Beyond that I think I just fiddle with the colors until it looks nice I think? I actually happened to save a small timelapse of this palette specifically (I never really do that lol), so you can see for yourself

My palette won 2nd place in the PixelJoint 24 color palette competition! You can find the other entries here: pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_...

After countless shades, endless comparisons, and intensive color tests, our jury has finally reached a decision!
Behind us are hours of carefully examining every tone, transition, and perfectly chosen color — and honestly, picking the winners was anything but easy.
Every submitted palette brought its own style, atmosphere, and creative spark, and the competition was truly incredible.

Special thanks go to the judges who took their time and effort and helped vote on the winning palette. Our guest judges this time were umbohr, jok and Milano Nicotin, as well as our mod team Trigonomicon, Weerdmeester, vrine, Gecimen, QueenKami and Irenaart.

And now, it’s finally time to reveal the winners of this colorful showdown…

1st place: Morganne - Porcelain 24
2nd place: SurrealEmber - End of All Glory
3rd place: gawrone - Crystalline Moss

Runner-ups:
4th place: SeDiceBisonte - Nefertiti
5th place: Mattpxl - Twilight Veil
6th place: CactusCelery - Confused Travel

Huge congratulations to our winner, and a heartfelt thank you to every artist who shared their creativity with us!

sokoban assets #pixelart

A pixel art depiction of a Sokoban level. The level is surrounded by dark walls. The floor has a bit of a high-tech aesthetic and is made out of square metal panels in different patterns, it has xross markings for the correct placement of boxes. The boxes are varied: a gift box, a metal cage with a creature, a wooden crate, a blue metal container with a fish, a red metal container with a gun, a cardboard parcel, and a high-tech crate with a warning sign. The player is a woman with a high-vis crop top, gloves, pants, boots, and a high-tech visor that covers one of her eyes.

Tweaked my older profile picture #pixelart

2 versions of a pixel art portrait of my OC Ember. Both are wearing a red hood with gold trim and a white mask, have glowing golden eyes, and the background has shining stars.
The first version has simpler shading and uses a simple vibrant palette. The second version uses more colors and has some more detail and shading.
