Description:
This piece is a little bit different, as it's a truecolor image instead of being indexed to a palette. However, palettes play an important role nonetheless. In-game, the scene was rendered in a black & white version of Doom's palette. Afterwards, I used another palette, one which I made a few days prior, to manually add in color to the screenshot in Aseprite.
The reason I did this is because I wanted to emulate a really interesting process employed in the early days of film, where monochrome film was painted by hand, frame by frame. An example of this in action is Le Voyage à travers l'impossible by Georges Méliès.
Besides finding it really cool, the reason I did this is because of the subject of this painting. The two ladies sharing a kiss are characters made by my dear partner. The one on the left is Griselda Weiss, and the one on the right is Rosetta Maxwell. They're a pair of students, secretly in love with one another, attending an all-girl school at the tail end of the 19th century. The time period obviously inspired me to emulate the methods present in early cinema.
Anyways, I wish a wonderful and merry Christmas to all the lesbians out there!
