singring and the glass guitar!

Hi, long time no see.

its been a few years since i last did any sprite art, and ive gotten very rusty. but! im picking things up again. I've got plans for a short rpg/game inspired by the band utopia and their song singring and the glass guitar. ive been playing around with some art to decide how i want the art direction to go, and well, i'm very bad at rpg style sprites and profiles. so what better way to improve than to ask for some help?

i'm starting out with my main boy todd rundgren.

 


from left to right, bangs, no bangs, and glam hairstyle. i dont think the last two would be used because of the setting, but it doesnt hurt to show off. im not sure how detailed i should be getting with the heads in the sprites, considering these aren't anime characters who are best identified by hair color but rather the subtle differences in our faces that make up each and every one of our faces. also i dont know if i should be including lips on his overworld sprite....
