Hi! This is my first post on the AGS forums, so if this isn't appropriate, please just let me know.
Anyway, I'm trying my hand at pixel art and I know a little about shading, but I'm at the point where I need some direct pointers.
I've been working on a (possible) main character. He's supposed to be wearing a spacesuit and the thing on his chest is a chestplate/insignia thing. I added it to make him a little more interesting to look at. I'm kinda happy with the design, but he looks flat and I'm not sure where to go next.
