Okay, as you can tell the light source is coming from the top left. The pixel art isnt finished, I think the line art is near perfect, and the shading is as best as I can get it. Yes it is a 3-bit sprite(Only using the colors Black, Dark Grey(126,126,126), Light Grey(210,210,210), and White, with no transparencies). I didnt use a picture as a reference, just kinda went with what I can remember a ufo kinda looking like. what I did base it off of though is kind of like a cake, with little frosty edges at a 3/4 view. Im debating on adding a shadow to the bottom right or not. Or how big it shall be, but for now tell me anything that should be added, like an antenna or other things. And give me some C&C on what it looks like right now. Its going to be double sized, but I kept it small for now.

Thats kinda what I was going for, I think I know what you mean by "shade the bottom areas". where those white bumps are, they are areas that really pop out, so i'll put shading under and above them. I'll make 3 different copies, and see which one looks best...
1).  2). 3).  1). Added a shadow to the bottom right, tried to make it into porportion of the regular sprite versus the light source. 2). Kept the original sprite. 3). Added some shading dithered lines above and below both of the jutting white circular bumps that run across through the top and bottom of the ufo. | |
But overall its a nice spirit. (at first i thought it was a cake with windows >_>)
