Characters In a new style

[DragonDePlatino]

If you want to go for "historical accuracy", a game like Wreck-it Ralph probably would have run off of it's own hardware in an arcade cabinet. Unlike games for the Sega Genesis or NES, your palette and sprite limitations varied from game to game. So really, you've got a lot of artistic freedom in that department. I would recommend limiting yourself to about 4 colors + transparency if you want to retain the retro feel, though.



There's my idea for a Berzerk-style Ralph. When you boil down a character to a single color like that, you want to focus on having strong, recognizable shapes. For Ralph that would be his shaggy hair, T-shaped head and huge arms.
