no I didn't mean this 
but to create a intermediate color between my too darkest..
done on this:


but of course you 're right, I need to AA the crystal.. 

Thx for the comment Rydin, I guess your critic about the head concerns the guitar? if that case, I agree 


here is a wip of the new challenge.. (on my previous post I was saying pixelation's challenge, I meant pixel joint)
theme is a forest, 16 colors alowed

I'm at 15 colors so far, thinking I 'll make one more for AA from the darkest to the darkest green..

long time without any update..   
I've been busier than expected 

I worked a bit on the vampire but haven't finished yet,
here is my pixelation's challenge entry, palette and size given..

I prefer the second one two.. but I can't say the first one is bad... the design of the dragon doesn't look very cartoony, so I like it with the new colors, but actually the drawing is kind of joke, and for that part, the first colors work better imo..
(but if you remove the text, yep the new colors are better, it just looks more adult.. )

that's a very impressive work by the way..
how long do you spend on such a piece? I wonder if you are really fast or just very patient 

if you want to do it to many colours at a time you can also set the stencil so that the colours you want to exchange are not selected (manipulatable), set the right-button colour to what you want them replaced with and press K (clear). I am pretty sure that it should work (no PM to test where I am atm)

I just checked and yes it works, but I was not saying many colors at a time but one by one,like: replace blue by dark blue, green by medium green, dark green by dark purple etc... so finally in this case, I think Miascugh 's method is the fastest.. you  can easily set the palette by hue or brightness then editting the palette, copy a color over an unnecessary one, do this many times with different colors.. then delete duplicates and finally remap..

(I think adding a "Fusion with " button in the edit pallette would be cool  but may be it's just I who miss it , with my crappy methodology  )
thx again
