Contra (1987) title screen - Pixel art - /build

Just wanted to post the pixel art i’ve made on build dimension:

Still hating the fact that theres no shades (of colors) on this game. Because of (the lack) of it, I had to make Bill Rizer’s hair using walls for the darker shade of yellow. I think the art is better to see in mini map than in normal view:

/pos: 2154, 2102.

What is the pixel art and the original? They are identical!!! Your pixel art is very beautiful (I didn’t know you made this pixel art)

I’ve search for a guide to colors in terraria and found one program that a guy posted on github, but its too complex for me to understand and it use a variety of blocks, so it gives more textures than i wanted to use. So I stick with using slime blocks and basic colors, using normal and deep paints, plus illuminant coating.

The first one is a screen shot of normal view in terraria, the second a minimap view. This is the pic I’ve used to replicate in game:

@Solysis, you can see on the original one the color variation.
