but it usually works when used in a given context, with a purpose, and as a resource itself of the concept you want to display with it. dithering its the salt and pepper of pixel art. its an extremely basic and simple technique and its almost the most essential thing you learn when drawing and/or studying PA. however, you just can throw it randomly in everything just like you cant put salt and pepper on everything because what you get is a fucking disgusting result. and its even better when you use it in creative ways outside of just dropping it above stuff.

dithering is not just there to increase and be an automated tool of color conservation(because if that wa sthe case we'll just put the image and color reduce it in a sofware), it can break the roughness of a plain surface and give it texture, therefore spawning 'life' from it. there is more in dithering than the plain, lifeless and boring checkboard pattern. dithering can be anythijng and in any shape. but this doesnt mean "oh shit lets just get crazy scribbling". remember what i said about salt? its entire about when and how you use it, not when you are suposed to use it.
That's what I meant by my post-- most people just use it for the sake of it. There are only a few people that can actually pull it off.
e: and this might be just by my own personal tastes but I don't like that piece-- it's too grainy-looking.
i know but i just used ot for the sake of showing other ways of dithering besides plain 50x50 patterns

Its gonna be pretty fast.
Also, although gameplay in a smash bros. game is not like Famicom Wars, the game still consist of the main/most iconic characters of the NES/Famicom in a 2D action Brawling experience. So I thought I'd be normal to put that title in.
I may call it: Smash Bros. 1985, just Smash Bros., Or Famicom Brawl.
EDIT: Also, thanks for the dither explanations.
metaru that example sucked
post was good though
here
GOOD example of dithering:

I think I'll go with the original, if you look closely, you can see the transition away from the spike ball frame is better in the original.
Edit: Just noticed someone edited my post into Tarsal...
Damn you Tyvon...If you even did it.

what the heck is "tarsal"
I wrote Gorsal, came back, and I saw Tarsal. I don't know if it was me or someone else, but nevermind.
oh that post
that post never said gorsal in the first place
and looking at my keyboard it was very clearly a typo
And that has what to do with this project how?
Any ways, nice tiles, How about other mario Items? Like the Frog suit or Fire flower?

did you even read the post right above my post because it
was completely relevant
I did read it, and I still think it has nothign to do with the sprites, yeah it showed how Gorsal made the block yeah i admit I saw that, but discussing the name has no point into improving this at all
