Phil's mading spriteness

[Alectric]

i have no idea who darren shan is, but i will comment on the sprite for your sake
he looks a little...i dunno...plastic. maybe coz his shirt isnt shaded with a slight gradient. his hair is alright, though it doesnt seem to be coming from anywhere, or going anywhere, i mean it doesnt have like source, or a direction, its just a blue thing on his head :P
the belt buck is too square shaped, and looks a bit like it was done in paint.
his pants, the crotch of the pants is too low

hope that helped
