10137... what the buggering hell.O_O!?
Dude, lay off on those colours, so much can be done in like under 20 colours.@_@!
The use of transparency here is subtle and minimal, and is more than outweighed by the amount of work and attention given to the piece on the pixel level. The public vote also showed that members overwhelmingly supported the piece.
No shrink at all, if you conssider that the transparency gives you whole lot of medium colors, I really never care about a limited color pallete. Tookme a lot of time to finish it and I made 100% pixel by pixel.
It looks like pixel art... But the color count is well over nine thousand. Is it a shrink of another image?
I just limit the color palette, I hope that helped a little bit with the amount of colors
