Wolfenstein sprites

on: July 13, 2008, 05:17:00 am
Hi all,

 Haven't been pixelling much recently. I've started some sprites for a wolfenstein type game. Its still WIP. I'd like crits on the pallete because I wanted a second opinion before I get too far.

Thanks

Modern artists are told that they must create something totally original-or risk being called "derivative".They've been indoctrinated with the concept that bad=good.The effect is always the same: Meaningless primitivism

I like the pallete alot. Its got a dark feeling, but it would be interesting to see the skin shades hit more of a greener tone, makes them look dirtier imo. Other than that, its nice, and I like the designs.

a very convincing palette to achieve a dark feeling... it's quite difficult to criticise it because it might be just a matter of personal taste, but i think that, even if these colors create a particular feel, when i see them together they become a bit too gaudy to me. here's a little edit on the zombie, i tried to keep colors as vivid as you did (and probably more than as you did XD this saturation hurts)
i do love the green you used on it, but believe it doesn't fit greatly with such a creature and with the other characters...
you could also change the little folks' skin, choosing a different tone for highlights. desaturating could help, but i imagined you wouldn't be enthusiastic to use it, and that you'd rather keep them as they are to preserve that particular atmosphere. but i'd use it.

definitely looking good! the ant baby is awesome :yell: i think that the red gloves on the liche guy are a bit bold, maybe desaturate them?
