Two new 16-colour images from Outline 2008...

I dunno if You find it interesting, but maybe using of spectrum palette (and actually also really - ZX Spectrum palette) could be an interesting choice.
What I mean is usage of 8 colours from spectrum to achieve something like photo-realistic (more-less) pictures.
This is an example how we do that (I found it on WOS forum) -

Well, at least it's colourful.

Not strictly a ZX Spectrum palette, but similar (listed as: full red, full green, full blue, and void, nothing else) and a hugely impressive piece of work, nonetheless.

I like the '8' piccy. few colours, minimal besides there is an artist from near me called pete mckee in sheffield who makes thousands out of similar style of piccys with less detail

I've converted such pictures from ZX Spectrum to Atari ST.

You can watch them on DeLuxePaint. http://files.dhs.nu/files_gfx/dpaint10.zip
I think they look not bad.

Nice pics indeed! Didn't knew that 1bit colors can actually lead to interesting pictures...

[yerzmyey]

Yes, that's enough to change them fast (3 pictures - Red, Green, Blue).
Of course the changing isn't required on Atari ST, so here we have a static picture.
However the technique of combining elementary 8 colours to achieve interesting colours from them - gives surprising effects.
