i would like some advice but I didn't want to make a separate thread abt it so I'll ask here.

I'm trying to color this character and I don't want her to be all the same color like in the old drawing so I tried to pick some colors that weren't too far off but still work okay. what do yall think of the color choices here?

I kinda like the original colours. It looks pleasing for some reason. The second picture seems too saturated. Slightly desaturating it will make it look a little bit better. If you want more distinct colours then I’d suggest changing some to a more purplish colour like the cuffs and shoulder piece to give it more variety. Maybe even changing a shade, like on the head and back, to a blue would look nice, but like a pinkish or purplish blue. Keep experimenting until you find something you like.

I tend to lean towards really saturated colors in my drawings anyways, if you look at my art gallery basically all my drawings are like that lol. idk how to make my colorings not saturated 😅😅
I think purple would look nice. too bad it's difficult to really recreate the original because it's basically just pixel art.

I don't think the saturated colours are bad. However maybe you could shade with or add tints of blue for contrast to make it look a little more like it fits? That's my recommendation but take it with a grain of salt, i have no understanding of colour theory lol

Purple wouldn't be a bad colour either.

yeah I usually try to shade with complementing colors, so pink could be shaded with blue, yellow with green, red with purple, etc. I'm glad you don't think the saturated colors are overbearing, I think that aspect is fine. I just wondered how I should color the purple-ish part. I'll have to try out some stuff later.

I definitely think saturated colours in art has to have a particular style to look good and yours works completely fine with it :) good luck with the colour scheme though!
 
I was playing Super Mario: The Lost Levels (the version that was remade for the SNES) and these little jerks must've killed me like 10 times in the beginning of World D-1 XD

I eventually popped and killed the two of them, but for awhile they just kept on appearing near the same fatal spot (simultaneously blocking the path and throwing loads of hammers).

These Hammer Koopas are probably the enemy that I find the most frustrating in the early Super Mario games (then it would probably have to be those pink squids that follow you around in the underwater levels).

hammer bros are the worst lol. I still haven't beat the original SMB cause world 5 has a lot of them and they always manage to kill me.
 
I miss Bionicle. The original Bionicle. Before they went into space, tho the Phantoka is when it really went down hill, mainly because they changed the ball socket pieces which were more prone to breaking. Honestly the original Toa Mata was the best because they had nice designs that wasn’t bulky, Masks that were simple and not over designed, a full on mask collecting thing, and the best part was the theme which was mechanical Heros that used magic in an old time fantasy land to defeat an evil god. Even tho metru nui ruined the original masking collecting feature and theme, Vahki and Visorak are my favourite sets, along with Bohrok. Real shame Lego isn’t creative enough to make sets like those anymore.

K YALL I REDID THE COLORS FOR THIS OC.... A BIT

I was happy with the fur color but I wanted to change her... armor I guess is what I would call it? the armor color. so I made it slightly less saturated (as one user suggested, couldn't make it too not saturated cause then it looked nasty) and I'm actually pretty content with this color now ☺

as most of my drawings do, this will probably end up looking way better than it does once I start the highlights/shading :)
