Some Critique, Please.

[Level 1]

I have to agree with Viper, less colors allows for the viewer to see the detail of the piece. With so many dark colors surrounding said detail, the viewer then has a harder time interpreting what you meant to showcase. Besides, sometimes less colors means less work, and in a sprite of this quality, there shouldn't be a lot of work to be put into it because Viper has literally left you with the outline for you to re-shade with a smaller color count.
