Description
This image has a terribly tragic story behind it.The tragic story of my exile and fall to...traitor-ness. I live in Illinois, near Chicago, where everyone cheers for the Cubs. I, however, cheered for the Atlanta Braves (vs. the Cubs) one day, when my family were watching the game. They exiled me to another room to cheer alone. ;_;
One day, I told them I would choose a Cubs player to marry, and therefore redeem myself. Mark Prior is young, cute enough, talented, and makes a lot of money, so I chose him. And therefore, I present this pixel portrait of my future husband.
I limited this to...50 colors, I think, which made parts very very difficult. I hate the shadow on his jersey, but I'm pretty happy with the rest. Here's the reference I used: [link] (Edit: and yes, this was done pixel by pixel, not by color-decreasing the original image...though I was tempted to do that when the picture began to drive me insane ~_~)

GAH! How could you root for the Braves?! (Just tell me you didn't root for the Marlins...!)
Being a Chicagoan myself, I can completely understand why you'd choose Mark to be your husband. Personally, I would pick Kerry, but he's married...
Anyway, awesome picture. Go Cubbies!

Your pixel realisms were actually a big part of inspiring me to try something like this, I just didn't know who to do a portrait of, until the stuff in the explanation happened. ^_^
