Thanks for the input guys! (and the time to do those pieces)

I can see that by comparison mine looks pretty flat. I like what you have done with the shape of the magnet Helm. I also think the way you did the wire wrap was interesting. It's kind of exaggerated. I've noticed a lot of that in pixel art, sometimes you have to exaggerate stuff to really make them look good. I suppose it's a human perception thing.

I like what you handle the shading of the poll Rawsushi and yeah I didn't even realize you use dithering until I zoomed in. I'll take all of this into account and see what I can come up with.

Cheers,

EDIT: In interest of not double posting. I have redone the magnet arm based on your input/examples. I'd love to hear everyone's input =)
I used 13 colors (including black). I dithered the hell out of it.


Honestly, most of my stuff doesn't use so many shades as the first magnet arm.
