Okay, so once again souly has inspired me with his leetness, so I've decided to play around with terrain and character platform mocks.
Obviously the character is lacking a whole lot of originality, so thats a key issue. the character I would like to keep simple so that I can animate him easily enough. if all turns out well, I will post a platform game demo of this just for fun.

Maybe you want to add just ... one distinctive item on your character ?

ooh could you elaborate a little on the ega-apogee style and the ceylan thing...(ceylan a shade of blue?) I googled it but failed in finding a pixel related topic.
btw I took your advice on making my character a little more distinctive, what do you think?

LOL! j/k
apon further research... I kinda see what you mean by looking at games like crystal caves and duke nukem... so thanks for the input!

I think the character being such a silhouette-esque design makes him stand out, because he looks like a moving shadow in a detailed environment.

ROFL.
Well, yeah. I was probably the last one to give that advice. It's been said one learns from errors, maybe my error may be useful for others to learn too :P
I was more thinking at any colored scarf, unusual weapon or winged boots that might make him stand out a little more ... Take Zool, for instance. Initially, it's a very simple character made of simple shapes and a ninja-like attitude... Give him large ears and a weird thing on the eyes and he's becoming a videogame hero that sticks in mind.

Yes, exactly that kind. And Bio menace, Monster Bash, Commander Keen and the others ... i should have said "cyan", of course, aka #00xyxy (ceylan being the french word ... i always mix them).
