I know I saved this as transparent cause it works on every othe rplace I post it, but I cant get it transparent for some reason This was done quite a while ago. Looking back on it now I realize how sloppy it kinda looks. To me it's just a "meh" piece, but I was trying new things. I went for a dirty dithering style, and believe it or not, it is pixel by pixel.I'm not sure my shading really is right, I wanted it to look shiny, but it really just looks...wierd...it's shaded alot like the reference though, and I'll try to find that soon. I just kinda lost the desire to improve thsi and decided to submit it. C&C please, cause this piece kinda needs it.

This looks really unfinished. I don't have an issue with random dithering, but in a lot of placed it's so chunky that it doesn't really look like dithering - there's not gradated effect created, it just looks like chunks of colour are missing. The highlights in the dark areas also look really rough. You've AAed the outside of the helmet, yet these areas are not AAed and their shapes are jagged and inconsistent.

I think you would be better off posting this in the WIP forum, it seems too unfinished for the gallery.
