Everyone who’s familiar with late 80s and early 90s video games is familiar with dithering (whether they know the term or not), a gorgeous technique by which a 16 or 256 colour display can emulate richer palettes. Maybe the best examples are Mark Ferrari’s jaw-dropping backgrounds in Loom and the Secret of Monkey Island; go watch his excellent talk:

Since stitches ≅ pixels and yarn comes in limited palettes as well, the same tools can be employed in yarn arts!

Daily Sketch Challenge 13/09/23: LeChuck

Piratical theme this week? Never actually played the Monkey Island games back in the day. Shame, really. Wonder if they've posted today's topic yet, as I got notice of yesterday's a bit late, hence the lateness of this sketch.

Tambien esta Guybrush Treephood a falta de sombrearlo un poco y el cofrecico ya terminado. Me faltan los dos ídolos que no se donde los he dejado 😅

Vamos con el temible LeChuck, ya solo le faltan unos cuantos sombreados y barnizar. La familia Monkey Island va creciendo..
