Title: Sherif for C'n'C

A sherif I drew for my game. Something seems wrong with him to me.

Just a few suggestions:

Lower the head & thicken the neck. At the moment he looks like some kind of giraffe-cowboy.

Try to make him a little more.......symmetrical. The arms are different thicknesses - his right arm is thicker. Also, I'd make his actual arms a little thicker - they are a bit......strawy (for want of a better word).

To sort out the face a little, perhaps add some hair & try to make the nose look a little more realistic - do this by studying your own nose in a mirror perhaps & try to copy the shape.

Also, to make him more of a definate cowboy, I'd suggest studying a lot of cowboy pictures to see what clothing they wear. You could get the colours & general style & look better this way:

Google image search for cowboys (http://images.google.com/images?q=cowboys&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&btnG=Google+Search)

But still, not a bad start :). You're on your way to having a great sprite.

Yes, he doesn't have any guns! What kind of selfrespecting sherif wouldn't carry a gun. Do you know how wild the west is?  : D

Neither of those work. I saw the image when it was a bmp - before you changed it to a png. I can't see any of your png ones.
