for an upcoming pixel art piece im working on. which one looks better color-wise? (btw yes im aware the shading's not perfect, im currently more focused in color rn)



Hi Mr_Kha,

I like #1! Its yellow is easier on the eyes. 

I think the second one works on a sort of sunste lighting. But I would suggest to shade with a little bit of hue shift. Make the shadows a little bit colder and I think it will look great

(+1)

I will consider a cooler color for the shading as the contrast between a warm and cool color would make the sprite more aesthetically pleasing, color theory wise. I'm not certain about the hue shift tho as it may ruin the overall 'retro' vibe I am aiming for

2nd one is almost only 2 colours.
