Pixel Art Challenge: 22 To Rule Them All


icon

Are you playing Diablo right now? Maybe an annual rewatch of LotR? Whatever you are doing, if it has rings in it, PJ Weekly Challenge is here for you. This week we are making rings or signets.


Draw two different rings as game items. They may be tiny and clean - apropriate for a low res pixel art game, but you can go all out and paint some more detailed inventory illustrations, up to 100x100px each. They may be completely original ideas or pixellated versions of rings from existing games with cool ring designs - like Dark Souls, or any other rings from any other media.

But this would be too easy right? That's why this will also be another one of those random palette type challenges. You have to use the Jevelry_22 palette, which is a compilation of colours named by metals, gems and other jevelry components. And of course, to make an easy way out of 1bit image unavailable, you have to use at least half of the colours.

 Well, I can't say I would recommend you try it in all honesty, but it does seem to allow for some interesting stuff with the greys

Also, I remember I was blown away with what people could do in animals_14 and flowers_18 challenges.

You are successfully baiting me to try it out myself.

I don't know gawrone, I don't know... I'm playing around with it and your claims don't seem to hold up

I don't know what you are talking about It has "black" and "white", a very decent grey ramp, a pretty usable yellow ramp, some nice colours in two tones each. What else you need from a palette? I'm sure not only you can make it work

Painful looking palette on first glance
