Some ideas:
Draw it at an angle to suggest the shape/volume better. Kinda tricky to when pixling though, cuz you get jaggies, but getting volume might be worth it.
Also, you can try generic chrome. Blue up, Brown down.
Try to come up with some idea for functionality. Something which moves or folds out. Maybe it transforms?

Look at Arne's concept more. What are you missing? Range of values, from pure white specular to darkness. What are you missing? Volumetrics. The flat plane on the top would catch more light than the angled sides of the ship. Leave the dithering for after you've got a good grasp of the values.

You seem to have understood quite well.
That is looking much better.

The outlining still needs work, and the feet don't follow the same perspective as the rest of the ship.
I think this is a case where dithering is not helping, and your shades seem to end in very straight lines that arne't true to the form of the ship.

Made an edit, mostly saying: the selout on the top looks kind of bad. also, a couple lighting/aa/color/polishing suggestions. oh, and those reds were all quite close/wasted I think (though I didn't change that I well as I could have).



Anyways, very nice progress, feature-material maybe?

I'm (as well as many other people on this forum are) using Pro Motion, it's a pixel art suit with a built in animation package.. but if you're only looking for an easy way to stitch together a few images into an animation an alternative would be UnFREEz.
