Thanks, it does help and i get it. Had a few doubts about the dithering myself, i'll look into changing it to something better.
The shading is something i struggled with, both on the cape, hat and hair, couldn't really get to something that satisfied me, and got kinda stuck.
Edit:
Messed with it a bit more. Better/worse? Went for a lowest color usage shading type.
And a comparison switchy thing:
(hmm, my copy paste skillz messed with the older's palette a bit)
I find it lacking. What am i missing? Are hue shifts mandatory? Help! :S
