Wow, how'd you manage to cram 106 colours in this image? Looks like either something went wrong saving the file, or you need to pay more attention to how many colours you use.

I agree with DI0xygen. If you don't improve it, it will be rejected. you should optimise the color, 106 colors is tooooo much for a pixelart creation

Try drawing out the lineart to begin with, if you're going to use a picture for inspiration that's fine (as long as you credit), but you cant color reduce it and then shade it. That's not ethical.

this was 100% made by me =S... I saw some pics yes, but didn't stole a thing....
is not a color reduction.. or a reduced image...
 
i posted it here for a reason.. i'm not going to upload it to the gallery until is finished.. i'll try to reduce the colros (Not with photoshop), using colors that is used in other parts.. i can show you where the colors came from if needed...

no worries, don't take it to heart. We have to ask unfortunately. And it's really odd for an image to have so many colors, if you did start from scratch.

Honestly, I would just pick like 3 or 4 colors for each color ramp and then start over with coloring, instead of replacing 106 colors.

you'll better say the truth Kfuchoin, this still doesn't convice me. solo me tomo un minuto o menos para elegir los colores. no puede ser que hayas usado TANTOS y con tan poca diferencia entre ambos.

Ah okay, I get it.

It's not "illegal" per say, but it's considered bad etiquette and... kind of lame. Pallate is a large part of the expertise of pixel pushing. Being able to pick the right colors is part of what makes up skill as an artist. So you taking colors from an image isn't illegal, just sh*tty artistic execution.

the shading doesnt really make sense to me.. it's a little messy, but hm maybe thats just the style

Well, the style kind of fails when you can't clearly tell where the light is coming from.

Pick a light source and shade accordingly. If you don't understand what that means, http://www.natomic.com/hosted/marks/mpat/shading.html - check this tutorial out . We can't tell you where to put the light source. it's YOUR picture.

I'm not sure what's happened here, but most of the colors in your palette at the bottom there aren't used in the piece at all, and most of the colors used in the piece are not in your palette.

suggestion: ditch those colors, pick 3 simple rapes, 5 shades of yellow/flesh, and 5 shades of green/hat, maybe a few shades of the red for the underside of the tentacles and white for the eyes.

Just paint over of that, its such a mess right now and I can't tell whats going on with it, try to show some depth with it. I'll see if I can't make a quick edit.

Aye, there are 69 colors in the document.

The colors in your palette squares are just barely different from the colors in the piece. You can't tell just from looking, but the RGB values differ slightly, resulting in a technical palette twice as large.

Screenshot or it didn't happen:



I hope you don't mind, I played around with your color table a bit. 12 + trans:
