    Uhh, is this just a palette edit? If yes, I'm not really sure why you felt like posting this.

    On top of that, it's not even really pleasing to look at. Too much color clashing; everything's brown and orange. Sonic seems to have been made a darker hue just for the sake of it, the clouds look weird, and the water reflects not one bit of the orange/brown color mix.

    This needs another go.

    There's nothing wrong into posting palette edits in this general topic, in my opinion, each and every edit deserves feedback, this topic exists for this very reason. One might be good at palettes but bad at everything else, and people like me who lack any artistic skill would benefit from people like them. Now, in particular, this is not the case, then again it's much better to tell him that his palette isn't very good now, rather than waiting until he progressed with his hack to a point where the bad palettes are 6 and not only one.

    Thanks to Theblad768 for the help.

    not bad with the change in pallette, though I think that you should change some parts to it as the bg and fg clashes with each other. still though, I like where you are going with the winter setting.

    That FG palette (and the mountains as well) should start as darker and finish as lighter, other detail is the grass and ground that is very confusing, It's too difficult differentiate it, try vary a little the colors. Also the water doesn't reflect sky as should be.

    P.S:That smile in Sonic is for scare?

    This is... deceptively difficult to do. You gotta be careful to not make the greens go plain brown, and you gotta be careful to not make it orange. Honestly, I think autumn-time Green Hill Zone is a doomed concept. It looks awful. The zone itself is already orange, so taking out what little contrast there is and shoving brown/orange in its place just sucks the life out.

    I know this brown is awful. I think i will rework the sprite to let it look like a Green Hill Zone in the morning.

    NeoFusionBox, no its not a scare. I am testing some sprites. i admit, he looks scary. xD

    I actually really like it. The grass palette near the bottom of the grass tiles needs to be a bit darker, but otherwise, I like the edit, SonicBurst!

    Change the colour of the checkboard? A little more pale perhaps!

    And yet you show a palette that is quite good. Do I see a contradiction here, hmm? But to be fair here, I think its not about what kind of task you have ahead, but who is there to do it. We've seen some impressive stuff on the MD afterall, it just required the right people and right amount of time.

    You can't deny that that looks more lifeless.

    I don't, but "lifeless" is not equal to "bad".

    Compared to the default vibe of the original, it is. Unless you're going for a desaturated, slightly more depressing parody of it, changing the tone can be all kinds of problematic.

    Making the zone your own is one thing, but mood whiplash, notably when it comes to music against visuals, can be jarring. But that's not my point.

    If this is dulling to the eyes, then so is Orange Hill Zone. Sonic levels aren't normally composed of one colour.

    That said, if you play with shading well enough and it's the style you're going for, you can get quite a look sticking to one colour or a set of shades.

    A new "transparent" effect for level select looks better.

    Also, thanks to AsuharaMoon for the amazing logo!
