[PetSkull]

Both are 64 pixels high.
By using 1x1 pixels, I get more detail into my characters, but 2x2 gives that cute look.

The character is for a top-down (rpg-styled) 2D view and will be one of many NPC's in my game. His name is Glenn and is an unfortunate guy, living on the street in the early 1970's.

What do you think?

I like the left one better, personally.

[woodsmoke]

Me too, find the left one way better, more detail.
I'm never a fan of the cute sprites though.

I'm going for the single-pixels version. Means more graphics, but I think it will pay off in the end. Thanks for your comments

Left.
The right one has way too long arms, though the left one needs a neck and maybe the eyes a little higher up?

[zizulot]

Left!!! Right is not so good looking, and personally I see more charm in left one

Left it is Been working on the animation templates for walking slow and fast, and it's coming along nicely.

The bad thing about the right one is the fact that you just upscaled a smaller sprite.
You could have exactly the same design with a real 64 pixel tall sprite which would look much better.

The left one looks more like a platformer character.
And the right one has proportions closer to a top-down character but looks jaggy.

Here is a small example showing classic top-down character proportions:

Great example, thanks This one is saved
