Two Characters - Party in Room 26 sprites

[ScottDoom]

These are two characters the character artist (not me) has drawn. So praise should go to him, and not me.

The reason they are so different in size is because the character artist draws them to match the backgrounds after I draw them, so we don't have to scale them with the AGS engine. The only character that will be scaled is the main character, who is not drawn yet.


What we need suggestions on:
1. The beanie on his head. Right now it sort of looks like a really weird head-shape with a bad hairdo.
2. The "cig" in his hand. It looks a little strange.
3. Possibly the lip. I see it as a big lip, but others may think it's a beard.
4. Anything else you want to change.


1. Possibly her entire image. She's supposed to be a prostitute that acts like a business-woman, but right now she almost looks like a flight attendent. I think making her a little sexier would help.
2. Her face. The character artist just couldn't get this to look right. She's standing in the very back of a largely scaled room, so that's why she appears so small. Actually, she needs to be about 10 pixels taller...
3. Anything else you want to change.

The man - I think his face is fine, has a cartoony look to it but I like it.
Only the arm holding the cig seems to be a bit too long. Other than that, well done!


I did a quick edit of the woman (hope it's okay with your artist):



She looks a bit different now, not sure if this is what you want or not. I just slapped my style over it.

[ScottDoom]

1. Changed black outlines, to fit background style more.
2. Shortened fat lip on bottom.
3. Added some details to the beanie.
4. Made the arm shorter.


1. Combined the original image with Bernhard's paint-over. Thanks, Bernhard.

By the way, I did these edits. The character artist wasn't around to change them. He'll have new characters up soon, but right now he's sick so he isn't working.

[Bernie]

He looks better now!
Only one thing - maybe you could make the outline of the clothes a tad darker? It doesn't seem to stand out enough from the shade color.

Other than that, great job!
