RE: Pixel Art Weekly~Theme Announcement~Win Steem!!
Great concept!I love pixel art so thanks for hosting this contest @jonny-clearwater. I didn't realize how difficult it was going to be for me to only use 4 colors. But I found a little loophole where I was able to create a "fifth" shade with a dot pattern of one of the four colors overlaying on the other. Hopefully it still qualifies! I've been working on for the past 3 hours. :) Since this is my first entry I thought I'd draw something that represents me. Since I'm from San Diego I thought it would be appropriate to draw a surfer.
Yeah awesome colour pallette, dude you've still got plenty of time, you should give it a go at animating. Leave the sky how it is just the waves and the dude bobbing up an down.
I'll definitely give it a shot! Thanks for the suggestion :)
Man... If this was animated....whoooo
if I animated it, do you think I'd win? :)
I know this... You'd have a better shot of being in the top 3. I give bonus cookies for animated pieces
You've done a great job though and the pallette is fantastic.
wow, this is awesome (y)
That's awesome. If you can get that animated then it's a serious contender
Don't forget to upvote and resteem the post for your entry to be "official"
btw, using a dithering to create a '5th' color is exactly how you would go about it without going beyong 4 colors. it's still 4 colors isn't it. It's just perceived as more. Well done.
That said, there appears to be some sort of anti-aliasing in your image which makes it have way more then 4 colors.
Also, the transparency gradient of the dithering (the sky dots) makes it way more than 4 as well.
this is how it should look I think in 4 color ....
did steemit do something to compression ?
