I apologize for the mistake, I tried to reduce the colors previously and somewhow failed but I tried it again and got it down to 16 (on the other submission,) however it appears that this submission was approved instead of the one with 16 colors (revised.)
Sorry for the confusion. Is it possible to switch this version back to un-approved and the other to approved?
In any case thank you all for looking at the piece I know it might not be the best but it did make me happy to finish it!
If any other revisions are needed please let me know, I can write comments now that I am "level 2" I see so I am happy to communicate
560 colours is definately too much for us to accept. Please clean the image and reload it.
Under your artwork there is a pen icon. It brings you to the edit section where you can replace the file of the submissioned artwork or its preview icon with the fixed one. No need for deleting this submission and creating new one.
From other things to consider in future work you could try to also practice noise reduction.
The randomness is not usually asociated with pixel art, as it generally tend to be very, very controlled. Random noise looks especially unpleasant when presented in comparsion to a very strict dithering on the same artwork (I belive such high contrast can be used purpousley in some particular cases but I do not see any justification for such thing here).
Something like stylised randomness or controlled randomness can have place in pixel art, but it is advised to first be efficient at clean "by the book" pixel art, and only then start purpousely experiment and break the rules to achieve specific artistic goals.
But I see that you tried to make it very light and delicate and what you did is a much better choice for pixel art than a gradient, which wcould be tempting to use for similar effect :) But you can just keep that in mind for the future. We all learn step by step.
I'm also waiting for Elden Ring!
