This is a mix between George Stobbart and Gabriel Knight

Aside from his hair being cut off a bit at the top and some unnecessary gradient shading (especially on the shirt) I like it. I made a quick edit to show you what I'd do to make it a bit more readable.

1. Reduced color count in various areas.
2. Altered colors for better clarity between shades and highlights.
3. Adjusted pose to make him look less porky. This also allowed me to show his back.
4. Added a pixel height to the hair.
5. Moved the highlights to places where they might naturally occur (at the bend in his chest, on the top of his shoulders and knee-bend of his jeans).

Hopefully this gives you some ideas. I mainly altered the pose because the way his stomach look thrust out just didn't look quite right to me.

Cool man!

YouÂ´ve made a "Sierra-Sprite" to a "Lucas Arts-Sprite"!
Do you know what I mean? For example Alexander of Daventry looks more realistic as Indy because there is a kind of 3d-Effect. The Lucas Arts Sprites are looking a bit cartoonier.
But thank you for editing it. Till now nobody has ever edited a sprite by me.
It was really cool to see that somebody changed my sprite with his own eyes.

I've never personally thought of Sierra sprites in general as looking more realistic but I understand what you mean! I mainly offered an edit because this is the CL and I assumed you wanted some feedback/edits on your work, which is what this forum is for

Of course! I like the edited version

Are you planning to use it in an upcoming game?

Digital Mosaic Games · Tue 29/12/2009 11:22:21

No IÂ´ve made it only for fun

I gotta say i prefer the pose in your version Neon, looks a lot more like Mr Stobbart! The leaning back and letting loose look it what makes him George, it's an awkward way to stand but its makes the character.

Take note of ProgZ's pixeling, he's got it right. Keep your versions chin though!

Digital Mosaic Games · Tue 29/12/2009 12:22:16

Yes! The pixeling is very good from him. I have ever used another technique.

Is it just me or what because I can't see any of your images or your avatar Neon... at first I thought it was your host, but other people appear to see them... this is a bummer because I was really intrigued by your blue-screen animation.

Would you be able to host them somewhere else as well?
Such as 2dAdventure.com
