Experiments of recreation of the Shovel Knight character in different game art styles.
In order of right to left is the character of Shovel Knight in the games Alice in Wonderland (DS), Dead Cells and Hyper light drifter with each one having slight variation between colour usage and colour maximum as well as stylization of the line art.
The Alice in Wonderland Shovel Knight came from a game that I was unfamiliar with being relatively niche and underground my recreation of it's style was one of rapid learning and improvisation in areas as there are not many if any at all armoured characters in the original game.
The Dead Cells Knight I feel kept very faithful to the original game considering the limitations that existed in the pixel count as well as color palette I know that it could have been refined further however I decided to move onto the next Knight instead of spending more time than needed on this one.
The Hyperlight Drifter Knight was the one I feel I had the most control over having the widest color palette and knew the artstyle the best however I don't like how the final product came about as I feel I diluted the original color palette
