I'm working on adapting Ron Gilbert into pixel and was wondering what people think so far. I was imagining finishing the body in a BigHead-LittleBody style.
I wonder if the front view is too circular or not.
Any ideas on how to improve this would be appreciated.

I've never met the guy, but I think this looks more like the image.
A few things. The hair height is different, and the beard doesn't follow up on the left. I didn't do a great job on the lips, but the side view looks weird.

Infidel! INFIDEL!
Hahahaha! Awesome!
His pixel face still somehow looks too thin & toned ;)
I have just a few minor suggestions. I don't know what sort of limit you have on your palette, but I added an extra highlight skintone (featuring an admittedly lazy attempt at highlighting the right areas). I also browned up his hair, partially because those dark greys kind of washed him out, but mostly because his hair is dark brown. I also gave the eyes a little bit more depth, and changed the shape of the nose and the lips in the sideview just a little. Just some ideas of where to go from where its at now without changing it very drastically!
