Okay, I had another shot at shading. Tried not to shade it needlessly this time, trying to stick to areas where it's needed to show shape.

Oh, and Metaru, which thread did you mean? The only other of my threads I can find an edit by you in is my Gurren Lagann thread, but that was also using my palette, so I can't quite get the idea of what you mean by "contrast for the sake of contrast".
EDIT: Made some more modifications to both, and stuck them into the same sheet. I tried looking at some SNES sprites for palette references too.
