I remember that there was a pre-built and recommended palette on this site somewhere. Can't for the life of my find it again though.

Ah color. I should mention, that while I am not color blind I do suffer from mild color deficiency. Not sure which colors though, color vision tests are inconclusive.

Lol, I like it RanMaster!

I'm sorry, I don't know what the term "straight ramp" means.
Can you give me an explanation?

Hello, first I'd like to thank everyone that gave me help with that dragon I was working on. I wanted to let you all know that I did read through and follow your advice as best as I was able.
I used that dragon to really test the upper limits of my abilities. That project has been put on the back-burner as I try to get the basics. Which brings me to my latest project. Overall i'm happy with it, I used it as a bit of an anatomy study as well as a light source study.
But I realized I don't know of any good techniques to imply facial detail on a sprite this small. Note that the current face was just something drawn out of frustration.

*UPDATED*

Dragons happen to be quite ambitious to draw and pixel. I'd suggest to study how others did it, and seriously consider the 'simpler' option of a small, cartoonish, scale-less dragon such as these cuties: 1, 2.

I was actually expecting this to be the first advice i'd get. I don't deny that it is probably the best as well.

But as i'm a bit of a masochist, I had to continue along my current path with some adjustments.

I looked at the tutorials and tried to add a light source, which is directly to the viewing side of the character(think your head is the sun)
I tired to limit my use of colors but add a greater amount if distinction between them. I think 8 different colors? I also changed some of the proportions and am working a lot more with the line art.
Right now it looks too much like a dinosaur to me, so some of that might change, overall though I think it is an improvement. So thanks for all the input, more is always welcome

Thanks for the advice, I scaled up the image a bit and tried add a bit more color and noise to match the random patterns from the croc pic.
