After making the Guilded Landscape piece, I wanted to make something else with the Guilded colors. The problem with the colors I used, however, is that there are virtually no mid-tones; two light, two dark. So I went into the Guilded app itself, took some screenshots, and color picked some colors that also appear often in various places throughout the application.
I also wanted to make another piece for my town series, but the piece I am currently working on for that series is still unfinished and will not be finished for a while. I decided to make one but with the same canvas size as the Guilded Landscape piece and the new palette I created. The problem was that I wanted to include people, but the people I designed for the town series are designed for a 200x200 canvas, which is twice as large as I had set in place for this piece. So I had the idea to use the character designs from Sprite Variety II and they worked perfectly. I also tried some palette variation, and I think it looks pretty good.
I think I'm going to make one more piece with one more palette, but I'll explain that one when I get to it.
