Alright; thanks for your advice =) I appreciate it!

 All right; I understand that then.
Unfortunately now, it's done; so should I manually retouch everything instead?

I did manually retouch the sky completely and removed the gradient initially. I can keep those rules in mind for the future but I am not sure now how to get the other pictures accepted. 

 lol, that sounds pretty funny. I like the name of the LS too. Nice reference to onion knights lol

 Is says it has 249 :P How low does it need to be? 

 Alright thats fine =) Ya I was told before that I had over 1000 colors LOL so I put it down to 256 or something like that but I can reduce it once more =)

I understand no worries, thanks

 thank you!

 yaaaaa..... I think I'll wait on that for a little while until they fix all the bugs. I've heard a fair amount of bad things about it so far. Once they fix it I might, but probably not since I don't like the idea of paying monthly to play a game; I don't ever play them enough online to justify the price. Plus I have 50 games I haven't touched lol.

 love it!

 thank you!

 thank you! I liked the way it turned out; I love asymmetry :) I tried removing them, and I felt this one was still better lol, so don't know XD

 thank you! I might try that =); I will be making more of these hopefully!

 thank you! I tried changing the color (right now it's a super dark red) to match the different parts better, but I still end up liking this more lol

 good point; I'll try that thanks =)

 LOL yes indeed, I know you too!

 Thanks! I love FF games lol; I should look at some of the older games for inspiration :P

 I did correct it; I got rid of the partial transparencies and removed the gradient effect that I had used, I also fixed the sky so that it was no longer sketchy; it's the same sky as used in "Crooked House" with just different colors. I will resubmit it though =)

 I'm liking this piece! The colors work really well together, the only thing I think could be better would be perspective on the front panel; it doesn't match with the angle established with the side panel, if you put the front panel in perspective it would help!

 thank you! I like how the revision turned out =)

 thank you!

 thanks! I did want a major contrast in that area, I did turn off AA, so there SHOULDN'T be any =/ lol. thanks!

 Thanks! I'll post it up once the rest get approved =)

 hmm, ya I'm not totally satisfied with this one, I think I'm going to have to take another shot at it.

 I'm trying to stick with photoshop more specifically for the reason that the company I would like to get a job at uses photoshop almost exclusively, so I'm trying to get fast/efficient in that program first; but I'll keep GIMP in mind! thanks!

 ahh, ok I'll keep that in mind :) thanks! I can try reducing them again in the next couple days :)

 Generally thats why I am using the different modes for, I did use different modes a fair amount on the igloo to get the shadow and light working the way I want, but generally thats it =). 

Thank you so much for the explanation! I've made some adjustments to the piece and I'm going to check the color count and such on here to see if it's working ok =). I reduced the others that mentioned as well lol.
