8-Bit and Gold Quiggles

[_neo_kami_91]

Quiggle Day is here...

Can someone link the pictures, please, as I am deeply confuzzled by the image hosting stuff.

Done! I just get the image URLs from the Rainbow Pool master list (assuming TNT have updated it - sometimes it takes them a couple of days.)

Gold is very shiny and the white highlights help to make it look a bit less buttery than usual. Nice.

The Quiggle suits 8-bit well being quite a simple design of pet.

I think what makes the Gold Quiggle look more like gold and less like butter is the light AND DARK with a range of yellows in-between.

8-Bit reminds me of "monkeys in a barrel" or the little plastic dudes in a game called Hang on Harvey.

I've added these to the front page properly now That's what I get for not proofreading correctly...

8-bit: I never feel qualified enough to talk about 8-bit pets (not to mention I don't care much for the color itself), but I do like the pose on this one (odd as it may be), and it does look suitably pixelated.

Gold: Like Kantark said, it looks less buttery than usual due to the white highlights and darker values. The shading does well to show off the body shape and it does look very reflective. The highlight on the chest is a bit big/needs more values around it, but that's a minor complaint. One of my favorite gold pets so far.

Does the 8-bit Quiggle have uneven shoulders?

[Kantark]

It looks that way Darigan. They've put the shoulders in the same position they appear on a standard Quiggle, but the standard Quiggle is angled whereas the 8-bit looks flat-on to the viewer. Having said that, if its right shoulder was positioned down to match its left then its hand would be resting on its knee and might've looked more awkward. I like it - it's kind of authentic to have to compromise on sprite design when working with a limited number of 'pixels'.

Good point.
