    Lovely dithering technique on a challenging medium. Keep it up!

    Very hesitant to offer any criticism (cause who the hell am I) but the hat doesn’t stand out from the background as well as you’ve done for the rest of your subject.

      Tl;dw
      CGA 4 color 320×200 mode could produce a lot more colours on a NTSC screen.
