crystallize in the final (yeah, the blocks are visible). Prickly mosaic, full of expression and some LSD colors! /Marcin |

| Cool, meaty. Looks like thick acrylics built up on canvas. The lines/swirls on the forehead are a little distracting for me, they seem so linear compared to the rest of composition. I like the overall color sense. Good work! ;) |

Seems TO ME like someone is trying how far you can go and still be cheered at and labeled "art".
To me, this too looks/feels like some bad conversion (and Im not even anti-conversion in general).. |

Beautiful!
Multicolor is the format! This picture looks very good from a far distance, and gets interesting on a closer look.
Is there some Leon in there, btw? ;) |

Um, seems to me as a quick smudged-brush doodle done on PC and converted to C64 as-is. Sorries :(
As a C64 picture - very nice and fresh, although I'm quite bothered by the malformations which look too much like color-clashes rather than intentional features. |

| When I look at this, I see oils and canvas. The shading style almost lifts it off the screen. Quite interesting - I am all for experimentation. |

| @Groepaz: It might look as a whole lot of different things, but I don't believe it looks like a conversion. More like someone made it with brush-tools in Koala or Advanced Art Studio or some other C-64 equivalent to Painter. |

| I don't quite dig this as much as some of your other pics. The colour clashes give the whole pic an interesting "background noise" and the consistent use of checkerboard fills give the whole thing a very raw paint-brush look. Still a very nice piece overall! |
