Some, like cure, use a failproof way to maintain a balanced contrast an all work.
Pixel in greyscale then color using shades in the same range as the grey being substituted. Its a great idea that does not work for me personally but it does seem to work for some.
I have to study deeply this contrast thing... from my experience, if I pixel on a monitor with a low brightness, when I pump it up the color ramp seems to fast, meaning that the next shade of a color is too far. This is why I pixel on a monitor with max brightness. Maybe this is not a good practice.
I agree with jalonso on the contrast..... by the way is he wearing his shoes inside the room? this is another reason you could be punished for in japan !
Indeed there is no way to guage colors on all monitors. That's why 'contrast' on pixel palettes is crucial.
Again, its fine and I see that shade its just low incontrast to the lightest shade.
Sorry to disappoint you Semont, but at my skill level I chose to focus on fixing all the big mistakes I'm still doing while pixeling, as Jalonso pointed out, before trying something bigger :)
I don't know if I can do anything from a technical point of view for helping omogeneous look of colors across different monitors.
Anyway I promise I'll learn some zen dojo design before committing seppuku :P
Good effort and nice and clean overall. Not really crucial but at least on my monitor the lightest yellow is hardly noticeable and perhaps too much on the yellow instead of ochre side of things.
One design crit is how the middle ceiling beam reads thinner than the rest and the spaces in between the beams is not equal which I assume must be against all Japanese design sensibilities and maybe punishable by death :/
Sorry if I sound disprespectful but I really expected more from the preview..
I'll try that, seems reasonable. Thanks!
