You should remove his mouth. He looks like his scared or something.

big brother, great work, you totely lowered the colour count while at the same time improving the work all around. if i mayÃ,  make a sugestion...

a single pixal i know but it makes a differance.
btw GREAT work on the jacket. it REALLY looks like a leather jacket now. :o

[What a loser.]

Although that one looks amazing, I guess his looking for a Sierra-like Fell?

That paintover is incredible!!! :o

I believe it answers my question to use 16-bit colour.  Although the colours you've chosen are brilliant,  I don't think I could even attempt sprite work at under 20 colours, & it is beginning to lose some Sierra-ness to it with the lack of assigned colours.
