Mario pixel art, but I keep adding new colours until it’s too much

I’m finally back to video work after a busy month, and I want to try making a sprite one colour at a time until it feels like it overstays its welcome. Could this secretly be a decent workflow? Let’s experiment!

What struck me the most was not only the diminishing returns on 17-24, but how the 24's teal highlights became really distracting, it's like my eyes are constantly being pulled towards it

[@MillsTC]

That's quite interesting, because I read your comment before I got to the part of the video with 24 colours, and I actually quite liked the teal.i didn't really feel much for colours 17-23 and didn't notice them much, but as soon as the teal came in, it felt like something clicked in the piece and it felt so so much more cohesive suddenly

[@WarioShaker]

It makes it look like a sprite from katana zero me thinks

[@livedandletdie]

@@MillsTC I agree to me it is the best looking sprite, it's as if it's a final render within a scene, with ambient lighting from behind, and the actual lighting from the front. So it truly looks good.

[@wesleyr.6004]

Honestly the teal doesn’t look that bad, reminds me of a lot of the promo art for M&L Dream Team

[@Green_Bean_Machine]

@@MillsTCagreed

[@whiskeyjuliet]

I like how the joke ~256 colour one looks quite striking on a CRT where all the colours blend together in quite a satisfying way. 👍

[@SpaceManRD]

It almost looks like a watercolor painting.

[@McofCOD]

Came here to comment just this. I’d like to see this kind of style done for a whole scene on a CRT just to see!

[@HQ_Default]

It does kind of wind up making the image feel more detailed than it actually is.

[@your_sweetpea]

The ~256 color one (especially on the crt) has a very "Braid" look to it honestly. Not sure exactly why, but I definitely feel the vibes

[@TG_1023]

how are you watching this on a crt

[@ARDIZsq]

This is a great study honestly. It shows both how important color choices are when working with limitations, AND why more isn't always better when it comes to color. I think it's great to set limitations with pixel art to not muddy things up, but honestly, every step of this challenge looks amazing. I'd LOVE to see this done with other game characters, like maybe a Pokemon.

[@alyxgraff9121]

I agree. The less detailed sprites look more attuned to a GBC title, but by the time 32 colors was introduced it became way too crunchy looking.

[@uponeric36]

​@@alyxgraff9121 There's quite a few things I don't understand about his process here, it was looking crunchy because he was choosing colors that don't match the sprite; IE adding teal to what should've been a darker curve (as it's going away from the viewers perspective, and mario isn't shiny) along with other oddities like the green, brown, and purple pixels on both of the hands. Of course it will look crunchy if you don't make an attempt to make the new colors you add appropriate. If you increased the color count traditionally via more subtle hue shifting and brightness adjustments you could end up with way more colors than this and it looking better. If you gamified this, you could easily hide most of the "different colors" in gradients that are too subtle for the viewer to see whilst only really having a few main colors. I regularly make 32x~ sprite art with usually more than 20 colors and I've never made art like this before. It's also very strange to me to start with a limited pallet, as all flaws to your colors can be adjusted by eye on the final piece with very few problems these days.

[@akdreamer6497]

Kinda like how the Sega Genesis has less colors than the SNES but the Genesis uses its colors way more efficiently.

[@danitho]

Depends on the project and intent. A larger image would allow for more colors. But, he blatantly says he's choosing colors that have no reason to be there at around 4:45. He's following a "adding too much" trend. I've never seen it in this context and it makes for a fun video!

[@LRM12o8]

@uponeric36 that approach still runs the risk of making your sprite look washed out, or unclean. You can only fit so much gradient in that small number of pixels!

[@marcosbastos4001]

It's insane how the new 5 five colors end up being just as good, or even better than the ones with much higher color count on CRT

[@ArtRiku]

I was just going to say exactly the same ! the new 5 colors look amazing on CRT !

[@Green_Bean_Machine]

honestly, the 256 on crt looks painted, its kinda beautiful

[@LRM12o8]

Well, the new 5 color sprite looks almost as realistic as the 24 color one even on an OLED/LCD imo! I guess working without restrictions and then compressing it down like this is a good way to make realistic graphics work on a very restricted system.

[@Spooky_Magooky]

I'd say it's much better, it captures much more detail whilst working with the same amount of colours. Reminds me of old NES spritework and how modern games like Shovel Knight work to recapture that aesthetic with newer techniques.

[@13x666]

Damn. As a professional pixel artist who's supposed to have a good intuition about all this, I must say that "orig vs new 5 color" sprites at 7:50 made for a striking image when it's lead up to and presented like this. I've spent 10 minutes just trying to comprehend that these two are both 5 colors, the brain fights it so furiously. Art-styles that get so much out of tiny palettes are always fascinating because the colors they use are highly strategic and purposeful, and you did an incredible job at illustrating how to approach this strategy "in reverse". The logical next step for me was to go "well surely i can use original 5 colors to achieve something remotely similar" - and yes, you can use blue as "dark red" and red as "dark skintone" and introduce sel-out and a shading level and AA and a few tricks to the original sprite to get a pretty interesting result by moving in a somewhat unexpected direction. It opens your mind a little. In other words, this video is golden. From now on I'm including it in my list of resources to recommend to beginners, for sure.

[@BJGpixel]

Thank you, that comparison surprised me as well! I was curious about how I might arrive at something like the 'New 5 Colour' result organically; it definitely helped to have started from the higher render to guide it into place. A big part of it is that I'd never think to render it with such a crazy use of highlights in the first place, so maybe it's just showing to experiment more regardless of colour count! :D

[@cheeseballpete8944]

I had to individually count the colors on each sprite because I didn’t even believe it at first

[@LRM12o8]

It's funny how hard it is to realize the number of colors, even when you know it. I also experience this effect on the GameBoy, which famously only has four colors, yet it often looks like much more (and sometimes also less). The most interesting thing though is how ot doesn't translate to other things. For instance the Super Mario levels. I've never noticed the repetitive nature of the background or the similarities in level design (safe for the most obvious ones), but ever since I've watched a deepdive into how the SMB levels are built and how the glitch levels work, I can't unsee these patterns while playing the game anymore! 😂

[@ExtremeBirdTypography]

The alternate 5-colour one is extremely cool and really shows off the power of relative colour.

[@Texthead]

Overemphasising the colour count and reducing it back to such a lower amount while retaining some of its identity showed off a really fascinating end result. Makes me wonder of the implications for such an impractical approach

[@LRM12o8]

Makes it seem like a great approach to make stunningly realistic graphics work on an old and extremely limited system. It would look great in a GBC game, for instance!

[@autistic_potato1037]

I want to see someone make a sonic or mario type game where every sprite has 32 colors, and then use photoshop to cap them at 5 or 7, see how far they can push the abstract yet realistic style.

[@dragonwarriorz1]

Donkey Kong Country for GBC did something like this, as it did for SNES. Take 3D graphics and limit the colors. Many games did this actually. Aladdin is another one (not 3D but a similar conversion process), Disney would draw the animations and then import it into low res "indexed color" sprite format.

[@franciscomuro8427]

I love how the 256~ looked on the CRT. It really help blend the colors to make it look so vibrant!

[@Gore_Whvre]

It was actually so cool

[@awogbob]

That comparison to the crushed 5 vs original 5 is insane and provodes a lot of insight over what's possible Would be cool (and overly time consuming) to use that technique to push the limitations of older pallets like nes

[@Zizaco]

I made a video about this. There is an easy way to achieve that.

[@jocabulous]

I mean they kind of already did that on the nes, they really had to didnt they

[@incognitiosaystransrights]

if you look at a lot of chinese bootleg nes demakes, you can kinda see that, most notably in the fighting games, donkey kong country 4 and aladdin

[@GraveUypo]

it's not that hard to give an impression of more colors if you tint the whole thing so different colors can be used for shading and flat coloring on different parts of the pic. a while ago i took a photograph and turned it into only blues, then tried to crush it down as much as i could. i could pull off a good looking realistic picture with just 8 shades of blue and some nice dithering.

this seems like a really great exercise in colour theory. im not sure what its called off the top of my head, but the method of utilising every colour on the colour wheel while also maintaining a sense of harmony has always been such an interesting technique to me.

[@BJGpixel]

Thanks! Yeah the 256 one reminds me of those collage-style pieces, where you'd zoom in and every 'pixel' would actually be a full scene with that particular dominant colour

[@ruolbu]

I'm genuinely in love with 5 color indexed Mario, especially on CRT.

[@CKTDanny]

Seeing all the Marios lined up like that, it feels like seeing the plumber getting blasted through a bunch of different realities 😆 That was a really great exercise! I enjoy seeing these where you can isolate a single parameter (colour count) and try pushing it to its limits to see how it affects the results. Kinda reframes how you think of these things in the future! 🎨

[@BJGpixel]

Mario: I've visited millions of futures to see all possible outcomes. Luigi: In how many did we save the princess? Mario: One. And thanks, yeah it was pretty interesting to discover some of the later stuff through colour reduction. I don't think it would have ever occurred to me to render a 5-colour sprite like that so it's neat to find out what's possible.

[@dingus_maximus]

Not to get POLITICAL but I do think this is a good demonstration on what's happening in the video game industry in terms of graphical fidelity. Graphics have become so advanced that each new console is starting to deliver those diminishing returns. I feel like we're in the 17-24 color range at this point, so to speak, and each new improvement is exponentially less impactful than the ones that came before. The bit at the end also shows why art style is ultimately more important graphical fidelity, too.

[@DonnyKirkMusic]

I would love it if more devs made cel shaded games because they look so good at a high res. Its the best time for that type of aesthetic in terms of hardware because everyone could boost it up to a high res and not have lag at this point, and it makes all the lines look perfect, otherwise cel shading has lots of visible jaggies.

nah okay the 32 color one is just how i do minecraft textures. i love doing that kinda stuff. tho honestly, love the "modded terraria" feel of the finished 24 color one. its like way too fancy to be vanilla, and strays away from the color palette like any fanwork does. like thats deadass how some shit looks. also, love how eventually you just ended up doing things that some indie games use in engine lighting for. neat stuff! i wish i could be this much of a crackhead about lighting! and im already insane about it!
