tried my hand at making a different looking pallette for once. Would love any c+c on it.

I enjoy the concept very much, reimagining standard characters is always a good idea! The current, pot-belly pear-shape of the body and the additional human elements seem to hamper the likeness overall (http://www.usablemarkets.com/images/pie_pacman_chart.png), though. The same quite applies to the palette you're utilizing, it's a fine selection of colour in my mind but doesn't quite convey "Pacman". Maybe you could try utilizing the existing double chin (which is a great idea!) in a manner that would make his shape seem more familiar, for instance by positioning it lower and thus enlarging the mouth as well?

I love the idea! :) Now some critique; the colors seems a little bit "dried out", I do like the first colors more. A bit more contrast wouldn't hurt, and the ghost looks a bit flat. Keep up the good work! :y:
