The Lil Cactus is from Legend of Mana on PS1, but he sometimes appears on other Mana games too.
I actually want to finish a pixel piece for once and not have it half-assed.

I need help developing the rest of the color ramp. I already have the greens, but I still need the tans (face, spikes), browns(pot, spikes), and reds (cacti flower). I plan on using the same colors for the tans and browns, with different proportions on the color use.
I'm also not going to use antialiasing until I'm nearly done with the piece. I'm not even sure if I know how to antialias right.
Don't worry about the tan and brown on the face. It's the rough indication of what I want. The official colors used will be on the color ramp.
