5/6 and it is very high rating in my mind so you should by satisfied;>
Thank you so much! I think my next image will have a restricted palette of perhaps 8 or 16 colours to see how that works. I now understand what you mean by redundant colours and can see how I could have reduced my palette by quite a bit.
Having looked at Fool's work I am literally blown away. What that guy can do with a handful of colours is mind-numbing. He is clearly a very talented pixel-artist.
Thanks again for helping me out. Your images are fantastic by the way - the snow scene you created is particularly good.
First of all, in pixel-art we often try to use a minimum of colors (for a start at least) so it's easy to maintain control. Preferably you also deal with indexed colors so the palette can be tweaked & re-organized without having to redraw a lot.
By redundant, I mean that there are many very similar colors that could be fused/re-used without any apparent differance. Although for "composite" images as mock-ups etc. (like this), a higher colorcount is usually considered natural.
F.ex. take a closer look at Fool's work to see what can be done by using very few colors with skill: http://www.pixeljoint.com/p/6741.htm
Hi DawnBringer. Thanks for commenting on my image! Yes, although I am an illustrator and designer I am new to creating pixel-art. I did not know what pillowshading was - I do now and have read that it is - with regards to pixel-art - a great evil. I will seek to banish it from my work! Could you please clarify what you mean by the redundant colours?
You display artistic talent, but your pixel-art techniques need a lot of work. This image suffers heavily from pillowshading and you should practice color & palette-management (2/3 of the colors in this image are totally redundant). Still, fun image and the huge shootgun is a nice touch. :)
wow crazy!! I can feel the movement ^^
