Hi,
I'm making a portrait for the Roger character and I would like some critiques about everything from size, art style, facial features, etc.
The portrait will be used in the default templates, so it should suit everyone's preferences.
I tried this size of 64x72, honestly, I'm not familiar with how the Sierra-style dialogues should look, so I ended up not knowing the perfect size for the portrait. I tried to block the UI inside the 320x200 canvas and draw a portrait in a size I think would look okay.
I'll push the details after feedback.

For the example, here's how it looks like in Space Quest 5 (please ignore the name label, this is not necessary for this art, and may be generated in game script anyway):

Nice, the size can be bigger then.
I'll rework it and draw some different neutral facial expressions.
This is Roger's portrait I've made so far, I tried out a few expressions for him, maybe it's the case of having different expressions instead of having just a talking animation.
I kept his original sprite's color palette, but I can change it if needed.

I like the second one better than your first. There are only two things I would like to mention:
- I think even from the small sprite it looks like his chin is wider and more square.
- The color of the highlights on the skin does not quite fit. To me, it looks more like dirt.
Other than that, great work!
I'm sorry, I have probably missed this, but was there any conclusion to this portrait?
