I've been working on my pixel art platformer for a while and I've recived multiple negative comments about the dithering I use on my main character straw hat. So I've been trying to make it look more natural:

1.This is the original character design I got complains.
2.This is a little more polished and removed the dithering, as you can see the hat looks kind of plastic.
3.I added this texture to try make it look more organic, but I'm not sure if I'm back to the original problem.
So what do you guys think?

I like the look of your character here! The dithering thing does seem spot on though, I don't think it was doing you any favors in the first one.

I think your best bet is going to be smack dab in the middle between 2 and 3 -- using the sort of 'straw' grid texture you were going for, but just a little less, as it looks a smidge too busy.

Keep up the good work though!

Thank you! I already see some improvement on the character.
