Hello, fellow pixel-pushers!

I seriously need some help.

I've been trying to make my color ramps more organic, but I can't seem to get the colors to flow right. So far, I've been messing with saturation and values of the colors to try to get one hue to flow to another (i.e. blue to yellow), but I can't get it quite right.

Here's a pic example:


On it is all of the palettes I've used in this one picture. The skin color is off and...well.....everything is off! I really need some help!

  Although I'm pretty new to pixel art you might want to check out cure's tutorial which has a brief explanation on color ramps here: http://www.pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11299 - http://www.pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11299 and this tutorial here as well: http://www.pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5692 - http://www.pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5692
Another suggestion I have is to checkout Syosa's interview on the main page a featured pixel artist... there's lots of guide's here so if you look for it, you will find it.  Good luck!  (I have trouble with color ramps too... still trying to find my unique "set")
