SPIRITING
Posts
Not sure where this should go but...
I've been experimenting with spiriting a bit, and I'm trying out a new character.
What does everyone think?

Spiriting sounds like getting drunk off liquor.
Good edit though... even though the deer in headlights look of the 2k3 RTP battlechars is fail.

Why is it jpged?
Just for the example. :) Want to share your genius with me? Hehehe
It's hard to know how you did well with shading and stuff since jpg mess up. Uhh that's why it's either GIF or PNG for pixels :P

My shading is very weak. I'm trying a more detailed version now (as that was just a base) but I'm not sure how much I'll lose when I reduce the color.
JPG adds more pixel to a pic uhh...let's see

No matter how high the reso of your jpg it adds pixellation to the pixel thus adding more colours.
So let's say my sprite has 16 colors, I saved it as jpg now it has 1000 colors.

Oh, yeah. I know. I'm using a bitmap as a base, but the example I posted was just one sprite to see if she looked decent with purple hair and that blue dress.
Do you want to see the updated bitmap?

I think it's your color choice that disturbs me a bit.
Try using palettes from other pixel art and see how they do it as well
I think your colors is too bright (aka saturated)

I think I do need a new pallet for the hair. The dress looks good, me thinks. I'm slightly hue blind, so I'm not sure how to make a proper color pallet.
Oh my god, that is so adorable! Might be a little matronly though. Hair is much lighter. The character I'm making is hair stylist who loves Manic Panic hair dye, so I'm trying to go for a more vibrant color.
Also, how do you decide how to do the borders? I noticed that yours alternates between the dark base and a dark bold line.

I had hard time understanding her hair haha so yeah.
I was just giving out an example, I'm at work so I can't give a proper purple.

You're a sweetheart. What are you doing working at 1am?
oh it's 3 pm here. I'm doing graphics thingy so yeah :P
And thank you haha.
Hope you can modify the rtp look though, people tend to dislike it.

As much as I'd love to really take on a definitive style, I think it's better for consistency sake to keep it in lieu of RTP edits, unfortunately.
I think they are kinda cute though... Though not as cute are yours. :)
By the way... Where is here? Australia?
