Need CC please

on: March 12, 2011, 04:32:29 am
Hi everyone. I could use some CC on my first attempt at pixel art. I used Photoshop and tried to stick to my palette but I think I missed it up. Does anyone know if Photoshop has a color map/palette tool similar to the ones in ProMotion or Graphics Gale?

Anyways, here is a beaker I drew. Thanks!

Hi, the beaker looks nice, but the table's perspective doesn't match the item at all (if that's a table and not just a background :P)

Make sure you are working on indexed color mode:
--> Image/mode/indexed color

Then you can check the color table:
--> Image/mode/color table

oh it's just a background, and the gradient on it is too smooth to be pixel art, but ultimately it's what the beaker will be on top of, so i figured why not throw it in

I cleaned up the palette and played with some of the dithering. Any comments? I'm not sure I'm happy about the way the light hits the flared part of the beaker

It looks nice, but the contrast is low ' 3 ' Is sorta hard to see if the pixel tech holds up cause it's harder to read with all colors so close together. Maybe try darken the darker colors? ' 0 '
