Yeah, I can see what you mean. I probably won't mess with this sprite much more because I've spent a lot of time on it as it is, but I'll definitely take that into consideration when making new sprites.

I am making this for a game prototype I'm making in game maker, which is actually why I included the black border. I thought it would be easier to differentiate the player from the background when there is a border around them. I extended the arms a little but I felt that much more than this seemed strange. I think they can at least reach pockets now (if astronauts had pockets).



@smithy101 - I didn't know about that scaling tool, thanks :)

Thanks for the input! I hadn't intended for the skull to look down, but here's a new version where it does anyway. I tried to do some of that overlapping action as well to add some interest.
