Pixel Art / Re: [WIP] Skelton in Armor

After...

Before...


Taking the advice I have managed to work the armor to its current iteration but it feels irreparably incorrect. Advice on how to shade it correctly would be greatly appreciated as I am not used to working on larger character portraits like this. Added the color palette into the physical image for easier manipulation for anyone looking into it. Many thanks.

Here would be the image at the proper zoom level. My apologies and thank you for the clarity!

Here are some reference links, if there is a spoiler code that would be helpful otherwise didn't want images consuming the whole post page. I hope these are helpful in conveying the angle I am going for, though the specific style is variable to change depending on what can be conveyed in pixel art. I imagine more detail would assist in avoiding flat spots of shading?

Pixel Art / [WIP] Skelton in Armor

Edit: Made image follow proper scaling with no zoom



Hello, this would be my first time posting here so I think my formatting is correct. Apologies if it is not. Will make changes are needed.

I have been stuck on this current piece for some time namely on the subject, the skeleton, and their armor.

I was wondering if anyone here had any advice on how to pixel out armor with respect to the light source coming from the front-left side of the skeleton. It has proved tricky and I would much appreciate some guidance on a method to approach this as trial and error have yet to bear fruit. I seem to be stuck on visualizing how light would exactly playoff such a reflective material which is affecting my efforts to bring it to the image.

Of note, the work is currently limited to the 9 colors seen in the work.

Hello good to meet you all. I usually lurk but have taken time to make an account so that I can hopefully see further improvement in the field of pixel art as this community seems wonderful. I am a fine mixture of nervous and excited as I have not had a community in which to apply my art for formal critiques compared to just posting it other sites purely for viewing which lacks much reflection.

Thank you for having me and I hope I have a long and prosperous stay here. Warm regards.
