Hi blackbeltdude, I agree but the reason that this uses so many is just that it's a crop of a larger image (see mural) which really used the other colours more effectively. I was hoping that cropping it woul reduce the used colours but nope, it seems I went for all of them in the head.
Now I do like how solid and pretty your work looks, but I think it'd be a lot more impressive if I used less colors. 39 isn't a whole lot compared to some of your other stuff, but for something that's only 49x64 pixels, that's a lot.
Please don't take what I said as negitive though! I think this look really damn impressive! I like it. But, I'm personally more impressed by things that use less color. I think you give up a little control for more creativity when that's the case.
