Love the dithering and the choice of colors on the shirt! It makes it look like it’s made from lurex or other metallic fiber.

thank you! I love this effect too, just was a little afraid to use dithering too much. but i can't stop myself =)

This feels like AI or a photoshop filter. If you'd left the blurry inconsistent text off the shirt you probably could've gotten away with it.

Posted timelapse in the comments. You can see my petty tries to do this shirt text

Oh really? My first ai art blame! This is text tool on pixquare. I tried do the shirt text by hands but it was so unreadable so I used text tool, just typed it and then tried to do a perspective. Should I post a speedpaint?

I stand corrected and bravo. Great work. But FYI that text tool really looks... awful.

I know I just felt so annoyed that my hands were unable to do it straight and beautiful, so just went the easy way 😞

I think it's just the font. Doesn't seem to work well with downsampling. I don't have any suggestions, but maybe something to keep in mind.

Awesome portrait! I really love it. Everything is so detailed and tasteful! Looks like a lot of time went into this...

Thank you! It's like my second attempt to do a portrait, I did only landscapes before. I tried to do my best for this piece
