I'd advise you to use the colors in the palette only if you have a hard time at choosing colors.

Greetings, Shiz!

I'm a pretty cautious person when it comes to work, so I hope you don't mind asking a few things... I'm sure the following questions will benefit everyone.

1:
Do we or do we not have to follow the color palette?

Is the color palette simply a commutiny guideline or is it much deeper? Aka the set of colors embedded into the Graal server, otherwise rendering any other color unusable?

Because simply, if there is no color restriction, then I'm going to go HAM and use 50 shades of grey to render my GFX.

2:
This was not clear on the Halloween competition, so I'd like to know for certain this time... Can we use transparency or not?

3:
Do our items have to be outlined in black? Can we outline them in other dark colors, say if someone was to do a candy cane and outlined it in dark red and dark grey?... And if that even, then do they have to have a cartoon outlining at all?

4:
I saw GFX types listed: hats, morphs, weapons etc BUT can we also submit novelty items?- toys- balls- juggles etc?

Thank you for your time. I hope this turns out to be a good one.

1.) Now that you mention it, use it.

2.) indeed you can.

3.)Yes you can.

4.) Yep.  

So now we have to use the palette or it our choice?  

Sweet! Good luck to everyone.

Okay last bit about the transparency that I don't quite understand.

If this is an option, then we could literally blend colors to make a zillion different new colors... thus, putting us pretty much back at square one: don't use the palette.

Even if you were to restrict transparency to only being painted directly on canvas- this would eliminate color blending of course, but you could still slap down 50 shades of shadow.

I think I'm looking for a 100% solid "do or not do" if that's okay.

I hope these questions help define your guidelines for future GFX enteries.  

lol the rules kinda seem to be changing on the colours if using palette or not..So best advice to people making stuff is:


You have like lot more chance of getting your stuff ingame if you just use the palette colours (most of the items etc ongame use it!)

So I'd suggest you just use it(exact colour not shade of -thats different colour) reason they have palette is so pretty much everything has same sceme all the way through the game giving it more of a professional finish and makes look alot cleaner.  

Can someone help me find a pogo template

I always, and I suggest the same to everyone, screenshot a few frames of Ol West and pop them in your graphics program as a background to design your items over. I mean, if being or not being restricted by the palette is only a matter of proper color integration, then I'd rather take my chances and use a million colors.

My main beef is that the palette only allows for heavy contrast e.i. approximately 3-5 shades of a color.

Perhaps, since this whole palette thing seems to be up in the air, we use the base palette colors, and if we need to further blend from "light, medium, dark", we use the same color and dim or lighten it to our needs: "light, mid-light, medium, mid-dark, dark"...?

Because, basically (if you study the palette) that's all I feel we're missing is that touch of extra bend or blur to make things seem a little less square.

But hey- whatever Shiz says. I have my mouse ready to go whenever we get final word.  

personally i use the palette is a base guidline. its not completely restricted to ONLY using the colors on the palette. if i need in-between colors i'll modify the colors shades but i use the palette as my main color base.  

My submission so far. :3 oh and shiz, are we allowed to work with partners on these items? P.S. this is a Remington new model army. Look them up, you'll see how spot on it is. ;-; I also didn't use color pallet but it would look really nice on the server.

So, Slick! You have used colors outside of the palette before? Did the color of your items appear in-game as you intended?

Btw... Sick parkour gif >_>
