Hi! Thanks for answering. Yes, they're the same character, but at the same time they aren't - just like in Pokémon, the big one is an "older" or "more developed" version that the little one and the design changes a bit.
Of course! Instead of starting from monster number 1 and going on from there, like I was doing, I should try to make a few designs with totally different colors first, to test and perfect the palette. Thanks for the idea! I hadn't thought of that, but it's the most logical choice. That way I can make the tweaks I need before the designs pile up.
I've started working on a brown monster and it's already made me change the palette. I removed a color (so now it's 56 colors in total) and edited a couple other ones.
After this one I'll do a mainly blue monster, then red, yellow, etc. Thanks for making me think of that, it's the best way.
Anyhow, if any of the palette experts around here can have a look at my palette, I'd appreciate it
I'm not used to working with such complete palettes, I usually just either 1) take a pre-made one, or 2) only work with a limited palette for a particular sprite, so I must admit I'm a little wary of making a mess of things later on.
