It's a really fun looking piece, puts me in mind of an early Irem production like Undercover Cops or In The Hunt. There are dozens of light/medium greys used here that feel like they could all just be merged together into a couple colours and that wouldn't kill the picture to have.

It's a good picture. You don't need to enlarge your pictures before uploading them to the site, since people can zoom in/out on each piece anyway. Can you please replace the enlarged file for this page with the 1:1 file?

Your piece is marked as a submission for the weekly challenge, but it doesn't fit the palette parameters - there are 10 [9+transparency] colours instead of 9 [8+t] and two of the colours seem to be different from the mandatory palette. If you can upload a fixed version of this file, with a different filename so the server can distinguish it from the originally-submitted one, I'd be happy to approve it.

On the surface this picture suggests a pretty small palette with the use of AA and dithering, but the Image Specs Tool tells us there are over 210 colours in the picture and a number of 1-pixel colours which seem to be artifacts. There may have been an errant problem during the export process. If you could see your way to replacing the file for this submission with the corrected image (and a different filename so the server can distinguish it from this present file), I would be happy to approve it.

You've put down "9 colors" in the palette for your artwork, but the Image Specs Tool says the picture has 73 colours in total. It could be possible that your picture was intended to have 9 colours but during the export process that changed somehow. If you could replace the upload with a file that has 9 colours then it'll be approved by a moderator

I double-checked the amount of colours in your file with the Image Specs Tool and it tells me that not only are there 144 colours in the file, 18 of them are transparent. I don't imagine you intended for such a large palette, or for more than 1 transparency.  Perhaps there was a problem during exporting, or you were eyedropping colours and making a lot of redundant/near-similar colours in the process? If you could reupload the file in such a way that it has a more streamline palette, it will likely be approved by a moderator

Can you please double-check your file and see if it exported properly, or strongly optimise your palette to a more reasonable level? The actual pixelart in the ground tiles and characters seem fine, but the Image Specs Tool reports over 6,000 colours in the picture!

StevenM @ 2/25/2024 10:55 commented on A silly lover

It looks like your picture should have a very small palette, but apparently there are a ton of transparent colours and a lot of very similar-looking tones as well. This might be an issue from the document you made the file in (if you used a brush or eraser with anti-aliasing, for example), or an issue from saving the file if it had an excessive colour count that your software tried to compress to a lower number. Either way it would be better if you edited this piece further so there weren't as many incidental/accidental excess colours.

The original logos show a good use of pixelart shading technique and low colour count, but the animation overly inflates the colour count. Could you please replace this animation file with a .png of both the original logos?

The original logo shows a good use of pixelart shading technique and low colour count, but the animation overly inflates the colour count. Could you please replace this animation file with a .png of either the original logo or the fully green-tinted version?

Your picture looks like it should only use about 10 or 12 colours altogether, but closer inspection says that the palette contains 66 colours. Your file's colour count seems to be artificially inflated - this might be an issue from the document you made the file in (if you used a brush or eraser with anti-aliasing, for example), or an issue from saving the file if it had an excessive colour count that your software tried to compress to a lower number. Either way it would be better if you edited this piece further so there weren't as many incidental/accidental excess colours.

Can you please upload your art in a clean, lossless .png format? Pixeljoint doesn't accept .jpg submissions because the .jpg format destroys the original colour palette for your file.

Your picture doesn't cause any problems, don't worry! We just want to make sure you keep your palette organised so that there aren't any accidents.
 
We sometimes get uploads where the artist had worked with a small palette of colours, but for some reason or another, the image they upload to the website shows a much larger amount of colours than expected. Like a single picture or animation that means to use 16 colours, but the Image Specs Tool shows hundreds of colours. If that's the case then we ask the user to go back to their work and fix it to show the results they intended for.
 
In your case the image's extra colours are all transparent, so they don't actually appear and muddy things up for everyone who looks at it. It just doesn't seem like something you intended to happen with the image.

Your file's colour count seems to be artificially inflated - it seems like as the pistons rise and recede, the whole 'screen' experiences a darkened colour tint. This might be an issue from the document you made the file in, or an issue from saving the file if it had an excessive colour count that your software tried to compress to a lower number. Either way it would be better if you edited this piece further so there weren't as many incidental/accidental excess colours.

Your file's colour count seems to be artificially inflated, owing to a lot of surprise black or near-black dots showing up around the outline of your graphic. This might be an issue from the document you made the file in (if you used a brush or eraser with anti-aliasing, for example), or an issue from saving the file if it had an excessive colour count that your software tried to compress to a lower number. Either way it would be better if you edited this piece further so there weren't as many incidental/accidental excess colours.

This is a pretty good Morrigan sprite on the surface! I don't know what happened during the editing or exporting process, but the Image Specs Tool reports the sprite has over a hundred colours in the palette, the vast majority of which are transparent.

StevenM @ 1/25/2024 21:19 commented on Satoru Gojo

Since the vast majority of the background is a flat colour I don't think it's necessary to keep, it would be better if the page were edited with just the sprite cropped and added, but that's a personal opinion. Regardless of the background, the picture has a bitmap asset (the red/black orb) that's artificially inflating the colour count and also seems to be affecting the sprite's palette, adding extra colours where you might not have intended.
