I'd throw in another highlight color to break up the larger highlight areas, but then again I ruin a lot of my pieces that way.

Try making the highlight in top conform to the shape of the mask a little more, add very slight flanges on the sides. If you overdo it then it'll make the sides look too round. As is you could get a good bulgy cartoon look in there if you pull it off right.

that looks a charactr in a nitrome game. did you get your insperation from it

Me and Val struggled to get his costume glossy without adding any colours to it, and this is what we came up with.
And yeah, we're changing the colour palette since he's looking like a Nitrome creation, so if ya got any suggestions about what colours it should be in please tell me abot your thoughts!

Thanks!

Thanks

The sharp highlight edges makes his costume get the glossy kinda glossy look I'm after, so I'll leave that?
And another colour.. what colour should that be, bright purple or white? 

As a personal rule of thumb I shy away from pure white or pure black.

I kinda likes it without the dithering. but it looks good like that to. i think you should finish both and post them, together. very good work. and i agree that pure black dosent look the best.

Not completely finished but.. yeah.
Ill add a cool BG later on too

If you're animating this then I'd suggest the cel-shaded style. It works a bit better with animation than dithering because it's a lot easier to make it look smooth. Although personally I think both look good! :D

kool but i still dont like the feet shading
