Title: [CC] Here's a little chameleon
Post by: Tipyx on May 31, 2016, 06:43:31 pm
Hello o/ !

So, for my first post here, I give you the pixel-art I did for the Pixel Dailies of the previous 05/21.
It's my really 4th pixel-art, I don't count the "things" I did for the gameJam in solo.

In my eyes, it's my favorite and the best done (believe me, you don't want to see the others :3).

Anyway, there is it :

I really need to work the colors. Everytime I used too much saturate colors, but I believe I'll learn it with practice over and over again :D.
I'm opened to every suggestion, comment, and critique !

(Oh, and it's my first topic, so if I did something wrong, tell me ! :))

Looks good! As far as colors go, I think maybe the background should be somewhat darker and maybe a little different from the tone of the chameleon. Also I think it looks better with shading to change color slightly instead of simply changing value. (Like the darker colors become more blue and lighter colors more yellow.)

You can find some resources online like these guys to see what I mean:

And other things like that. I'm no expert, but there's my two cents!

Thanks for your comment ! With that, I make a retake on the background and the chameleon shading (with a top light).

(And that tail... I have to retake it completely :X)
