I really prefer to low-fi pixelversion of your original sprite. But then again, that is my personal taste, since I love pixelart.
Are you planning to use this clash of resolutions in more areas than just the character portraits? If not I would fear that the portraits are just gonna stick out as something alien.

So IMHO i'd go with a low-fi pixelart look also for the portraits. It would result in a more homogenic look and also be a little easier on the amount of work you need to do when generating all those portraits.
In addition, I really like the goofy look of your original sprite, which is completely lost in the new portrait. It looks way too serious for a comedic game imho.

I would still try to aim for same resolution, you can have non-pixelart portraits, but display them on x2 or x3 (whaterever you use for your sprites). Most games that mix those two try to at least stay at same resolution.

Also, I made a thread in Feedback for feedback on my ideas and to collect opinions on RPG features in general. Pop on over there if you want to share your views (or just post them here)!

Feedback thread, just to make it as easy as possible for anyone thinking of giving feedback.

Screenshots: - Personally, I'd quite like to see what you've got for the menus and battles but I'm hardly going to feel cheated if you'd rather hold off until you've got more polish on the rest of the game Wink

Beyond that I don't have much more to add right now, other than to say it's sounding fantastic and I'm looking forward to further details.

She doesn't match the other zombies, sadly.
At least not to me.

there isn't any where near as much difference in art style than there is in the sizes and proportions between the two characters. that there is the major problem.

also the poses are of completely different styles.by which i mean the new one's pose is perfectly straight and aligned to the 'grid' of the pixels, while the old one has a pose that isn't constrained in that way.

I understand that. What I need is opinions on both of them. I don't understand if you guys hate the new art completely and want something identical to the old art, or if you're simply stating that the two arts don't go with each other at all.
new is worse IMO

Okay more constructive: the new one is very flat and the pose is stiff while the older one's pose looks more alive and believable

Ardbob, is this project still going?

Don't let the opinions of others prevent you from continuing this.

The two characters you've shared are spot on in the same theme.  The old man zombie is frail and angry.  Beverly is standing straight because maybe she's worked on her posture since she is so concerned about her beauty. 

KEEP GOING.
