Rounder, a bit lighter, also cleaned up the edges a bit. Thanks for the feedback guys.
No, noticeable difference other than it being rounder (keep in mind that even something black has highlights) and I would suggest you never use the blend tool on equipment!
Okay, this one has #3 in the range above as a midtone, and I had to be very careful to get the contrast on the shadows and highlights to look acceptable, but something's not quite right, I'm not sure what.

Wow, just yesterday I was thinking it would be nice to have a ninja outfit, to go along with the pirates...(pirates v. ninjas)
Imo the second version is the nicest, maybe just lighten the highlights up a tad making them more prominent.

Ninjas vs. Pirates PvP: Wear a ninja mask or pirate hat and you can attack people who wear the other headgear anywhere. Would be kind of fun
Regarding the mask above: You shouldn't be afraid of pulling the contrast up a lot. I think it would also look good when you would mix a bit of blue in the highlight. Blue is frequently used as a highlighting color for black.

You might have heard a certain rumor about me. This rumor is completely false. You might also have heard the other rumor about me. This rumor is 100% accurate.

and Cowboys rule (Chuck Norris is a Cowboy ie Walker Texas Ranger)
Sert if you take a close look at my Cowboy hats you can see a subtle difference in there lighting.
I on the white I darken were the the light was blocked like normal but on the black I lightened the parts were the sun would hit the hardest. I hope that helps.
