It looks like the lighting on the body and side panels somewhat conflict. It's the highlights on the body that look as if the light comes from higher and the panels look as if it comes from more of the side. The highlight on the side panel in the preview makes it a little closer to what my mind wants to see, but it could still probably be a little higher. I suppose it could be 2 areas of lighting; a strong one from the top and a duller one from the side, but it could just be color.
Which is the other thing. The color you used is nice and appropriate for the subject. As it darkens though it might benefit from some hue shifting. As it is, it's a very good transition color to color. The dithering is really good from my standpoint! But as it darkens it browns out (that's just how orange works unfortunately). I wonder if it would benefit from a little grey/blue-ing or even reddening. I don't know how is approach it unless I played with it, but it's just something to keep in mind.
Great job! I can't wait to see more and what you do with your creativity!
