This is my first attempt at drawing an RPG character.
I want critiques, not insults.

It was done with a PixelPlus256 palette file. It comes standard as "RPG.pal".
If you don't have PixelPlus, get it in the Utilities section of qbnz.com. Copy rpgchar.put into the Images directory. Then go to File->Load Palette, and select RPG.pal. Then go to File->Open and type in rpgc, press enter, then press F10. Tell me what you think.

PP256 doesn't come with any RPG.PAL...

I think it looks great :wink:

There is NO RPG.PAL included with pp256... Zack should be adding a screenshot as we speak. Lazy Zack not doing it himself...

Bluffer, thanks!
Plasma, here, Z!re has kindly taken a screenie of my image, magnified and normal.

I talk you from experience: it uses too many colours. You will say "nah, I have 256 to play with..." wrong!

Most 2D console games use 16 colours or less for the sprites. Why? palette using. If you just use 16 colours in a row to draw your sprite, you know which colours to change and that they won't affect the rest of the sprites. For example, let's say that you are in an ice stage will skimos. When you go to a firelava stage with golems, you need different colours. As you won't use skimos in the firelava stage, you can use those colours, and change the palette to be able to draw and use golems.

You also have to work a bit in the body, as I can't distinguish the parts.

Well...the colors thing...I can't change that now.
Anyway, here's a new version.

I still think it looks great 8)
