Ron Gilbert's Head

[Scummbuddy]

I'm working on adapting Ron Gilbert into pixel and was wondering what people think so far. I was imagining finishing the body in a BigHead-LittleBody style.

I wonder if the front view is too circular or not.

Any ideas on how to improve this would be appreciated.







OMG, who's that next to Ron?!?! Sooo jealous.

I've never met the guy, but I think this looks more like the image.

A few things. The hair height is different, and the beard doesn't follow up on the left. I didn't do a great job on the lips, but the side view looks weird.

Hahahaha! Awesome!

His pixel face still somehow looks too thin & toned

I have just a few minor suggestions. I don't know what sort of limit you have on your palette, but I added an extra highlight skintone (featuring an admittedly lazy attempt at highlighting the right areas). I also browned up his hair, partially because those dark greys kind of washed him out, but mostly because his hair is dark brown.  I also gave the eyes a little bit more depth, and changed the shape of the nose and the lips in the sideview just a little. Just some ideas of where to go from where its at now without changing it very drastically!
