I promise I'll do less self-portraits, I swear I'm no narcissist!

This is practice with the definite palette for the Chip16:

The missing bit in the hair is intentional.

 

16 colours, of course.

Edit: forgot to thank Dawnbringer for motivating me to find my own palette. :)

What do you think?

 Brilliant stuff there.

The overall color areas are, themselves, prone to resolving as the bright, kinda-primary colors they are, which makes this a bit motley (big patches of primary colors on the face), but that's the result of a presumably conscious decision not to do any dithering.  It's the natural cost of that + this palette, just like dithering often can't avoid causing texture with a fixed palette that's not rigorously optimized for a given piece.

Absolutely stellar.

Not at all intentional, but maybe I do look a bit like Bill Hader...

Not sure if it was intentional, but it looks a lot like Bill Hader.

Thanks for the analysis, Dawnbringer!

That's correct, it'd be 15 full colours plus a transparent colour.

The checkered colour is the transparent colour, as Jeremy pointed out. I don't think I'll be using it often as an overlay colour, so the lightest grey will play as the white colour in the palette. That being said, as surt pointed out it's a fixed transparent colour, so I'm tempted to make it purple instead.

The green's been giving me some trouble, so I think I'll darken the grey.

I've updated the pic plus the palette!

The 'Fro is weak in this one, but his colours are strong.

Isn't having a fixed transparent index (presuming that's what it is) rather wasteful given you've got so few indices to play with?

o_O that seems really complicated.  I wish I knew as much as you about color


user
Jeremy (Level 11 Special Agent) at 11/10/2011 8:22:30 PM

The checkered one represents transparency I assume.

What's with the checkered white, is it really a 15 color palette? (in case of 16 the bright-grey is a little too close to white)

Here's a little analysis: spotted some weaknesses that could easily be adjusted.

 

A little weak in the brightness-scale but nice and evenly distributed "domains" in the bri-hue diagrams (hardly any points where 4 areas converge = sign of weakness).

And...great picture! :)

*added to palettes folder*

This is real nice. I don't think the splash of red on the right cheekbone works as-is though, and the lightest grey on the left one verges on banding with the dark grey.

This is really good!  My only nit-pick would be that the left (his right) eye feels like it's not looking quite as far to the side as the right (his left) eye is!  Tiny thing ...

Great choice/use of palette.

I love this so much, the colors are beautiful!


user

pretty cool.  Though it is kind of weird looking how the skin uses the pallete much more interestingly than the hair and shirt

 Wonderful use of palete.

 Nice, I love the way this looks. The palette is neat and was used well~

 

Good job
