A very cute character / design so far!
My main gripes are on the color field -- too little contrast, you can barely tell the shades, while colors themselves are too far apart and don't really "talk" to eachother. Also, some parts of the sprites are really light, while some others are really dark -- I'd like to see this against a background to see how it'd look.



I did a small palette edit, added a new shade of gray to help his coat stand against dark and light environments, made sure to remove pure white (avoid pure white and black at all costs! unless its a voluntary decision to use them, of course, but it just doesn't harmonize well with most palettes that have subtler colors) hue, saturation-shifted and increased the contrast on the shades of each color, decreasing the contrast of the overall palette to increase readability. Hope it helps! ;u; <3

keep it going!


edit: I fucked up when saving and the palette returned to its previous state :I
this isn't how I did it but its somewhat the direction you should go. ; wwww ; good ruck!

edit2:
tried to redo what i did, welp

Hiya guys! I'm working on a game as of now, it is pretty much a spiritual child of the SaGa series (its not commercial-able because its using a hacked version of RM2k3 -- I this is really a test grounds to see what DynRPG + my eventing can do)

Its kind of a self challenge -- keep the resolution at 160x144 (same as gameboy), full original graphics and systems. As such I'm trying to keep the gameplay simple and fresh -- the core gameplay is the Duet system, where the two characters can string spells together to produce new effects or even new skills altogether.

Some screenies!



Protagonists are Levin and Noah who after somewhat of a mid-age crisis decide to embark together on a quest to find an old missing friend, and just live life.

Previously they were amongst the knights that put an end to a decades spanning war. The peace, however, left them yearning for a  new purpose in life.


Some portraits! WIP


Critique most welcome!
I'm really dumb when it comes to palettes. I normally just start picking colors at whim then I try to reuse them and end up with a somewhat usable palette, but it still tends to lack harmony. I wanna improve this~

I actually find it to have a very robotic "jittery" and cranky movement cycle, which makes me very impressed.
This ain't criticism but I just wanted to say I really like it, aha

this thread is pure gold!!! I miss the pixelart communities. Maybe I should return ;3;

Doing some anatomy studies as of late :3 tifa had reference, raijin had not. (and it shows)

Thank you veeeery much! That feedback was really helpful! I'll keep that in mind for my next model!!!
