Barrel

A barrel done for a car game (reference used).

looks really good!
I would add some more colors for shading and use less dither to make it look more realistic.

Well... I did this barrel with a restricted pallete to practise dithering and I like the old school look.
Thank you for the comment

I don't get the old school thing, but:
I think the barrel could look smoother, i know its supposed to look old, and beat up, but the barrel's dithering is a bit too much. The yellow skull symbol shouldn't be outlined imo. I also think having less contrast between the brightest shade you have now and the rest of the piece would be a good idea. Maybe you could use that shade for rust?
Also, where is the lightsource on this exactly?
Over all its not bad.

As Destiny stated, where is the lightsource?

I think.. from the shading, that it's coming from behind the Barrel, maybe make the lightsource come from the left of the picture?

Be more interesting, i think.

Good luck
