ega palette in action

[egypturnash]

Character design for doctorpinkerton. This is a holographic avatar of a computer. I went through several iterations on this design before finally arriving at this; I wanted it to clearly be someone virtual without it being a handful of clichés stolen from Tron, or relying on post-processing filters. The nod to the horrible EGA palette happened quite by accident, at the last minute, and really brought it together for me...

I am SO glad I got in on the PC gaming after PC games became attractive. I remember seeing Mean Streets for the first time, in glorious VGA, and I couldn't believe it.
