[WIP] GameBoy player

[Kaczor]

Some of you may remember me. I was posting here for a while and then left for couple of months . I came back and maybe will stay for longer... what am I saying? Of course I will. I'm still learning so here's ma current exercise piece open for your critique.


The gray thing he's holding "is" a GameBoy. That's what makes him a GameBoy player  .

[UPDATE]

Small update. Don't mind the cap... still. I know it sucks. I have problems with too big palette as always. 32 colors as far as I remember  .



[UPDATE]



Still don't mind the cap. I ocasionally managed to merge some colours. There are 17 at the moment. I mentioned about 32 colours earlier... My PC must have lied to me .

Still waiting for someone to help me improve this .

[UPDATE] 19-03-2008

I finished it. It's pretty weird how he manages to play a game without a cart inserted  . It still needs to be worked on but that's all I can come up with at the moment and without your help there won't probably be any improvement .

Your color choices could use some contrast. Do you really need all the dithering?

Dithering is fine aslong as used right. And it is used right, in my opinion

I like this piece, though of course there have to be some crits, which has a good side too.
You are reusing some colors of the face in the hair (or other way round, would be the same I guess). I dont think you should do that, since it looks somewhat weird. Also, his shoes look a bit too greenish. And you should totally add a cart to the gameboy

Finally someone responded . I'm using dithering for the first time so I was expecting it to be criticised. I'm glad you think it's right, Crow.

Alright, I get it but what's wrong with it? I mean... Could you explain it more widely?

Also, his shoes look a bit too greenish.

Yeah, I've had problems with these . I'll try to use some other shading.

Thanks!

Well, the dithering you did looks good. About the face and hair colors, it just doesnt read well in some places if its hair or face. And the face looks a bit weird with those yellowish colors.

I have no problem with the readability. the outline of the hair makes it pretty clear what's hair and what's his face. The skinn is a bit extremely yellow, though. You could try give it a more red-ish tone.
Nice work overall
