You could try smoothening some of the jagged lines with the colors you already have.

Yeah I would have liked to, but don't really know how   
I don't know if I should use darker or lighter color.. it depends of the background right?

here is a (WIP) attempt to the palette challenge ..

That is VERY nice.  You have some talent there , as for the fish tank, it could use some highlights on the glass(relfections,etc), it looks very dark, and not glassy right now.

thanks,

for the reflections, actually I tried, but I didn't like it because it was killing the readibility so I removed it .. 
maybe I didn't find the good way to do them too..

here is a new WIP, for the weekly contest on Joint..
don't really know what to think.. not easy to read I think.. and not super happy with the colors..

we can use 16 colors ,and I think I'm around 13 right now..
C&C very welcome

That new one's awesome! Looks like it could be the title screen for a game or somethin'. I think the mountains in the BG could be  distorted through the glass bubble, though. Same for the ship. I really like the ship. It looks a bit messy, too.

The forms and readability are nice, what it needs is pixel-art finish. AA, dithering when you need it and cohesion in the palette.

Xion> thx, yeah I will try to work a bit more the bubble , refraction/reflection.. but I want to lay down the colors first, I would like to make the bubbmle slitghly brighter too.. I admit I'm struggling a bit on this one ^^.. First time I do something like this   

Helm>thx, giving me more confidence to finish it ..  cohesion of the palette seems the most difficult part

[Helm]

you might have to sacrifice some saturation to get the colors to work better together.

[kakikukeko]

thanks a lot for the tip Helm,
I guess I'll need a few more pieces to fully understand it though 

here is a small progress..I hope everything goes in the good direction.. I lack some knowledge about dithering on curvy stuffs hehe..

need to go back to work ..arf.

[kakikukeko]

ok "done"..

very probably improvable but not with my current skills ^^
I'm quite glad how it turned out though..
