I spent some time making pixels today. This is where I ended up...

Here's one without background (for edits n such)

And forcefully 4x scaled because Chrome just sucks.

I'm not sure what to do with eyes. They just don't work. I've been arranging and rearranging pixels for quite a while, but it still doesn't feel quite right.
Also, bomber jacket looks like he's hiding litter of kittens under it, although that's actually quite possible in an adventure game :D
Any ideas?
I like it!!! :)
Great work!
I think I figured this out: made head smaller and now I can get away with no visible eye elements at all

Also fine-tuned shading on bomber jacket and general proportions

^A lot better!
Spot on work there Inc. :-D
It looks much better now.
Somehow, shrinking the head fixed all of the problems I noticed, even (strangely enough) the hunched shoulders.
This is a rather good sprite, colors and contrast-wise.
Maybe just slightly increase the contrast: everything facing upwards should be slightly lighter (e.g. shoulders) and everything facing downwards should be slightly darker (e.g. the lower part of the beard) ?
But it's good enough to go as it is.
