Hey everyone! Okay so I've decided to take a very short break from those small sprites I posted (which still need some more critique if anyone is up for it
) to do something larger. The idea behind this is, one I needed an avitar, and two - I wanted to do pixel art on a larger scale and with very limited colors. SO! It's a work in progress, but I want to know if I'm headed in the right direction. This for me would count as something of a second attempt at pixel art -
and here is the photo I'm using -
To do this I spent a lot of time studying that mono-lisa remake Helm posted (but did not do ((I don't think he did it... I'll re-check and update this))) in the master remake challenge thread. I was blown away by the use of few colors to represent so well an amazing painting.
I'm using even fewer colors here, so I'm wondering if I've used dithering correctly? It seems to be the best approach when doing skin tones on a larger scale.
I was hoping to do a simple animation with this when I'm finished. Right now I've used 7 colors total.
