I would say 200%, because at 100 it doesn't read very well, and at 300, it's just a little too blocky, imo. No real other crits though. Nice palette on the helmet! :y:
The above post may not be helpful at all, as the author usually has no idea what he is talking about.

yeah, there's no way i'd use it at 100%.

most viewers will see it on a tv so blockyness issues don't count for as much as they usually would.

I love it, epecially the helm is great!  :y:

But im a little annoyed by the gray used on the body. I think you should change that to a different color.

Oh my. At first I thought it was an alien fish thing or something, until I saw its head turned but its 'body' not. Took my a couple looks to realize it was a man in a helmet. Also, I don't see any gray.
Hmm, as for readability... I dunno, you're taking the green from the helmet and using it on the body, and at such a small size it all gets mixed up, at least at 1x. But like you said, not 1x so at 2x it looks good.

I don't like the way the big red thing blows out in front. It sort of confuses in more ways than one. Where is the wind coming from in a confined space? Is it a scarf or hair?
Otherwise, very cool.

tis true. looks quite odd on the static mockup there.

its a cape. when i put the little guy together i liked the dramatic look of it blowing in the wind.

the wind in-game will be generated by his movevment. (i'm looking into it being procedural so left out it's full length on the run test)

i don't think in-game the cape will ever come infront of the little guy...
