I was looking for some kind of critique on this guy... he is the main character in the game i am currently working on, and i was curious as to see how people would react to him....
covers are welcome, hints and other techniques are greatly appreciated too...

Im kind of interested in maybe making him more complex and have more animations, buuuut, Im a little on the lazy side.
~zerocell~
NIce anime feel to him, and yeah stop being lazy and ummm animate him ;)
ahhhh, It's not just being lazy, I'm not quite the Sprite maker... Lol, I got him to walk, But it's like old-school Super Nintendo, where they walk with only two frames. I found a Guybrush Threepwood sprite sheet that I'm trying to model after.

Also, I have intentions to make a Zombie game out of Mac Griffin P.I., and as the game progresses, I want him to look more and more wear and tear like.
Almost like the elements and his problems are tearing him apart.
Well I love the sprite! He looks like he could fit into an RPG, adventure game and platformer :)
Thanks!
I'm pretty sure on the fact that this character is going to be in my Sidescrolling shooter / Point and click game.
should be interesting...
If you're not too set on the name, I'd suggest changing it to avoid similarity with a certain other well-known AGS detective (http://ron.the-underdogs.org/character.php?id=10).
does anyonme but me see the resemblince to ol' jacko the wacko?
I think you need to take a few shades out of his hair, or increase the shading on the rest of him. At the moment, his hair really stands out, while the rest of him is quite flat. It also reminds me of Andy Warhol for some reason, which is a Very Bad Thing in my book.

Don't you mean "anime-ate him?"
My humor is really forced, isn't it? ;D
Wow, Redwall,
That does have a very STRIKEING similarity.
I will change the name, because I don't want to be accused of "ripping off" someone else's project...
any suggestions?
How about...Mace Griffin, Bounty Hunter!?

Seriously though, it's your character so it needs a name you are comfortable with. Just don't try so hard to be original that the name is utterly ridiculous sounding, like Sven Njorl Thundermason III.
Okay, I get the point. It has a very strikeing resemblance to a few other games.
*EDIT*
I've since changed the name to Todd Pinkly.
Pinkly???
Well.. it's that what you like!
Lol..
great sprite tho! .. too bad another PI.. but hey.. it's in the genre..
Note on Todd Pinkly.
Computer TRASHED. Hard drive gone, CD drives ripped out, pentium 2 smashed against wall. Todd Pinkly, and anything else done for this game is gone.
I guess there is not going to be another P.I.
It's alright though, new computer on the way, and new game in production...
more on that later.
zero
wow, did you do it MEAN to do it? I always wanted to do that to my computer. ;D just kidding. seriously, so sad :'( I have lost stuff when my computer crashed, I know what its like, make me want to kill the darn thing, but how dost one kill what is already dead? well hopw the mext computer works out better.
