Thanks. I haven't really given much thought to minimizing my palettes until very recently, though I'm working on a tighter piece right now. I've been floating around the dolling community, and with the profusion of tool shaders, palette control isn't really given much consideration that I've noticed.
The wordmark I add to all my pieces ups my colour count a fair bit, I think I have five colours in it, so I may do away with that, in favour of just using a single colour from the existing palette for my future work.
Seriously, you do great work, but I really think you could turn out truly awe-inspiring pieces with tighter pallette control...Just my opinion though...
