Air Fortress Redux

I decided to go a totally different direction in the design of the character, and this is what I came up with.

He looks less Bond/Ninja and more Chibi Astronaut. I obviously don't hold a candle to this guy with my artistic ability, but I'm pretty happy with it. I did strive for a painterly look on this one. I like the look of the visor, but everything else just seems so flat. The color selections aren't that great. But, for what it's worth I like the character design.

Any thoughts? Critiques?

Air Fortress

Remember Air Fortress for the NES? That game rocked. Here's the Orange Space-Dude-Guy, drawn with lots of design liberties on my part. Just a quick sketch, playing with a different style.
