My first REAL attempt at a pixelated character

[Tenacious Stu]

I've decided to use AGS for a Major Project Module at University, but I wanted to have a go at creating all of the assets myself. The other night I was practicing with Pixelated Characters and I was initially pleased with the end result, but maybe it could be improved





Thanks in advance for any help anyone is willing to give me

Well, the body and clothes are outlined but the head is not which somehow does not fit.

Get rid of the black outlines on the second pic, rather use darker shades of the color like you did in the first one.

But it's quite a nice sprite, though the second picture kind of gives the illusion that he's leaning forward a bit.

Oh ya, and I would put the buttons on the other side of his shirt line, and maybe use a different color instead of yellow/gold?

Thank you cat & Phemar for the helpful replies. I will certainly take these comments on board. I think your right about the outline, I will change it to darker shades of that colour. What colors would you suggest for the buttons? Maybe a blueish gray? Also, how would I go about rectifying the forward lean? Should I just move his legs one pixel to the right and then tidy it up?

Thanks again

Nice sprite. I like it. He looks like Justin Bieber

:o Oh My God! I need to change it immediately!

Lol, only kidding. I'm sure Bieber is a genuinely nice, well-rounded person
