Bastendorf and me are two different people...o-o
and i'm trying to be more open minded too, it took me a while but i'm trying..i just like older styles of spriting. i want it to look different..if everyone followed the same rules, everything would look the same kind of art style, i would think..
I'm looking at your edits Gor, i'll reply a little later, thank you! = ] and yeah, i have zero inkling about hue shifting and how to do it right atm, i'm just doing trial and error. i was also using ms paint at work, so that didn't help.
ok! when you said you removed a shade, i cant seem to find the shade that you removed! the colors that you showed in little splotches for example didn't match my colors but it did yours.
...
now i found it! it was on the oldest one on the group. on the ones in the center, i already got rid of a shade. = )
Thanks for the little lesson in the shading. i was trying to use red but he started to look pink. = ( i don't have a color wheel on ms paint, which is what i was usin' at the time i did this edit. maybe i can do something better here at home. i like the colors you used.
I think the shadow on the right one looks neat sorta, but i just kinda threw it on there. the left leg looks crappy as i was in a hurry; it was almost time to leave work.

he's my attempt at Jason's helmet, I've kept around the same number of shades (I removed one single shade and even then it doesn't look it lost any detail). Notice that the gray has a really faint reddish tint (to match with his suit). Usually, hueshift happens depending on the situation or place the object is (as Vipershark pointed out with his wallet pics). In Jason's case, I chose to use a reddish ramp so to fit with the overall piece without sticking out too much. Give it a closer look:
All in all, it's not arbitrarily giving the colors a tint, it's about making the color more lively by considering the piece as a whole.
Finally, I'm sorry if this sounded rude to any of the parties. I am here to help with pixelart, and I hope to see more from you in the future.
