A Character, some tiles, and pixels.

[xerus]

Hello Pixelation!   

This is my first post, I've been a long time lurker though, and I'm always impressed at the talented artists here.  I hail from the TIGSource forums mostly, and I enjoy makin' games.

Obviously the reason I'm here is to attempt to really get down to it and improve my pixeling abilities (or develop some to begin with.)  Heres a character, and a ground tile to go with him, and I always seem to have a hell of a time getting the style of both the tiles and the character to click.  Any suggestions that can be thrown my way are appreciated.



(Also, I hate Firefox 3's auto resample bilinear thing going on.)

he looks like hes putting his face away from sth he dislikes.. maybe if u move the head one px to the right..
the rest looks nice
maybe you should check the tshirt and its shadows

Yes, that is something that I thought about.  Though, putting his head 1 pixel to the right looks a little odd.  Maybe because I've been working on it for so long.


Could you elaborate more on check the shirt?  The original version looks like this:

Hm, I'm not really liking the side tiles for some reason... :I
