The spaceship looks pretty good, but coming from me, that may mean nothing.  :crazy: The red strip is a little distracting though.  As for Mr. Davy, all I can say right now is that the colors are a little off.  I think he's a little more greenish-blue than yellow.
The above post may not be helpful at all, as the author usually has no idea what he is talking about.

The spaceship is really boring to look at, it's too dull really, if you're going to do a flying saucer, do it from an overhead angle so we can tell. Also he's a ref pic for you of Davy Jones. http://www.magicalmountain.net/images/MovieReviews/dead-mans-chest/davy-jones-progression3.jpg

Apologies for the one liner in advance...

You are having trouble finding good colors for davey? use the colors you used for the eyes, possibly a little bit less saturated, and you have a pretty nice pallette for him... What do ya know..it's not a one liner after all :D

EDIT_ forget what I said about the pallette, use lower saturated yellows.

Hmm for the prate, I would make hi more obviously a pirate, and I would raise the contrast, I can't really tell there is any shading on this peice at 1x.

This is just an overall critique on your palletes. Even though I like your Davy Jones, I think there is a lot of colors in that palette that are wasted because they're so close together (in shades). Same thing goes with your space ship. You seem to be using a gradient (11 greys, 5 yellows, 4 reds?), although this may not be a concern of you, it makes the piece look fuzzy and unattractive. You might want to use a reference on how to detail the ship without going over board on colors. Check this thread out, it has lots of examples of different metal coloring ideas: http://www.wayofthepixel.net/pixelation/index.php?topic=3394.0

MUCH better, but I'd do a bit more contrast in the skin. Nice improvement, though :)
