Title: Random palette art game
Post by: Griffin on September 05, 2014, 02:46:11 PM
I thought I would revive this fun game Syrcaid introduced back on the old Arena. It's a great way to challenge yourself and handy if you're looking for some inspiration!
Random Color Art Challenge
Go to the website http://swatchspot.com/, it generates a random colour palette for you. Pick the first one you see and design a pony using all the colours listed. You can add black and white for shading/highlights and outlines but no more than that (unless it's part of your random palette of course).
Have fun! And please post results for us to see if you decide to give it a go. :frolic:
I think mine could've turned out better but it was fun nevertheless. :) I didn't want to go with the obvious choice because she would've ended up looking like Mimic, here's what I came up with instead!

A G4 base or other Hasbro lineart would have been more fitting for her happy personality, I guess. I recycled my old linework, someone may recognize it from my persona's ref sheet... :P The gummy bears are free clipart images I found via Google, I just coloured them.
Now, let me see yours! :happy:

This sounds so fun, what a great idea. I'll get started on mine tonight hopefully. :art:
Your gummy bear pony is super cute!

Ahhh I missed this game! I so wish my dumb art programs worked :cry: I love how your gal came out, Griffin, even if you aren't fully happy with her ;D I think she is just adorable! :heart:

And done! My colour palette screamed tropical to me; originally I was going to go for a sunrise/set inspired symbol, but fruit won over. This was a lot of fun.

Glad to see everyone's having fun, these are some amazing designs! :D
Aluke, I love how tropical your pony looks! The citrus symbol is perfect for her.
Nightbow, you've been busy, wow! I love the variety. Summer Waves is so cute and I love that you even came up with background stories for some of them.
I will have to play again when I have some more free time. :)
