I did this one for fun.  This is a goof inspired by some old 70s era fashions. 

I didn't get around to adding any hair, because it was getting late.

Swapped the orange and blue colors around to make it a white guy instead of an alien.  Is this more interesting or less?

I'd say it's an improvement - the alien made no sense in human clothes, at least without a storyline to explain why there's a blue alien dude wearing human garb. Now that he's human, he's much easier to accept and seems less random.

Thanks for the feedback. 

It was originally going to be shorter and reptilian, but the design drifted as I was doing the pixels, and the green I chose didn't work with the orange shirt, so he became blue.

In the future I'll try and do a more complete character design before starting the pixels, but since this was a one off I'm ok with the result.
