This character is supposed to be a member of a street gang (guns, tuning, hiphop...)
So he needs that kind of attitude. I'm not really that type of person, so I'm stuck. What should I do?
How can I make him have an 'attitude'?
Here he is:

What sort of street gang are you after specifically, whats the location settings and his history?
Well... the gang's like... crime, guns, tuning, hiphop music, drinking, stuff like that.
And the gang operates in abandoned ghetto place in an abandoned soap-factory.
It doesn't look very stable. Or is it leaning to something? It meaning he :P
Maybe try google image searching pictures of ganstas, rappers, and other posers.
He looks kinda craaaazeh with the eyes sticking in each direction. But i like the style.
Its not too bad, just one hint, remember that in truth a character in a game is defined by his surroundings and actions. he looks good in general, you havent gone cliched with bandanas and so on.
Perhaps he could do with a little bulking out as hes looking thin for a gangman.
Tuomas: Yeah, he's supposed to be leaning to the wall.
Big Bro: Yes, I tried to do some googling, but most of the gangstas are in shape with big muscles etc. but I - forgot to say - wanted to make this gang like more "wannabe"-ish; so like the members are mostly thin or fat.
Vict0r: Yeah now I notice it too. He really does...look...weird :-\ Gotta change his eyes.
Mr. Crow: True it is, bandana would fit perfectly!
What about making em black, and of course make him wear a bandana on the head, or hangin out of his pocket, also, gangsters got love for white sneakers, the whiter the better.. make them whiteÃ, ;D
and oh yeh.. gangsters got love for blingbling.. give him a long chain with a big piece hanging...
EDIT: ahh.. i see.. bandana was already mentioned.. anyways.. I am also doubting a real gangster would wear a 2pac shirt, would wear a number like 23 instead more likely.. but if its a wannabe gang, keep him white and keep him wearing the 2pac shirt.. the more wannabe-ish he will look..
also I googled for gangster, lol, just for fun.. and saw this picture.. it looks amazingly if its drawn by a guy from this forums.. whats his name again

To me the guy looks a little bit lean/stoned and has a 'drugged' edge to him. In which case he would be quite thin. I really like your pixel work, it's stylish and sexah. The arm looks a bit skewed though.
sexah??
i think , thats kristjans (gameboys) gangsta is ok cause in estonia actualy is no gangs. and if there is they are colored in black(srry my mistake almost everyone who is betwen 10 -40 is dressed to blac or dark and weapons...: fits, and knife and needle and a stik maybe a bat and rare guns. also bottle bombs[(not molotov, but bombs like that(im not gona be to specific cause then you think im not 15 years old, but some kinda terrorist haveing funn with chating you guys.take a 0.5 l botle full of explosive, then put it into 2- bottlethat filled with screws, nails, small metal balls etc.)-KNOW THAT!!-in estonia(TALLINN) is "Paetänava pommimees"-means "Pae street bomb man"-who have made about 20 explosions in 6 years in one location(pae street). hes in prison now.-so its not my fault when they speek to loud in news how to make this kinda bomb.]-way too much offtopic.
so estoniann gangsters arre... PoOr
but kriss compare "gangsta" and main character they (if you havent changed him) dony look much the same stile.-gangsta is a more detailed(hair-sorry mauin character have none), but face)
I dont quite get what he's saying... Anyone wants to translate it?
Just search for chavs on google.
example:

* Made pants ALOT wider (total redraw), added pockets, pulled them down to knees
* Made shirt atleast 4 sizes larger
* Added stupid ski hat
* Replaced pistol? with Chupa Chupsâ,,¢ (lollipop)
:D
But what the f**k is this Uku guy about, I don't understand neither. Don't drink and try to post on forums at the same time!
Just for fun, I made another edit... I saw gang of idiots at the bus few days ago and they looked like this:

The cross on the head was actually a tattoo, and the gun is replaced with knife this time.
Hell... they made noise and eventually got into a fight with some old man, probably a war veteran. I hate local transport!
Skin heads...

According to what all of you said and InCreator's pm I changed the gangsta like that:

What do you think now?
Its very good.. but look at InCreator's pants.. its master! try to make it sloppy like that one. I like your chain and capuchon-sleeve very much tho!
increator i dont live in tallinn and i dont know about gans there noting and to be onest you were almost right- i ate and tiped with my toes :P.
Ok, I changed the pants. Also did some other minor changes you probably won't notice.
Here:

I think it's much better now, what do you think?
Better! ;D.. finished ;D
gameboy 100 % great
Nice improvement.
I would recommend making both his shirt and jacket larger, particularly the latter. Also, perhaps you can have the hat tilted at an angle or have the end reversed?
Thanks!
Even I thought this was finished too... But, heh, changes can still make it better.Ã, ;)
So I:
*tilted the hat a little bit (didn't reverse it cause InCreator said they never wear hat reversed)
*made the jacket a number larger
*did the same with the shirt
