if i had made a character and you wanted to check how many colors i had used, then yes png or gif would be the formats to save it in.
but this is a huge image that doesn't need to be inspected that closely. if you really want to though, then check the previous images i've posted, they are all png or gif.
the images weren't meant to be posted here, i just though "whatever.. i might as well" thats why they are jpgs, i didn't mention that when i posted, because i really think its a non issue.
i totally agree, you shouldn't save you images as jpg's, but it was either posting the images, which were 100% quality, so you cant tell they really are jpgs, unless you zoom in 10x or right click the image, or not posting the images at all.
