I came here to get crit

Dude, there's like, 7 colors. Strong shadow, weak shadow, base, weak highlight, strong highlight, shiny highlight, and dark outline. And dithering can be used for a textural effect as well. I agree on the straightlines but can't think of a way to fix it without changing the position. Suggestions?

I suppose I should've mentioned that this is somewhat based off the Mongolian Deathworm.

Hm, I feel like this response was rather snippy. To elaborate, colorcount doesn't matter too much and is currently low enough.
