Hey guys, I've been playing around with the idea of redoing my portrait, since the current one is starting to annoy me. What do you guys thing of this new one? better or worse?

I don't know if it's just me, but the hair looks weird. Not as in the color or shape, but the coloring itself. Almost as if it had black/grey lines here and there that don't fit. At all.
Other than that, looks good.

Agree with Matis. Also I like the fact the head looks just right for the body.

I redid it in bitmap format and it looks more crisp and finished now. Are those grey lines gone now?

Still kinda makes me think that there's something wrong with my computer's color pallet but otherwise I like it.

Yes. And the "grey lines"(I lol at myself right now. I posted that at 2:30 AM, so it's kind of understandable, though) were actually made by you saving it as a JPG image. JPG in Paint tends to screw up images a lot.
I've heard this was fixed in Vista's Paint(or at least somewhat), but I can't say for sure.

Nah, Vista hasn't fixed it because both were done in Vista. The first was in jpeg and the second in 24-bit bitmap.
So what does everyone else think overall, better or worse than my current pic?

I'd have to say better, though I'm still used to the old one, but oh well.

Better, but too bad you lost the scarf. I liked the scarf.

Scarf? It looks more like the upper part of a shirt to me. You know, one of those cozy, warm shirts with extended/turtle-like necks.
Either way, yes, it did add some personality. Also, bitmap(BMP) =/= bitmap(PNG).
When someone says "bitmap", he/she is generally referring to the extension in the case of images. At first I thought you had saved it as a BMP(which is crazy, considering the image and it's use).

Actually, I did save it as a bitmap (BMP) and its still in my pictures folder in that format but for some reason, imageshack changed the extension to png. No idea why. Oh yeah, and what scarf? lol. EDIT: I moved out of home recently so I no longer have photoshop and I can't make my own transparent gifs anymore. I cut this pic to the dimensions I want, does someone want to transparent-gif this for me?

Ok, so the text is really small. Deal with it.

I realise that captain obvious. I was referring to the fact that I AGREE with you. It's not a scarf, it's a turtle-neck shirt.
