Feedback for Indie Game Art

[DapperDave]

Well...one of the reasons hue shifting looks so good is that it's something that actually needs to be done manually. You could use a tool like this to make your color ramps, but most would consider that a form of training wheels.

To be honest, your best bet would be to take your tree into a pixel art program like ASEprite (older versions are free) and then convert it to indexed color with Sprite -> Color Mode. Then, go into your palette window on the left and tweak your colors until you get a result you'd like. The only problem is, there are a ton of colors in this tree so it'll be hard keeping track of all of your hues. Most pixel artists stick to a small number of colors for something like this (say, 6 or 8) so that colors are easy to keep track of.

The tree top really is just 11 colors, so I'm halfway there. 



Can you see it or are my images not working again?

I actually already used Indexed Color to get it down to 11 colors. That's already part of the process.

I'll play around with the palette and see if I come up with anything interesting.
