Character Backside Sprite (see front first)

[Akumayo]

He is starting to look a little like an astronaut

Yes... now that I really look at it... yes he is beginning to look like an astronaut...Ã,  great... not exactly what I was aiming at.Ã,  I have some ideas for another makeover... I'll begin working on them tomorrow I guess...Ã,  As for his nose, it's a rule, he's not allowed to have a nose.

EDIT:Ã,  Went back and tried again.Ã,  I think I acheived the anti-astronaut look pretty well in the alternatives below the main.Ã,  In the main I simply gave his weapon back and added eyebrows.Ã,  In the two below, (a) picture, added shaded coller, (b) picture, added unshaded color.Ã,  Which looks better, shaded/unshaded?Ã,  And does he still look like an astronaut or some other odd profetion to anyone?

Which one is nicer?

[ManicMatt]

I prefer the one on the right, just outta personal preference.

by the way is this character actually russian and german? Does it not take away some of the mystery?

[MarVelo]

the patches on the bottom of the coat look awkward, i like the bottom left one

[Akumayo]

I was leaning towards the bottom right personally.Ã,  I think I'll remove the patches on the knees, mainly because they'll be hard to animate.Ã,  And Perhaps he should only be german... the russian flag isn't dark enough... I dunno... he was German and Russian in the comic book.Ã,  I might make another paintover, but I'm still not sure about which collar look is better.

EDIT:Ã,  Made more changes (went with unshaded collar) and here's what just might be the finished product.Ã,  Unless someone else has some suggestions of course.

Any other suggestions?

[Akumayo]

Okay, using the new sprite, I developed a backside view... and I'm disappointed with it.

How can I improve this?
