Hey guys! New to the forum here, though I've lurked around a few times.
I've been working on a game for a little while, and I decided that I want to up the resolution of it. My original character was just 16 pixels high, and this new one is going to be around 32. My experience with pixels is pretty limited (I've dabbled), as is my experience with art in general (no formal training, just a lot of drawing on my own). So I thought I would get some feedback!
The premise of the game is the player is an intern for Death in the afterlife, having to go about doing menial jobs for him.
Here's the little guy now:
Here he is x3, for those of us that still have the blurring larger image issue:
Here's a shot from the game before I decided to start redoing the graphics:
My main concern is that originally, he looked kind of adorable. I dunno if that really comes across in his twice as tall version. (Originally, also, in my mind at least, he was supposed to be in a cloak, like Death traditionally is. My girlfriend, having heard the plot of the game, apparently always thought he was in a suit. When I started to redo him, she demanded he be in a suit and not a cloak, and I think it's actually better for it).
So critiques? Suggestions?
