Sure thing. I'm sorry my mate, although I'm pretty experienced with digital art I'm total noob in pixel art. I'm still learning and often don't realize I'm doing something wrong and I have a LOOOOOT of habits I need to "unlearn" like blendings and alphas. That's where my colour count goes to hell.
I'm open for any critical opinions and tips.
Regards
One is still parked outside my block. Are you able to do some colour reducing at this point? I see your technique is very clean, but the animation inflated the colour count up to 255.

You don't have to stop using bleedings and alphas. Just need to learn to use them in a controlled way. Change only the colours you want to change, use creative selection, always check what you are changing and how it affected your palette, and always recycle colours as much as you can instead of giving new ones. Practicing in indexed palette mode may help.
Also, this is not "wrong", just not in the traditional style. Controlled, small palette does not make your pixel art look good, or large palette does not make it look bad. We here at pixel joint are trying to preserve, accumulate and popularize the traditional pixel art style. We also lode and make other things ourselves, just try to keep them out of here.
Pozdro!
