Well, to be honest. The best thing to get better, is to just draw. Try out anatomy, perspective, color theorie. Redraw thinks, read/view tutorials online and get some books. If you draw 100 hands you will get better and better. And thats true for everything. Get used to the fact that you are going to draw alot of things that did not turn out well. A real sketchbook is full of ugly things. (Not like those showreel sketchbooks you see online)
You can try to mix colors a bit into different directions . Something like : if red value < 100 . greenvalue = redvalue + 20; else bluevalue = red- 20.......
Playing around with something like this can generate some sweet variations
I sugesst, give it a try. It works, you can setup a pallet and its pretty simple to use. On the other hand, there are other tools especially made for pixel art. What you prefer and what you are going to miss can no one else tell you.
Thanks, very nice set. I like it to get multiple sets at once. This way you can choose the one that fits best, without playing around with the pallette. And a simple copy and paste shouldn't be that hard if you need to save space and want to use just one...
The question is, what are the benefits? How often do you decide to edit settings outside a game? And how often are you angry because you have to end/restart the game because you want to change some `settings?
Sure there are some rare reasons, like when you cant start a game because of some damaged graphic settings, but you could just add a commandline command to launch the app with standard values or save the settings into a readable format xml/ini/txt

Looks promising, but still a way to go :)
