I'd say that the eyes should be larger with red pupils. I like the dithered teeth and the shades of green.

Also, what's the point of dithering and doing EGA-esque art if you're breaking the 16-color palette? I am, of course, referring to that hideous 3rd shade of green used for highlights.

Here's a direct EGA dithering. Notice how horrible it is:

And here's an edit, so only the highlight is dithered. Still pretty bad, but better that the above:

That's because all you did was slap the EGA pallette onto the image. If effort is put into it, EGA dithering can look much better.

Some more of my Secret Agent levels drawn back in 1993-1994. They're mixed with Commander Keen. I don't know which level is which.

Image
In this one there is a picture from which water drops are falling. On a sign is written "the mir or.." or something :). I'm not sure what it means.

As for the pick up items, in every level there are a walkies-talkie, camera and a 5.25 floppy disk for the computer to be hacked. There is also a K in a red circle which I don't know what it does. It may refer to Keen as a 1-up.

Image
This one features jumping boots with springs attached on them. A sign reads "richg maps"?

The briefcases in all of the levels are garg ton of money. Balloons also gives you plenty of points.

Image
I don't remember how was supposed to deal with the fire in front of the exit. I guess the player should use the bottle on the table to put out the fire. A signs: "sastem"? and "hey boy look"? :) The last one should refer to the spy glasses next to it. An invisible tile will appear above the fire, so player will safely land after it get the glasses. Gee, I've been thinking about these things back then :lol.

I wish I can make some levels for Secret Agent.

I think it's funny most of us have drawn CK-like-levels in their childhood. Mine propably ended up in the recycle bin :(
