As all of us head right into the #NewYear2023 together, ladies and gentlemen, I will reflect us back on my first FIVE (5) years on Twitter in regards of my own limited-color #pixelart palettes that I created during that time, from #AAP64 (2017) to #DGA16 (2022). 😊💖

🧵 (01/12)

October 10, 2017. The day that when I signed onto Twitter myself for the very first time, I immediately launched my very first-ever palette weighing in at just 64 colors.

It was called #AAP64, and it was a HUGE runaway success on my first three (3) days on Twitter!!! 🤯

(02/12)

Immediately riding the tsunami of sheer success on Twitter indeed, I forwarded ahead with my first 16-color palette that I had made that same 2017 year called #AAP16, which was simply designed for beginners who want to get their feet wet in the world of pixel artistry...

(03/12)

Then, on March 2018, I conjured up a rather interesting 16-color palette of mine entitled #SimpleJPC16... which was so heavily inspired by many iconic early-1980s Japanese computer palettes — including the #PC88, #PC6001, and most especially the #MSX computer, too!!!

Next, I created the #Splendor128 palette on Monday, May 7, 2018 which had TWICE as many colors as my AAP-64 one, all while the total amount of depth and color variety in this overall palette is sure a helluva lot better and far richer than the Atari 2600 itself!!! 🥰🎨

And, in honor of my 41st birthday that took place on May 28, 2018, I gave a rather special present right here to the *entire* pixel-art community on Twitter: #Micro12, a much newer palette that fully encapsulates an amazing widespread spectrum in just 12 colors total.

(06/12)

Then I tried my hand at making #RadiantXV, my official palette for the @pixeljoint 15-color Palette Competition... which ended up being the most subdued, muted color palette akin to the #c64! 🥴 It did surprisingly well in that it took home the “Honorable Mention” prize.

(07/12)

Then on December 31, 2018, I fully introduced a brand-new pixel-art palette duo right in time for the 2019 New Year, entitled #Petite8 and #Petite8Afterdark... which was what TRULY happened when the original 1989 #GameBoy marries a #Wonderswan. 💒💍

I was THAT ready. 😊

(08/12)

The following year, 2019, I went back to @pixeljoint to enter its 17-color Palette Compo where I came up big with a MUCH better entry called #MajestyXVII, which hugely improved the liveliness and vibrancy of all the colors... it even won the ENTIRE competition, too!!! 🏆

(09/12)

Onward, as I went into 2021 with all of you amazing pixel artists on Twitter, I combined my skills into building this 96-color palette with even more color density, variety, and well-balanced saturation than ever before.

Enter #RadiantPLUS, the sequel to AAP-RadiantXV.

(10/12)

And finally in 2022, I had tried my hand in remastering the classic 16-color CGA/EGA palette to where I quite dialed back the overly blatant high contrast to just the right balance, making them all much sleeker and more modernized for the 21st century.

Meet #DGA16. 💻💾

AND THERE WE HAVE IT, folks!!!

All 11 of my original palettes were thoroughly made and hand-crafted by yours truly, Adigun Azikiwe Polack, from 2017 to 2022. 🥰🎨

See you all in early 2023 with the NEWEST palettes I come up with next, and a most happiest new year!!! 🎊🥂
