So ive spent a good month or so away from Pixels. WoW ate my soul for a bit, and eventually got old, as it tends to do. I decided to just work on some random thing to get back into things. I found a sweet picture of a rhino and decided to use it to work on my dithering and ability to work with a limited pallette, as I am used to working in 256 or more colours. Right now I have various purples, and am trying to figure out a good set of 2 or so warm colours to use for highlights and stuff. I meant to post this earlier to show my lines and stuff, but forgot to save in time. lol. Here is what I have so far. Right now Im mostly looking for input with the palette used before I get too far, but I imagine i will soon enough begin my dithering and such and will require input at that point as well. This is not for any project or anything, just some random Pixel Art.  |

Looks good so far, just play with the hues until it feels right, mix up the monochromatic feel. Do you have a reference? ------------- |

I used a google search for rhino and used the first face shot i found. I used it to make the lines and get the initial dimensions and then got rid of the reference, so I wouldnt get nazi'd by the original textures. Oddly enough I just tried to find the pic to show the ref, but now i cant find it on google for the life of me Here is a bit further in  This is the first time ive really tried dithering in any substancial amount. Ive done a touch of it here and there, but i wanted to focus on it with this piece. An excercise i guess |

Is this your ref?
And it looks very nice so far. It looks a tad pillowshaded in some areas but I suppose you are still flashing things out...
This might help you with that.

Also, I agree with TINC. Just play with color until you have a nice mix.
