Why use more colors then neccessary if you can have the same result

color usage with limited gradients of colors that you need

Elk is good, ja.

Well, it depends on your style, I suppose, Elk. My style usually uses more colors than others such as yourself. By the way, great work there, Elk.

I wanna recolor the dragon, it would be neat if it had a light green version too.

Keeping a low color count is usually a manner of efficiency. If you're manually picking colors, as pixel artists usually do, it's easier to work with similar colors already accessible in the piece than constantly creating a new color each time you need to color something. In the end, it's also easier to manage 8 colors in a piece when you're trying to touch-up and fix something than say, 32. That's only from a 'work ethic' point of view, that's not taking into consideration the technical reasons, even though there are rarely technical limitations anymore.

Yeah, that person is amazing at line art. I'll probably do another one of those as well.
