Thank you, and thank you for pointing out the colour bloat! I actually only recently discovered that my reliance on using colour picker on non-pixel art character references resulted in excess bloat as the difference was too minute for a naked eye to see, but what programs like Aseprite detect as distinct -albeit minimal - colour changes (idx-28, idx-29, idx-30 and so forth). I was using an app where this information wasn't as visible, but have now figured out how to see it and ensure the palette actually stays consistent in my new works! 

Hello, this is some wonderful pixelling and I'm accepting your piece, however I would like to ask you to add palette control to your practice routine. Your piece currently has 59 colours, while it could be made with 16 or even less and look indistinguishable. Try to unify very similar colours, recycle colours as much as you can, and avoid additional colour used for only few pixels, unless it is absolutely necessary.
