Closeup portraits

[aussie]

Hi,

I have made these three closeups based on some earlier sprites by buloght.

They kinda look allright when you zoom in, but they're not great at the screen resolution - which is the resolution of the game.



I just need some advice as to how to improve them. In particular, I want to develop a style that is both simple and effective (i.e. I'm trying to minimize shading and stuff like that because I'm not very good at it).

Paintovers are more than welcome.

The main problem is that they are very visibly paintovers of upscaled smaller sprites.

The wide lines need to go, and all lines need to be a lot smoother.
