I have never done this type of art because my degree was in studio art but I thought I would try my hand at something new. It is flawed I am sure but please be gentle with the C&C. I think its like 34 colors including Trans. I tried to put as much detail  into this as I could without it becoming too cluttered. I also know peeps frown apon artists keeping the original black line art in the piece but I removed it and it looked less mechanical so I left it as is. I hope you likes it.

Edit= Reduced to 16 colors and shifted it. Kept the original as is on DA should anyone want to see it with the full 34 color pallet I also liked the black better than trans..

I think that it is too symmetric.

Hey! I never meant 'hue inversion' :-0 Just a leeetle shift, + or - 20 or 30...

Well, it's cool anyway, I prefer the wings like this.

Maybe you might mix that with your original body colors.

Now, that symmetry... ;-)))

I agree that it looks much more interesting with the 16 colors. as for the wings they are flat and I really do not know how to shade them.

I don't know how to shift colors or reduce the number of without redoing the piece

Also, I would suggest reducing the color count. Looks interesting with 8, so it should be ok with 16.

And a hue shift might help (+ or -, tried both, liked both).

Ok I'll change the preview just for you lol.

Hey, this looks good!

But:

please break symmetry! esp lighting; add (or suggest) lower body (it takes a while to understand this is a torso), add shading in the wings, maybe enlarge lower wings, don't have upper/lower wing rods aligned, etc.

And redo that horrible preview without resizing, pliiiiiize!
