Hi there :)
New to pixel art. Coming from a programming/engine design background. Any criticism welcome. I've read a whole bunch of tutorials, but I'm not sure I grasp a lot of the basics yet. ![]() Plus God-rays? ![]() Imade the caustics less WHITE :) ![]() |

I think the last one looks the best. I think your colours are rather weak, though. You seem to be colouring everything the colour that it "is", rather than the way it would actually look. You're also shading with directly darker versions of each hue, without any hue-shifting - this is not only unrealistic, but also looks dull. This detailed tutorial on light may be of interest. You seem to have a decent grasp of form already, so hopefully this tutorial isn't too advanced. Lastly, watch where your areas of high and low contrast are. You have areas of high contrast all over the place so there's no clear sense of what is and what isn't important, and features that probably should be important, such as the characters' faces, have low contrast and are thus difficult to read.

Thanks for the reply :)
I know there's plenty wrong with the colors/palette. I'm used to abedo-coloring and lighting with fragment shaders. I'll give that tutorial a read. Your comment on contrast seems right on the nose... now just to figure out how to fix it :) Cheers! Just a quick edit for contrast's sake. I'm already liking it better. ![]() |
