Contrast. I can only see two or three colors there at 1x. The dithering really doesn't help this at all either. It just lowers the contrast more by muddying the colors, and with it the forms, together.

Much better.

Now that you have the contrast up, shade with the form of the Skeksis. A prime example of where to do this would be the tail, however he's in need of it everywhere.

Don't just darken the legs, shade those too.
