While playing with Seanalty's Solid Snake (a personal favorite) I, for whatever reason, made a connection between Snake and Gordon Freeman.
Snake uses a pistol, grenades, a smg, and a rocket launcher. What weapons did Freeman use?
Genome = Combine soldiers
They even wear 'similar' outfits.
There has since the release of Half Life 2 been much talk of a Gordon Freeman, and who would serve as a base.
So I decided to try a little sprite editting.
This is what I came up with:

It is clearly an editted standing sprite from Seanalty's Snake.
Any comments?
Just try to make a gordon freeman, not a snake edit of seanaltly sprite. Use your imagination, your brain, whatever, i donĀ“t know more to suggest you haha.

Cammy or Jill's stance in MVC2 might be good references. You also need some heavier contrast on the oranges and the darkest shade of orange should be more of a dark brown color. And because I can, I'm going to suggest adding in some light aliasing on his upper body. It looks like it has unfinished shading.

Regardless of the base, improve it, practice, get better and better and better. Simple as that. Making the sprite look better overall shouldn't be too much of a problem.http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd278/Onimaru_1/GordonFreeman4.pngThe balance of the sprite is off.

Blame Seanalty.
All of those issues(other than the orange one) pertain to the actual base sprite.
Nonetheless, I'll see what I can do.
Hmmm?
Why the hell would he stand like that?Well, the stance was just an example, also it's based on this..
Changing the stance would require me to use a different base sprite, which is probably not going to happen.
Besides, being a FPS, why would he have such a stiff/straight stance? He would usually have a gun pointed at something.
I did notice the hair, so I'll try to fix it.
Not really sure what to do to the glasses, not seeing the 'robin' mask, but I'll see what I can do.
Not much experience with beards, I'll try to fix it.
I can't darken the upper body, or the arms become invisible, so I guess I'll have to lighten the bottom.
Not sure what you mean by solid, but I'll try darker outlines on the armor.
Also he has orange on one of his arms.
Also he has orange on one of his arms.
If you could elaborate...
horrendous. Seanalty's chars appearance are disney for me: Epic fail. Never liked even his idea of snake, seemed very gay for me.
