This is a PC-98 style picture of Misty
#
I wanted to see if I could re-create the style of PC-98 graphics, like the old Japanese eroge games.
#
After looking through a bunch of examples I settled on these constraints:
- Black outlines
- 3 skin tones plus white
- A dedicated color for anti-aliasing the outlines
- Relatively high-resolution
- Pattern-style dithering
- and a maximum of 16 colors.
#
This picture is a pretty good example.
#
But I also needed a suitably cheesy pose. Something contrived and exaggerated.
#
I eventually settled on this sketch by Ettone.

My result looks kind of like what you would find in a PC-98 digital fan-zine. So… success?
