color [deadline: 01/15/2014] (2 hours remaning)

[Gors]

Weird... someone sent me this bunch of solid colors.



Naturally I would discard them but since they're somewhat interesting, here goes a challenge for you all. try making a sprite with those 5 colors plus white.

obviously, the attempters won't be unrewarded, so I'll be sure to give you something if you try

[E-Man]

Well, considering how limited the palette was, this is the best I could come up with with the colors given. I don't know about how the trunk turned out, but I love how the green color goes great with the periwinkle.

The RGB values weren't multiples of 8, so my OCD had me fix that before I started using them. Other than that, how about a cute cartoon mouse?

[Garamonde]

Does the background count towards the usage of white or does it have to be present within the sprite itself?

[Koh]

I sort of took it as the default background color, and the sprites that want to use it, basically are "transparent" in the places white would be used, and put over a white background. Basically, how the Gameboy Color handled it, like with the Pokemon Sprites. Sprites that use three colors (black, red, and maybe a darker red) overlayed over a white background to simulate the use of 4 colors. NES did the same, but it's background color was black.

I thought I would give it a try, but then this happened...


made another edit

[Gors]

@Koh, contain your OCD. everyone is using the color as-is, so i dont see why you´d need to use different colors from anyone else. Fix it or else you will not be qualified in the challenge.

[recme]

the only thing i thought of when i saw those colors

[Koh]

Well if you insist, here's the non-multiple of 8 version

.

I'm just used to having clean RGB values to work with on my colors when I sprite. Really helps when I do color shifting and what not. Payne objects to me possibly winning anyway, btw.

[Ploaj]

It's like the colors were made for her.

[Phantom Killah]

I'm not sure what this is but I like it

[Terminal Devastation]

Okay entering challenges and just making stuff on a whim for said challenges is rather fun.
I've one issue:

Could someone tell me what I just made?

[Zadaben]

I think it is a turtle.

[Sevenstitch]

I don't know

It's been a while, I can see that I'm pretty rusty

[Garamonde]

I'm so creative (also rusty).
