Title: Messing with colours (wip)
Post by: Jakten on September 22, 2008, 04:00:21 pm

Trying to mess around with how colours work together, I'm using the NES palette (not restrictions though) I've never really worked from just a palette I usually just grab any colour I need so its fun to see what i can come up with. Also getting shading to work smoothly, I'm probably going to go back and dither a lot of it.

try experimenting with an off center light, or directly overhead, even under lit for scary effect (clowns = scary)
basically anything other than this front lit source which creates "pillow shading" and will make some cry.
personally i feel i have been wrestling with some things about color.
i found "hue shifting" to be interesting and helpful.
i think i like the flesh tones you picked, but you could probably go with more drastically shifted ramps overall.
