Ah... Darn. Unfortunately I won't be able to fix it in time but thanks for the critique and tutorials! I'll keep them in my back pocket for next time
Very atmospheric, lovely first piece!
This has 19 colors; the 11 extra are likely accidental and should be easily removed (find them by hovering the cursor over the palette).
While you're at it, you might improve the palette a bit with a better range of hues (hue-shifting) and mostly saturation (you have about only 2: ~30 and ~90-100).
You need at least one color to bridge between the torii warm tones and the background; it would be most useful to help blend the distant fence within the bg.
nice work and atmosphere! . study the featured pixel artist it will help you to improve your technique .
