I tried to make a few pixelated characters. It was really fun, haven't done something like this in ages. Maybe I'll make more in the future.

This was the first one i did. It was inspired by the song "Fred vom Jupiter" by Andreas Dorau. I just played around with Affinity Designer and this happened.

The second one was a real quick one, as you can imagine by his simple design. He reminds me of a tomato. The thing on its head was supposed to be a crown, but it does not really look like it, oh well.

The third character is a bit overloaded, but i still like it. He's a madman with knives and also looks like a mad scientist a bit. He went through a bunch of iterations, but i settled on the knife version. Not happy with the arm-shape though.

The last one for now is a little fitness dude sporting an Adidas tracksuit and stretching a rubberband. This one was really fun to do. The background should look somewhat like a dojo or gym or something like that.
