Case Study - Archipelago : Fractal Mapper 8

This looks great, silverleaf. I don't use FM8 but I like the way you build your palettes and can certainly use that method in my workflow.

ravells,

Gosh, thanks for the very kind words.

The palette method has come in handy in the past to solidify what I'm working with, and it emphasizes quick visual confirmation when I see the chosen ones side by side. Through experience I've found that when I just pick colors off a source image and don't place them side by side that many times I miss "something" in the color range.

Really, the sheet makes it easy to see if I need any "tweener" colors to finish out the design, but I do lean towards using textures to fill in any gaps in my palette.

Cheers and thanks again,

Silverleaf
