Title: [WIP] Armor + Helmet
Post by: Jamoka on March 17, 2007, 01:35:42 am

Hello all, I'm new here and I have been working on a piece of chest armor and a helmet and so I would like to ask for C & C on it inorder to improve. Its my second pixelation and I'm quite happy with it, tell me what you think.

I'm quite liking the design, but what striked me was the high color count. You have quite a few colors that are way to similar. You have 16 colors in there, but you could easily do it with 8 or less. also, the overall form seems kinda flat... you could realy use some of your darker shades to give the helmet and chest more form.

pretty decent for a second piece though... keep it up!

Thank you, I know the multitude of colors is a big problem I'm just new to this and I can't really figure out how I can do it without, would you be able to give me an example, I would really appreciate it. This way I won't use so many colors as I move on.
