--The guidelines to the challenge--
We're already half way through the month of November, so I'd like to suggest an easy but rewarding challenge. Some of my favorite pixel art when I was growing up came from Phantasy Star III, particularly the menu portraits. My challenge would be to pixel a portrait using the limitations of that game:
Canvas Size: 64x64px
Palette Size: 12 colors
Background: Solid color, no scenery.
End Date: Friday, November 30th. 11:59 est

Some examples that Iain provided from Phantasy Star III:

Once again I apologize for forgetting about posting this month's challenge. This one should be fun, and fairly doable in the two weeks that are left, so get pixeling.
Also, Thanks very much Iain.
PS III is a fairly interesting game, but it is pretty dull moving between towns and that, and its story is fairly weak in places. Its "Generation" feature in which you can pick who you continue the game with is something that I don't believe has been attempted since, which is a shame because that was one of the things they got right in that game.
The PS series in general is very much a levelling RPG, most of the game will be spent fighting pretty generic random battles against a rather small range of foes.
