The hair's too blurred...needs to be a bit more solid. You shouldn't oversmooth like that...it makes it look very "messy"...
What do you mean you can't change that now? Pulease.
Hrm...that palette looks
exactly like the one I used in WOS...right down to the blacked out fifteenth row...
I'd knock on wood, but my desk is particle board.

It's a palette that comes with PixelPlus256...wait. Maybe I downloaded it from a distro that *you* uploaded, with your stuff in it. Might be possible. In any case, I like the palette, so I use it.
DP, thanks.
Nath, Nek, so I should change to 16 colors. Well, I'll do a remake and try to restrict myself. (do they have to be the FIRST 16 colors in the palette?)

No. Not even 16. Just less colours, and in a row. This sprite only has 18 colours: note how you don't need more.

Why "less" colours:
1.- you don't need such blurness: you can't notice it in such a small sprite. Note how the shades are too similar and undistinguishable looking at the sprite.
2.- Better to have all the colours your sprite uses in a row, so it is easier to alter them in the program.
Anyhow, I would suggest you to start with a front, standing view of your Sprite. It helps on defining the proportions, and working other views from a front view is easier than working a front view from a side view.

Thanks for the pointers (great work on that sprite, too...). I'll try it again, from the front.

And exactly like the one Rel used in his RPG demo included in Rellib.

Isn't RPG.pal a pallette Darkdread created then put up for public use?

Yep I think so. The tiles that Rel uesd in his RPG demo were orginally created by Darkdread, so that seems probable.

What you're looking at is my modified version of the NMedia palette that Tek created a number of years ago. I took that palette and killed the fifteenth row for use in WOS (the face images used the fifteenth row for their own mini-palettes) and it's very likely that that palette has since spread around the Qmunity.
It's a great palette but I also had an improved one in which I added flesh tones along the first column, since all those blacks were effectively going to waste...
DarkDread and I used to work together, so it's highly possible that he used the same palette.
Zack: keep trying, looks like you at least got the basic idea down.

I drew a character using only the first 16 colors of the screen 13 *standard* palette. Needless to say, it looks crappy.
This time it uses the standard palette...

It's embarassing!
