I decided to put these two in the same topic so I'm not spamming up the forums.
Mirrored Tree..4 hours (ignored the mirrored pallette in the corner
)
11 colors including transparency
Fighter Girl... 2.5 hours
16 colors including transparency
Both are from sketches I produced. I shrunk 'em down and reduced the colors to create a base shape to work from. I've taken them about as far as I can go for today, but feedback is useful! ^^
