Hello. So, I made a DnD mock-up (not sure how to attach it here). The thing is, I wanted to submit it to my gallery, but I realized it's 101 colors...

It's supposed to be based on separate tiles and palettes (the "in-game" screen having its own palettes, the characters having 3 color palettes, and the rest of the interface their own), so that's why it has a high color count. Oh, the background too.
I could just simplify the entire palette of the mock-up, but eh still wondering if there's another work-around

It's ok for a collage or mock-up to have a higher colorcount...if the separate elements are in order.

You can attach files by embedding an imgur (or any other image hosting site) page into your post.

Although I haven't seen the image yet, you could potentially try indexing its palette if you want to reduce its color count. Here's a pretty useful guide on how to do it in Photoshop (https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/color-modes.html), and the same basic principals apply for most other graphics programs.
