Hey folks, I did some Jedi sprites for my wip Star Wars game some time ago (also got it animated already) and was wondering about the colours. I just played FoA lately and realized, that the colours are much stronger. Please tell me what you think about it:

Thanks :D
btw, he's supposed to look a bit goofy. I hope I got that right, too.
Unless you're deliberately trying to copy FoA's style I think it's perfectly fine as long as the sprite's color depth doesn't clash with the backgrounds. If your background colors are bright then the sprites should be bright too. I can't see anything wrong as it is. Great looking sprites you have there!
I think he looks great, and has a playful look to him. I made a quick edit to adjust a few of the colors and some of the face shading.
1. Pushed the skin highlight towards red, the midtone to a red-brown and the shadow to a red-purple. This gives the shades more contrast and makes the face a little clearer.
2. Changed the hair colors more toward orange instead of a mustard brown. I did this presuming the character to be Luke, so if I'm wrong I suppose his hair can be any color.
3. Adjusted face shape slightly on the side view, rounding the jaw just a bit to make him look less fat.
4. Reshaded face to make it look rounder in the front view and made the neck stand out more from the head.

I didn't mess with the rest of the colors because I think they work, and the pose and basic anatomy work for a more comical version of the character. Nice work!
Thank you!
The new face shading looks better, indeed, but I think I'll keep my hair colour. I'll add some more contrast to it, I guess. It also isn't Luke Skywalker btw :D
I have no help to say to you, only one think to say:
WHOA!
very good characterized faces and pseudocomic style! (like monkey island)
Aw, he's a cutie! If I was his gramgram, I'd be pinching his cheeks.
:D Thanks! The one good thing about Jedi is, that they all look the same. Or kinda. You animate one = you animate all.
