nekketsu series work

I liked the idea, but this makes the backgrounds to look more 16bit, while the characters are still in 8bit.

If you go on this route, it would be better to change the characters border to a darker color too instead of black

Thank you for your comment about the color. Since the character uses a little color, I think that unless it is a 16-bit character that uses a lot of color like Final Fight, the result may be worse than the black border that strengthens the presence of small colors. But it's worth testing.

I changed the border on Kunio's character.

Nice. Maybe something like this?

In a similar mood, GBA's Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari EX has a bright pastel tone to the game. However, it has some weight because the characters are not monochromatic but have light and shade.

One good way is for me to add color to the character like 16 bit. Instead, it may take longer to work. If you get the current color wrong, it can end up looking like My Little Pony style.

Added more colors to Kunio. It takes time to create a standardized torso, but once the torso is completed, you can easily create the character.

That looks much better IMO. You were already way over the limit for NES style 2bit color anyway, so might as well treat it like a 4bit sprite.

The border was also brightened depending on the position of the light. This is a good result. However, I'm not skilled enough to do that, so I'll have to think about the border color.

Since my skills are not that good, I compromised by dividing the border into skin color and clothing color. I created a base so that the divided colors can be changed each time I work on the character, which makes the work a little easier.

It is actually very good.
This is always a good thing to make the process a bit simplier to be sure to complete the character!
And here, it really works !!!

I made a type 8 base and applied it to Kunio. I tried to make a style with a short top and a chain around the waist as an accessory, but I thought the arms would cover most of the body, so I'm just thinking about it for now.

Great job! This way, even Riki can have his design ^^

In fact, it is a sprite that takes Riki into consideration, so it will be helpful when creating a character with a Riki style.
