While we're still vaguely on this topic...this was hilariously easy, all you really have to do is take Magic Wand to it in Paint.NET, but I figured I'd go ahead and do it while I was here.
Click here if you'd rather view the image by itself

Mafia (Black Dahlia, Ottomo)
Lab (Stanley, Hive, Leduc, Ileum, Brain Drain)
Circus (Feng, Hubrecht, Beatrix)
Egrets (Roxie, Panzerfaust, Adam, Molly, Graham-o-Tron)
Dagonians (Yu-Wan, Minette)
Slayers (Or Team Star-Wulf, depending on who you ask...) (Beowulf, Annie)
Partners in Time (Scythana, Isaac)
Where the Hell do I even Class this Guy (Samson)
The Divine (Aeon, Venus)
The characters already placed above (Victoria, Andy, etc.) are absent, and those already with color maps (Deep Violet) doubly so. Note that some of the characters have smoother outlines than others, meaning, of course, that getting a color map of them will probably be easier.

Also no Robo-Fortune. Sorry.

While you got it done... it's not really that good. The point of the ones I made was that all that random grey isn't there. :x
 
Oh. Well.
I assumed that because you mentioned they would have to be redrawn, little details like that wouldn't particularly matter; only the shapes really mattered.
Oops. Mistake on my part.
 
Annie color map
I would love to have used this color map ('Tisn't shaded, but it will do) and scurried away to make Annie as Star-Man. Starmannie? Annie, Girl of the Star-Men? I dunno.

But then I realized you saved it as a .jpg file.

Why did you do that? Is this some kind of cruel joke?

Alright, I'll make this as comprehensive as I can.

Whenever you save a picture (Or anything, for that matter, but for today's purposes we're talking about pictures) on your computer, there are multiple formats in which you can save it. The type in which it shall save is denoted by the "Save as type:" line, underneath the "File name:" line. on my build. By clicking on your currently selected format, a dropdown list will appear in which you can see all the available formats.

The format you chose, either inadvertently or intentionally, for your Annie colormap was a J-peg image (Also known as .jpg, which, as you'll notice, is at the end of the name of the picture and at the end of the URL where you uploaded it). .jpg images were created with the intention of being the choice format for photographs taken by a digital camera; it blurs colors together and gives them a smooth finish. When applied to any digital picture, however, it blurs and distorts what were originally intended to be pure colors. If you open your Annie colormap in MS Paint and take a paint bucket to it, you'll notice that an area that was previously nothing but one solid color has been broken up into tiny little areas, each with slight variations on what is basically the same color. It makes doing a quick, clean palette swap nigh-impossible, which defeats the purpose of making the colormap in the first place.

In order to avoid this in the future, you should refrain from saving your digital images in the .jpg format. A bitmap image (.bmp) will remove that, but a PNG image (.PNG) will accomplish the same thing while taking up less memory space, making it the ideal choice for digital images.

^This. This one thousand times over.

I don't have a computer.
 
What program do you use? Well, on your phone.
I use an iPad. And procreate.
 
Beowulf time! I've had these two ideas for a WHILE

Alex from Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike, and Kanji Tatsumi from Persona 4.
I guess you can KIND OF call Kanji's chair a reference...? It references his chair in Arena...
Also, ignore that Beowulf has invisible socks...

This thread has taken off with everyone providing wonderful palettes! Originally this was just a thread for me to take requests and make palettes for you, but that's selfish, and a lot of people on here are really talented. But I also realize that it is very hard for newer artists to get started. So I'm updating this post with all of the color maps we have so far.

Yes, I know Ms. Fortune was supposed to have a Tira palette, but I think it fits more on Cerebella.
Reasons:
1. Both underlings of an evil cause
2. Misguided
3. Clown-ish
4. Acrobatic
(BTW Vice-Versa references Tira's weapon)

To be fair, saving an image as a JPG is like "rookie mistake" level image editing, and is a completely valid thing to get mad about.
Providing an image as a JPG is basically a giant middle finger to anyone intending to edit it.
JPGs are lossy, you cannot have a lossless JPG. When working with digital images where the point is to preserve the image exactly, it is one of the worst formats to use.
Open a JPG -> save (as JPG again) -> open -> save -> open -> save etc will noticeably degrade the image even though no editing was performed, regardless of quality settings.
PNGs are lossless, so this is not a problem there.

@Rachel Phoenix
I really like Sindel and Shang Tsung and Ching, they're good color combos!
 
Alright, guys. I'm getting ready to make Noob Color Maps for every character that has a Color Map posted on this thread. But this will take quit a bit since I have to color almost a pixel at a time a lot of the time. And the fact I clean up the map too. So get ready for that hopefully soon.
 
I can do the same in a bunch of minutes <:T it's just about taking off the shadows
 
I FINALLY finished the Ms. Fortune Noob Color Map... It took FOREVER, because of those damned stitches being black and the blood being 500000 different shades.

I REALLY hope you guys appreciate these... I put so much time and effort into them...
