words from Helm: "Full Red, Green, Blue and Void allowed. Nothing else. I learnt a new form of dithering I never had much of a reason to use before this. It's a byproduct of the scanline thing. Ptoing started this whole deal by showing my a picture that seemed blue, by alternating 'scanlines' between two colors. After we decided that this was interesting, I had to try to use the scanlines, but also do dither gradiations into other colors without resorting to too much

standard 50% dithering patterns, as they went against the scanline effect. Not that I didn't end up using them anyway, but not predominantly.

So what I had to figure out is this sort of 'brick dither' effect you can see if you zoom in like on the helmet or chest. It's a very subtle effect, not a lot of brightness differentiation, but adds texture, interest and doesn't mess with the scanlines too much. The big payoff is of course, tinting."
