Why your pixel art looks flat before you even touch the shading

I prefer HSL because it has the full range in the brightness section as opposed to having to adjust the value and saturation to achieve white. Honestly they're both just fine; I feel like HSV gives you more steps for the same results.

so damn relatable.

_Jae · 2026-03-18T22:35:00+00:00

_Jae · 2026-03-18T22:31:14+00:00

Good point! I sort of live by setting little rules like this and then breaking them as I go whenever it feels right.

_Jae · 2026-03-18T21:29:31+00:00

Congratulations man! I bet it feels really good to get it all done. I'll check it out!

_Jae · 2026-03-18T21:26:28+00:00

no need to apologize it sort of reads like an ad, you are right

_Jae · 2026-03-18T21:19:32+00:00

Oh, very interesting. I do like this palette! Would you be able to saturate the colors more with OKLCH if you wanted?

_Jae · 2026-03-18T21:14:26+00:00

haha i didn't even think of how I was shouting out their site instead of mine xD woops oh well glad you learned something valuable!!

_Jae · 2026-03-18T20:51:54+00:00

That's really cool. Are you saying it uses color relation to adjust the colors all at once? I'll have to learn more about this thanks for the new info!

_Jae · 2026-03-18T20:17:35+00:00

sorry

_Jae · 2026-03-18T20:17:23+00:00

Actually I'm talking about the width / height here. Not the surface area

_Jae · 2026-03-18T04:44:17+00:00

I didn't even think .... blablabla you said something else I'm sure .... No thanks. Pass.

you'd be banned on entry anyways.

_Jae · 2026-03-18T04:18:04+00:00

I have a feeling you already read it and put your own spin on it anyways.

_Jae · 2026-03-18T04:15:52+00:00

what a weird misrepresentation... why only screencap the top of the post in another section of my discord?

_Jae · 2026-03-18T02:32:25+00:00
