CGATees (2016, w/progress)

CGATees is the first of a short gallery of pixel artworks I've done, trying to emulate on old systems (usually computers). I'm starting with the CGA colors as a start, being limited with just 4 colors that don't fit well. There's other color choices like the Green, Red, and Yellow as white, or the similar Cyan & Red colors, but the classic goes to cyan & magenta. I did my best mixing these colors together.

To begin, I boot up DesignDoll to strike a pose. I decided to not show hands because I hate drawing them.

An old design sketch. This was supposed to be an alternate costume for an old OC, Luna. I scrapped that idea to make it her own character, later on.

A clear outline on how it works out.

A colored rendition with no shading. I think I had two separate layers for the Cyan & Magenta when making this.

To make this shine, I had to abuse the living hell out of dithering techniques. Since it had 4 colors, you could just open Photoshop and switch these colors for your liking.

A bonus: This is a recent updated design of the CGATees chick, but given her a name. She looks more sporty, and I'm gonna use her in a later art piece involving another one I did with EGA graphics.
