im gonna try my way first, by shading the outline, and dithering, mainly because i need some practice dithering on something big. we'll see how it comes out.

I don't think you really need dithering on a jalapeņo. Just sayin'.

i know....

well, thats the best i could do, where do i  go from here?

Redo the big black line part.  It's ugly.

Just to note, jalapeņos are usually green.  Nice try, though I agree that it would probably be better smaller.

[EDIT] Looked up jalapeņos on Wikipedia: "During a growing period, a plant will be picked multiple times. As the growing season comes to an end, the jalapeņos start to turn red. The fresh market is for green jalapeņos and red jalapeņos are considered inferior. Growers either discard the red jalapeņos into the ground or use them for the production of chipotles." [/EDIT]

Don't forget the shiny white specular hilights. Make the shading kinda lumpy, too, sorta like in Ptoowing's pepper.

Might I suggest a rotting jalapeno instead?
It might add interest and detail to the jalapeno, given that it's a very large piece.

Ok where you go from here as you asked.

Study the other jalapeņo and see what is done differently. Notice that ptoing made it allot smaller. Which you might want to consider doing.
Then also learn from the pallet as like mentioned you need the white hi lights.

Good luck bot bad for a first pixel piece, just keep practicing.
