Well, I joined the PixelJoint forums so that I could view and read some of the topics etc., but until now, I've never really made a post. So, here's my first post. This is a signature I'm working on for a friend...he wanted an "epic" scene of a small band of characters righting their way across a land bridge to an ancient temple on the other side. From inside the temple, a strong light is being emitted.
The frames, although they suggest a time progression, do not. Each different frame will show the same scene from a different angle, and featuring a different character in the scene. This is going to be hard, and I'm really struggling to figure out how I want to do the other frames.
At this point, the large frame on the top left will be shot across the bridge, showing the party advancing across...you will be able to see the demon/dragon on the left part of the bridge as seen in the top middle frame. The top right frame will be an overhead, -45 degree angle of the temple, and one of the characters battling it out with a temple guardian.
The bottom left will show a mage casting a spell or something on one of the guardians, and the bottom right will show a view from inside the temple. The camera wil be positioned behind the crystal, or whatever I decide it is that they're seeking...an evil looking dude will be approaching it, and in the background, you will see the entrance to the cave/temple.
After all that build up, it's probably quite anticlimactic. But anyway, I need help. I realize that I have a real problem with color reduction...

Great start. Don't sweat the color count at this stage. Once all the frames are in you can unify the palette.

Okay...that's another thing. I'm not sure if I have the best color palette. I've never really tried "'choosing," per se, a set of colors to make a piece with. I'll browse around the forum, though; I'm sure I can find help in that catagory somewhere.
