Ryugotchi Scene Creation Contest

[Alister]

I keep stalking the submissions thread hoping to see more entries, I definitely hope everyone that hasn't posted one yet adds to the thread I love getting to see everyone's work.

This contest got me working on a second 8 bit Sonic zone to use for a new avatar. Tiny pixel scenes have become my new addiction

Alright! Still, let me know if you need any advice on the more artsy side of this stuff, I've been doing pixel art for a few years and would probably be able to help!

The generative stuff is really cool for sure, I bet one of those pattern backgrounds would be awesome.

I just...am not very good at translating my ideas to visuals via things like drawing/painting anyway, so the pixel limitation is just a bit much. I keep trying to like pixelate photos of things I'm thinking to use as a guideline, but it doesn't really translate. �\_(ツ)_/�

Yeah it's really tough to translate photos into pixel art! I think referencing cartoony styles often works better, because they also have limited color palettes and not the depth of color that'd be in a picture.

Good luck Kitty! I'm sure whatever you decide to enter will be lovely!

I have an idea for one, went to make it but I am lost on what is 8 bit color and am afraid of not doing it right. I use a free program but it doesn't have an 8 bit color selector.

After chatting with some of the members who walked me through what 8 bit means, I ended up just using the palette that Fabulous linked (you need an account to see links). Sticking to using just the colors here keeps it to 8 bit.

I saw that but my issue is not knowing what the hex codes are. I can choose close to those colors but they might not be exact and that is where I don't know if they will end up being 8 bit or not.
I use paint.net and unfortunately there is no 8 bit plugin ( I looked for hours).

ahhh I see what you mean. Does this site help? (you need an account to see links)
It's the one I use to upload images of my Neopets and find the hex codes to use for their lookups. It lets you upload images and then use a dropper tool to see the hex code for any color you select from the image.
