i feel like it looks bland and empty without dithering but idk how to make it look good and detailed

#

theres also this disgrace to humanity that my freinds liked more over the dithered one

hidden swan Jul 8, 2024, 1:15 AM

#

I honestly like the disgrace

#

has reflection, has shading, has shape, has a good vibrant palette

#

the shape just needs to be made more clear

#

and maybe add some details like a fossilised insect inside

#

hidden swan I honestly like the disgrace

i heard that a lot so i decided to make it cleaner

hidden swan Jul 8, 2024, 1:56 AM

#

hmm, looks a bit like coal

brittle anvil Jul 8, 2024, 1:57 AM

#

i literallt made it by taking a real image shrinking it to 16x16 and tracing it

hidden swan Jul 8, 2024, 1:57 AM

#

I liked the pink too

brittle anvil Jul 8, 2024, 1:57 AM

#

the shape

hidden swan Jul 8, 2024, 1:57 AM

#

well that is too complex for 16px to handle

hidden swan Jul 8, 2024, 1:58 AM

#

hidden swan I liked the pink too

I know it's not realistic but can you add some of the pink/brown back into the palette?

brittle anvil Jul 8, 2024, 1:59 AM

#

i can tru

brittle anvil Jul 8, 2024, 2:00 AM

#

hidden swan well that is too complex for 16px to handle

yeah i used it for mainly outline

#

then tried going off a gold ingot

#

it comes out a lot cleaner when you dont use a reference actually

hidden swan I know it's not realistic but can you add some of the pink/brown back into the p...

im sorry idk how to blend two very different hues 😭

hidden swan Jul 8, 2024, 2:19 AM

#

I'm outside so I don't think I can try to mess with it

#

but I think you should mix only a little bit of pink in

#

this is too much

brittle anvil Jul 8, 2024, 2:24 AM

#

hidden swan I'm outside so I don't think I can try to mess with it

heres 16x16 if you wanna try when you can

hidden swan Jul 8, 2024, 2:27 AM

#

looks like blaze powder from here

hidden swan Jul 8, 2024, 3:42 AM

#

why does it look like it's been through a jpeg filter on my end

maiden stream Jul 8, 2024, 7:28 AM

#

I like the first one, a bit of everything and not too much, not too little

But i think it'll look cluttery in the inventory tho

hidden swan Jul 8, 2024, 11:20 AM

#

yeah I opened on PC and it's the same, it has those bleeding colours like it's been compressed with jpeg or something

hidden swan Jul 8, 2024, 2:30 PM

#

honestly I can't get over how good the disgrace looks

#

can you send me an uncompressed version?

#

@brittle anvil

#

sorry that I was out doing stuff for the entire day

brittle anvil Jul 8, 2024, 2:47 PM

#

hidden swan can you send me an uncompressed version?

sure

hidden swan Jul 8, 2024, 2:49 PM

#

and also the disgraced version if you still keep it

hidden swan Jul 8, 2024, 3:18 PM

#

okay I tried to add some details to the amber (it still look a bit sucky but, the shading should resemble amber - smooth rather than coarse)

#

also haven't changed the palette btw

hidden swan Jul 8, 2024, 4:22 PM

#

some more changes because got hyperfocused

slender wedge Jul 14, 2024, 10:53 PM

#

Looks good. The redder shading makes it look a lot like amber. I think you've succeeded. If you were to ask me what it is, I'd guess amber

hidden swan Jul 15, 2024, 9:16 AM

#

please don't tell me you're talking about my sprite

#

cause I'm not the OP

slender wedge Jul 15, 2024, 6:19 PM

#

brittle anvil i heard that a lot so i decided to make it cleaner

This

#

But your sprite looks great too

hidden swan Jul 15, 2024, 8:05 PM

#

yeah that one's good but I also commented on it that its texture looks more rough and doesn't feel translucent

#

OP hasn't looked here for like ages though so I don't know if this is officially a dead thread or not
