Souly, with a piece this small, using dither techniques other than 1x1 is just going to make the metal look MORE dull. If you switch up the dithering style it will just look like blemishes. 1x1 looks fine.

@opacus, the 1x1 is much cleaner than that example. stick with the old(er) one.

i havent even really done a piece using it so someone like helm would be better to discuss it with.( i think pep introduced me to the tecnique when he showed an example of it to someone)

Thanks alot Ryu :)
I tried it, I kinda like it:

And even if it isn't that great, was a good practice anyway.

I am not sure myself of how much interlace is too much and so. I think it's useful for showing rough texture... I wouldn't use it on metal a lot unless I wanted rust and such, and I'd always offset it with nondithered bodies of color. I like the piece, but what I feel it suffers from is lack of volumetric distinction. It's too blobish. Where are the corners? Sharper, defined edges and flats is what you need I think.

Good point there Helm, never really thought alot about the forms, but I think you are right.
Tell me if this works:

No it doesnt :P maybe it will work if you take 1 pixel of the ends to make it less pointy and then make all other end more pointy (looks like you only did the ends that are next to the white back) anyway keep it up

oh and your tank jump, so it has an angle, keep that angle on the door on top! (thats no problems with you other versions)

by corners he also means not just the edges. if it's square in shape then add more edges on the inside too.
