Just a quick observation - the head of the sprite looks higher and less wide than the one in the picture. The eyes are also have bigger height than width but in the picture it is the other way around,

The character looks interesting...

This is really cool character. Outline could be a little darker maybe. And I'm not sure if the skin color is the same as the reference, but then again, I don't know if it was supposed to be...

I love this character. The walking animation looks like he has a limp, but I think it makes it more unique. The "ooo" frame on the talking animation is too far left. Great character. Has he got a name?

I agree, he is basic, but really good. well animated ,and likable. great job!

Well, he is a character of one of my cartoons I'm trying to do with my friends. In estonian his name is: "Muremees" what means "Problem Man" but i think he is gona be "IssueMan" in english versions, if i am going to make them...

i made this"ooo" more like as"uuu"

EDIT//made new person:
His name is Entel, sort of a sidekick for IssueMan (his friend actually)

EDIT2//
Igor, a Jevgenis(Evil doctor) helper:

jep, it will be full of cliches

Legs and hands are probably not finished, but he looks to of different style, mainly because of his eyes. Also maybe you could make his bodyshape more skinny so it would differentiate more from other character. And while at it, maybe a bit taller also.

"Muremees", so it would be then "Murhemies" in the version dubbed in finnish

(not that there ever would be one)

Uku · Tue 08/05/2007 14:43:14

New Entel on you comand.:

zabnat · Tue 08/05/2007 15:51:07

I was thinking something like this:

Just a suggestion though, might not be what you wanted...
I didn't know if the line below his eyes were supposed to be nose or mouth, but I though it could be mouth and edited it so. I also used a little darker outline on the skin color.

As you know that usually when there is two (hero & villain, hero & sidekick) they need contrast. Classic example is that other is short and fat and other is tall and skinny

Also as say before you should avoid using bright colors in the background when drawing sprites...

Igor looks very nice, although he has the same color scheme on his clothes as the hero. But other than that it looks great. Overall you have very nice style going on here and if the backgrounds and story are as good as these your game will be very enjoyable.

Noo, Entel is suposed to be fat, and this nosey mouth was ment to be mouth. :

Story is going to be(already working on it)about Issueman and Entel are at the quest of finding the meaning of lifewhere they run up to the evil scientist Jevgeni (Hes seret) who wants to sealt all piss and poo from earth to power his enegry-machine to power his another secret machine.....

So im gona make Igor a grey jacket and brown pants so no-one will see his khm"mistakes"...?
