Now I see. Too flat, yep.

I think he means that it looks very flat, even though you do have a clear light source.
Example

Pillowshaded? Seriously? Naive, I thought I marked location of the light source. And it's not centered, obviously.

||||, thank you!

that dithering is so out of place, you really dont need it at all.

not to mention how absurdly pillowshaded this is.
 

Great interpretation of the shape.

Next one is one-third the size of this. As for me it's a quite big difference: in one case, the distance between elements is 3-4 pixels ("I'm sorry, sir, but there is no free room for dithering" ); in another case free space about dozen pixels.

But you did it so well on your next piece!

At least try to reduce it!

Manupix, I tried, without dithering is much worse.

Thank you very much, lads!

Textures look great, well done.

Nicely creative. Love the pink version =)

Now please kill that dithering. Watch out for banding, in the stabilizers shading and highlights.

Woha, very nicely done. The shading and textures look amazing.

Using the colour just as a reflection on the glass is very clever.

It is the best use of the orchid shape so far (especially on the frontal wings).

cool metal texture! 

That looks fabulous! 

But wait a minute!

Thanks! Sure, I can make it pink... but this is going to be pretty dinky bomber, isn't it?

This is all kinds of awesome. Very creative, kudos. Not exactly an overwhelming amount of pink, but hey
