are we allowed to use other people's palettes?

WIP.



Highly inspired from the character selection screen of 'The Chaos Engine' by The Bitmap Brothers (same palette, same art style).
I probably won't have much time to improve it.

At least one problem to solve before being able to submit it: I need to reduce the number of color used, as I forgot to take this constraint into account (28 colors used while the maximum allowed colors is 21...).

Of course. It is nice to mention where it comes from in the description but that's a courtesy not a law or must.

so ive never really pixelled anything even quasi-realistic, so im pretty excited for this


im using rhlstudio's palette btw


the first portrait is just a normal face im using as a base for all the others
the green portrait is joy, the blue is sadness, and the yellow is surprise


its still pretty early wip and i also dont really know what im doing so lots of help would be great

It should be seven individual portraits.
