CHALLENGE: Tales from the Future

From Parallel Worlds challenge winner Framin comes this week's challenge, "Tales from the Future". Create the Title Screen for a cyberpunk* game.

* Something in good old "Blade Runner", "Neuromancer", "Ghost in the Shell" style.  Think dark streets, razor girls, broken dreams and so on :)

Rules:

• Colors: 32 max. Monochromatic coloring (doesn't have to be greys) + 1 other color.*
• Canvas Size: 320x240
• Transparency: No
• Animation: No

*Sample coloring style showing a monochromatic scheme with a color added. Notice that the extra color has its own ramp.

or as Corpus, put it on a comment below:
I guess it means you can only use two colour 'ramps,' as the OP calls them, and one of them needs to be predominant in the image with the other used only for accenting (sort of thing).

hum... very very wip thing :

this cyborg spartan was designed to look like the great spartan warriors of old and be two time stronger than a human. the ultimate warrior.

My WIP.

gelsamel your work is a 53 colors piece :/ you have to reduce it to participe to the challenge

here's my next wip step :

my program can count the colours of course ^^

I think you should make the text by hand and had AA after

41 colors :s

worked on the hair. decided to make him a bit more human.

what does monochromatic means if it not means gray?

but in fact in this challenge you have TWO colours to use (in different shades), right?

OMG, we have a genious in the house. Couldn't be worded better, so I'm adding to the first post with the rules. Thx corpus.

here is the next stage :
please...crits !!

I've started to make the font for the game title :

setzer can I use your palette ? pleaaaaaase 

in general on a title screen, there is the title of the game or the logo and often we can see "press start" on it

added the building :

thanks raelz for the suggestion ! But the buildings don't shine on the soldier, but the galaxie does !!
what's your opinion ?

I think the devil is a little small for a "godly" ennemi. and to accentuate the godly effect you should add some veins on the face and longers horns, something like that

Well, I like it :-) Maybe if it would shine a little more.. I don't really know, can't really imagine it. Anyway, GJ, I can say that from those 4 we have here so far I would definately pick this in top 3 ;-))))

really great challenge!i ll try do do something :)..if  i finish another pixel i`m working on;) ..and FrostPumpkin ,your entry looks amazing i love the way you made the buildings and galaxies !

↔ You mean, something like this?

 

Of course, not even the rough outline is done. >_< - Have to sleep. -

 

Dude, I'm such a newbie. But yeah, I'm hoping to have more realistic shading. And yeah, critisism so far?

God I don't think I'll even get to work on my stuff with Uni, esp. something new to me.

:P

spartan : aw it's way better ! and the font is really nice now
shinamon : I love the beginning ! the nose isn't perfect but I like it
