Start with small changes to an existing icon. Try just changing the colour to learn how the shading works, for instance.


Don't expect results like DRG manages, Don had been finding creative ways to get around the limitations of a restrictive palette and the pixel scale for over two decades!

As you say its quite impressive with the scale working at sure there is quite a lot of fooling the eye by causing 'blending" to achieve a shape or shade.

The palette is only as restrictive as you let it be restrictive. There are some combinations of colours would be nice to have >256 but there are many ways around that.

Every colour here is in the game palette

As a person twiddling only with LBMs, I can only admire your work...
