EGA doll (retina-burning colors ahead)

[Helm]

Excellent effort. Sadly the skin tone can't be helped much more (unless you 50% dither it like in the edit I'll upload soon), this is the EGA, this is what can be done with it. Congratulations on this experiment. Do you find you've learned from restricted palette usage?

EDIT:



as you can see, this is extremely painful a way to work.

Thank you! I think I learned a lot about how different colors work and mix together. I also felt using a palette like this was an interesting challenge rather than an inconvenient restraint.

I did a few different versions of the face before starting the rest of the doll, and for one version I did actually dither in gray and yellow. I think it looks good from a little distance, but from close up I think it looks unpleasantly grainy. Especially with a cutesy character like this, I preferred the smoother look even if it meant a weirder skin tone.

God damn, this is beautiful..  and Helm aka Simon (runs ) showed some sick technique to push the skin tone color further.

I think you need to remove that blue highlight on the shirt.
It really seems odd. Like latex.
But I love it completly.
