Update on the ailment cure set:



Added a magic candle for blind, Salt Water Candy for Mute (since salt water even in candy form is good for your vocals) and an all ailment pill. Not overly happy with the remedy capsule. I still have no idea what to do for the paralysis/shock cure item. Might just move onto the third set.

Meh brains. :(



Oh well. I'll probably do a little tweaking, but I think this version is pretty much as good as I can make it.

Might actually finish this thing?...

Any suggestions for another object? Thinking about stealing Kravvons brain idea since I'd like to put weight on the pink color for the last gizmo.

Update :)

Ok, tha brainz is far from polished yet - but I would do it something like this:

Further progress.

@DawnBringer Cool stuff, I especially like that vial's perspective. How the heck do you fit a palm tree in your pocket, though?

@Nevercreature I think it's pretty good. I like the mushroom especially.

@Kravvon Awesome.

Finished.

Advice: use the attached template :)

Can I do something like him?



That is not only the eight squares 32x32 but also a little backgrund?

Thanks for the quick answer.

Anyway, this is my "wip":



I'm quite sure I'll submit this one, without other edits :)

Started the colors on one, getting the line art cleaned up for the other, and backgrounds aren't set.

Had a try at making a "gangsta" adventure game using DB's pallete for the first time. I cant seem to shade the tooth very well without making it look terrible. Also I cant seem to make the coins very interesting. Any tips?

I think most of your issues are in presentation and implying detail that adds subtle but crucial readability detail.  Some ideas off the top of my head to improve pres. and readability. 
(note you can always opt for a more neutral background color, and have all of your objects vividly colored or high in contrast from the background for an easier way to improve on both)

-change the perspective of the can so you can sort of see the top of it.  That way you can add a texture and metal to the top to make it readable as a can without the text.  Then you can erase the "can o'" part and simply have whup ass on the can.  Also make the text color more readable from the can.  The background green isn't helping the yellow either. 

Gun is a bit dull looking.  Maybe have the top barrel slightly metallic. 

Glasses should be moved to the right a bit and have the part that goes on your ears longer and show the downward curve better at the end of them.

Maybe for the coins have a gold stack in the middle (maybe change the perspective to a slightly more downward angle and again try a subtle glint) and have silver coins scattered around the stack of gold.

The colors for the gold tooth seem off and don't imply gold.  Try dark yellow ambers and bright yellows for highlights.  Use google images for choosing colors. 

Tried DB awesome palette () 



Still need to find two last items.

@Lazer24, your format is wrong. You are required to use the exact dimensions given in the challenge (your boxes are too rectangular).

I like the improvements, though. All the items look better.

Update, i redid the feather, but I find my that my colors are not really good, and i'd like some advice to improve my palette.

Post apocalyptic backpack, hopefully il be able to finish it in time :/

Thoughts?

Thanks for all the useful advice Friend; Here're my items now
Any more C+C?
Edit: made one with a brighter background

Which ones better?

Well here's another WIP, Don't know if I'll get it done in time Still needs some work.

Maybe increase the contrast for the browns against the background.

A lot lot of your stuff seems unshaded you may want to add some shading. Also if you can make it so some colors can dither to make new ones you may be able to squeeze in some anti aliasing.

Hoping to finish tonight.

3 more to go!

@Voltali: Nice work. You have accidently used a 17th color; pure black on the Scepter. May I suggest you use the medium-grey or blue color to interpolate the greens on the potion (rather than bright-grey). Also; the liquid isn't level.
