Has anyone played the game Snax 'n Jackson on MAME?
Its a really weird/funny game where you are a clown called jackson le bouef or something, you have to bounce your nose off your face and grab food. Worth checking out |

Reo, I knew there would be some evil looking clowns in this challenge...lol That looks great! Nice job on the expression. I'd have to see how it would look, but maybe some dithering on the shirt. I could be wrong on that though.

I did a quick MSpaint sketch yesterday.
![]() Thoughts? The clown will be frowning while riding the unicycle, and the crowd will be in the brown lines in the corner. I love this palette, I've never worked with it before. It's far from done but I have ideas. I had to spend most of my time AAing thet yellow, which proves to be hard. The area inside the yellow lines will be light green and yellow dithered, I think, maybe some brown too. Suggestions? Edited by coran - 03 February 2009 at 8:24am |

I usually sketch it first which speeds things up. also I did ten minuites this morning at 3am (so mabye last night :D) and then did the other ten - twenty minuites when i got in from school, the break helps to stop my getting lazy.
I'm not continuing without some helpful advice now though. |

i'd rather use stronger shades of colors photo, as it really looks weak considering its meant to be a tough, scary situation.

probably referring to higher contrasts, making the shadows darker to make the face more menacing... (parden my spelling) |

Its better but now you need more antialiasing around the creaslines in his forhead and perhaphs darker linework around the edges of the mouth.
Also I assume your not done, but some pink (sort of pink what ever color that is) AA around the teeths edges would be a plus as well.

JoPix,
Not bad at all for your first attempt. I find this palette hard to work with, but I'm new at this too. I like the juggling idea you have there.
I could suggest maybe a shadow on the ground since the light seems to be coming from the right. Maybe more contrast shading on his head. Ears? Hair? Think silly...funny. Just some ideas. Looks good though. ![]() Edited by dpixel - 04 February 2009 at 9:43am |

Just the accumulation of all of my sketches.. I wasn't sure how to go about this, at all. I figured I might play with it though. It's not done yet, I'm not sure what to do about the outlines yet.

I haven't entered one of these in ages, but I thought I'd give it a shot since I haven't really tried using the C64 palette before. I'll keep posting updates as I get them done:
