i don't really know what to do with your comment, midwestboyintexas.
"the same result" pertaining as to what?
surely not the motif as this would be true at (nearly) any size.
and by defintion you're not talking about the resolution.
so if i'm guessing what you mean with "the same result" is something along the lines of "sufficently similar to illicit the same reactions in the beholder"?
next thing that isn't clear is the "much smaller size". since you mentionend it, if i use scrolling as a reference i would have to divide the size of the image to around a fifth of its size to completely fit the image and the key-bars onto my screen. that to me would certainly count as "much smaller". but i put it to you, that if you show the original image and the reduced version to 100 people and ask them, which one they like better, you will not get a majority of answers in the vain of "what do you mean better? there's no difference".
On a more subjective note: i started out with a lot(!) more details in my first drafts

WELL excuse me for commenting on your picture !!! if you can't take the feedback, maybe you should refrain from posting anything else .. as for me, I will be skipping over your next entry, as not to hurt your fragile ego

no worries mate, no egos have been hurt at any point - i just tried to explain to you, why i thought your comment was invalid. maybe try to read it again in a calm and collected voice instead of the ranty one you seemingly have perceived in your mind. or don't. cheers anyways

... (that in your view might have warranted the larger format?) but had to reduce a lot of that because of the sites restrictions (no more than 50 alternations between colorblocks per line/collumn). if you take a look at the key-bars you can see that i'm right at the edge of that in lines as well as in collumns. and you may recognize, that these edge-cases are clustered around the face in particular. that is no coincidence. in order to stay within the boundaries, i reduced details wherever else i could in order to keep as much fidelity as possible in the facial expression since that was my main intended focus here. so to me personally a "much smaller size" would not have yielded the "same result" at all. i took great pains to fight for every single pixel to keep her facial expression as detailed as possible (and it is a huge effort that takes up hours since the site only tells you, that you are over the limits but not in which line/collum and you have to count them each individually).
spoiler
at the end it is a tradeoff between tediousness and fidelity and i for my part lean strongly towards the latter. but i guess, that comes down to personal preference. but maybe i completely misunderstood what you meant? let me know if that's the case.
otherwise i'm happy you at least enjoyed the challenge.
cheers, mate.
(and in case you're not doing so already i would strongly encourage you to use the beta-version of the site and it's features which eliminate a whole lot of the scrolling issues on larger puzzles)

Nooooooooooooo :-)
This was a very cool challenge, it took me almost 8 hours. Awesome.
One tip though: the colour differences between some greys and browns are too small and they are easily confused with one another.
Also, I do not follow the weird conversation above, just live and let live I guess

monitors all over the world have slight differences in how they display the colours and it's near impossible to get it right for everyone. if you have problems with this again in the future try using the beta version of the site - in the settings is an option at the bottom to use a custom palette. cheers
Thanks for the very pleasant puzzle with a perfect picture Hackepeter.
I started from the newest puzzles and going backward (whenever new puzzles are added, I give them priority). I'm not sure whether you published other puzzles in the past, but I'm sure that I will look forward to see new puzzles from you.
Thanks again.

Das war eine Herausforderung. Trotzdem ein sehr schönes Puzzle. Ich habe einige Stunden gebraucht. Ich mag diese großen Puzzle sehr und löse sie bereits seit einigen Jahren. Früher konnte man die obere und die linke Zeile einrücken und konnte sich das nervige scrollen ersparen. Ist das technisch nicht mehr möglich?

wenn du die beta-version der seite benutzt (in den einstellungen gibts eine entsprechende option) kannst du diese funktion im vollbildmodus nutzen

3 hours to complete. I was convinced that this was Tifa until I got to the sleeves and turtleneck.
