Very interesting series. Haha I love the cuteness of it all, would agree about the thickness of the NES but all in all it's pretty good looking. Keep it up I would love to see more of the series.

Please don't assume I'm trying to substitute kindness with learning and understanding. I am not one of those people who get set in their ways and don't wish to learn anything, I greatly appreciate all tips, advice and C&C and take to heart rather then saying oh you guys don't know what you are talking about. I joined the boards to learn and progress in my pixel art, not to act like a know-it-all or anything near it I love the skills, and techniques you guys show in your art, and want to draw from that so I can too be that gifted in PA.

I think we all somewhat drew things from the text that wasn't there, and I would like to apologize if I came off in the wrong way, or disregarded something you said because that was not intended at all. I appreciate you all for taking the time out to even look at my art and have the knowledge to point out to me things that could be changes, or enhanced. I know we all have our own art style, so with the C&C it may be something we would implement into our own work, but we also have to remember that our imaginations and perspectives work differently and we may see something totally different than someone else does. While I may take inspiration from someone else work I in no way want to clone it, I simply want to make it my own style.

Once again I apologize if anything I said came out the wrong way than intended, I am a really humble guy but sometimes the way I type something may sound different in my head than it appears in text form. Thank you all again and I look forward to more tips, and C&C on my work.

Ron.

Thank you very much Tourist that is exactly what I was looking for. I was focusing on following the look of the other two rather then stopping and thinking how much "softer" a girl's face is than a boy's. Thanks for drawing that to my attention.

@EyeCraft,
I Think I may be explaining it wrong, and putting too much emphasis on LSL. I'm not looking to make a clone of the character or even really clone the art style. What I was aiming for is the "cartoony" style of LSL, and the colors, however I suppose the style would be more reminiscent of Hey Arnold!http://cdn1.ioffer.com/img/item/372/476/51/o_Hey_Arnold_1.bmp.jpg rather than LSL, but the idea came to me while playing LSL. I don't deny that lighting and shading would add more depth to the piece, and I fully understand what bengoshia is saying and very grateful for the tip, however the edit they did isn't the same vision I have in my head. This is still a WIP so yes it may not be fully based on anatomy, lighting, etc... at this point, I'm just trying to put together the characters before I finish them up. Thank you for your post, and advice I am truly grateful.

So since my last share of the Retro Room I've been working on a few different art projects, my latest is a collection of Wee People. The idea came from playing some of the older Leisure Suit Larry games (as far as design), and from a few people I met when I was a child.

V1--->----V2---->

Passion Update ---V2--->

First two would be Lil' Bobby, and White Mike. A little story behind the two would be Lil' Bobby was a kid I went to school with who always wore purple, and White Mike was a little boy who grew up in a predominately black neighborhood and one of my best childhood friends.

As far as looks as you can see isn't purely based on the people but rather personality along with the theme of the set. C&C Welcome so I can improve, but I'm mostly just sharing one of my projects. Also any tips on doing the lower half would be greatly appreciated since I'm not too good with legs, and feet positioning, and perspective.

Edit: Added the third character Passion, C&C would be nice on how to make her a bit more feminine looking. Thanks in advance.

2nd Edit: So I worked on Passion more since there where a lot more changes needing to be made than the other two. Worked a bit more on lighting, however there is still more of the design needing reworking. Thank you to all who have offered advice, and tips on making the characters look better.

2nd Edit Pt. 2: Ok I really wasn't happy with the second update of Passion, it just didn't turn out how I wanted it to so I decided to rework it a bit. I went more towards the original shape with a bit less cheeks then the first, but not as narrow as the second. Also did a bit more work on blending the colors on the face and less dramatic shading. Hope this one looks a bit better, really trying to apply some of the advice given but still keeping it my own work.

@ CrazyMLC - Ah I see exactly what you mean, I meant to go back and take off some of the outlines to add the lighting effect like with the cabinet but got distracted and totally forgot thank you for pointing that out to me, I'll make sure to fix that with the next edit.

I really wasn't sure how to do the lamp so I went with what I thought it would look like. What do you think I should do to fix it so that it is the right shape, and fits with the rest of the room?

Do you have any other tips for me to improve on this? I'm not asking for you to fix it for me but more for advice, and some tips since I'm pretty new at isometric pixel art.
