[WIP] Armor + Helmet

[Jamoka]

Hello all, I'm new here and I have been working on a piece of chest armor and a helmet and so I would like to ask for C & C on it inorder to improve. Its my second pixelation and I'm quite happy with it, tell me what you think.

Old:
New Armor:
And then the helmet I just did:

I'm quite liking the design, but what striked me was the high color count. You have quite a few colors that are way to similar. You have 16 colors in there, but you could easily do it with 8 or less. also, the overall form seems kinda flat... you could realy use some of your darker shades to give the helmet and chest more form.

pretty decent for a second piece though... keep it up!

Thank you, I know the multitude of colors is a big problem I'm just new to this and I can't really figure out how I can do it without, would you be able to give me an example, I would really appreciate it. This way I won't use so many colors as I move on.
