I wanted to add some Renaissance artwork to a game I'm working on, so I practiced some more on my dos-vga style. The idea of the method is to imitate some styles in early 90's vga by taking a photo (or in this case a painting), doing a nearest-neighbor resize, selecting a palette from the resulting pixels (with longer than typical ramps), and then coverting the rest of the image to that palette by hand while fixing up the image.
All images used came from mid-late Renaissance paintings. Can you guess the original sources? |
Nice work!
