The thing that works best for me in that regard is starting with a fairly limited palette from the beginning - 5 or 6 solid colours (or less, depending), and everything else tints of those solids.

Yep, i follow a similar line often. less even. Two or three at most.

Though however busy or un busy it gets, i have found the trick i mentioned for photoshop works a dream assuming you're working digitally. analog it would be under-painting, or tinted glazes.

Great stuff on here Shannon, impressive.

I haven't read an x-comic in years but that was a very cool take on Omega Red, and your Voltron image is awesome!
