just something i'm working on..

you on the other hand were fairly negative and disheartening in how you gave your advice.

That was in direct response to your negativity to Jetters. If you're going to blow people off that are trying to help, that's not gonna fly.

Regardless, I messed around with this for a while, but since it's not complete there wasn't much more I could do.
As you can see, I reshaded the helmet in particular and parts of the body. I'm not the best at shading so someone else could probably fix this better, but I tried to make the colors more vibrant and the shading "pop" a bit more.

Mine is on the left, of course.
As far as the colors go, I removed the entire bottom row of shades because they were so close together that it was unnecessary to have them and instead turned them into a single dark grey.
The white and the lightest white/gray were also so close together that there was no need in having them, so I turned them into a single color as well.
Overall I took the color count down from 19 to 13, and I'd say it didn't lose any detail or anything in the transition.
I normally would have gone with a bluer white but you complained about that earlier so I made it more white. Hopefully that fits.

Oh, and as far as the green parts go: are you sure they're supposed to be green? That seems more like it's just a strange coloring on that image you had because I found this image elsewhere

and they're gray, not green.
