Like I mentioned last time, my previous picture was actually going to be very different than what it ended up as, so I decided to try what I actually intended from the start: Strong, sectioned colours spread across the spectrum.

I didn't calculate the composition carefully like I planned though. Rather, I splattered general shapes everywhere and then added more and more detail. I was actually considering submitting this a lot earlier. Looking back at it, I have no idea what I was thinking...

I actually achieved something I aimed at here. Looks pretty much like what I was aiming for. It's not a diffecult thing to paint by all means, but it's something I've always wanted to try, but never did. So... now I have. Hurrah!

Is it just me, or is this giving off an old Sierra Quest vibe for some reason? ... I'll have to look more into that. Anyway.

How many beasts can you spot? There's 12!

Enjoy!

eee all the clear-cut sections and various colors make this like eye candy 8D I love the range of cool colors at the top

I haven't played many Sierra games, but now I can see this as an area in Quest For Glory. hard to see what's hiding in a swamp, but he sure could see you

I like this work.It's true that it reminds some old pc abandonwares, not only those of Sierra.

Incredibly cool... your colour experiments definitely yield some nice results.

I see the Sierra vibe you speak of. The colours are very similar to the classic EGA palette, and the setting is reminiscent of a Space Quest game I played. Definitely not a bad thing.

You're probably thinking of Space Quest 2. I realised it after posting it here. Most of the game was about rummaging around on a swamp planet much like this.

It's strange. The old Quest games got their look from hardware restrictions, but their actual style looks more like something out of a Hanna Barbera cartoon. I should do an experiment with this stuff...

Jeg er faktisk ganske fornøyd. Endte opp akkurat som jeg hadde tenkt. Merkelig følelse ._.

The old PC games went for some pretty strong colours during the start, then gradually shifted towards more neutral colours as the palettes expanded, so that might explain the link.

Just coincidence that I thought of that simmilarity really.

And as we all know, eyeballs love candy.

I never played Quest for Glory, but it does seem to fit the description.
