Some newer work for the Amiga Demoscene Party "Gerp 2023"
I Tried to make 16 colors (4bpl) look like 32 colors and played again with some dither experiments to get some more crispyness, sharpness and depth in the background.

I love her outfit. Future fantasy couture. Very creative, not to mention 16 color magic.

The dither makes it very special and unique. And I like the color palette a lot. Awesome.

Looks like the next phase of the Riddick movie that never happened. Great emotive and sci-fi style. Love it!

@mirre Thank you! Retro SciFi was a big influence. Dune, Riddick and old movieposters from 70s, 80s and 90s 😉

Amazing piece! Love the mood in this. It reminds me of retro sci-fi book covers. The textures and dithering techniques are so beautiful too!
