*NEW*(TLOTLL) Tackle Shop owner

DanClarke · Sat 10/04/2004 02:00:16

First draft of the owner of the fishing shop in the game, i know that some detailling needs correcting in places and the red 'pisshead' nose isnt to everybodies taste

but i like it so it's staying lol. He has no legs because he'll spend the game behind a counter, so i found it pointless to draw them in.

I like it, but his arms dont give me the old man feel but that of a weak teen

Cool. Looks like the Woody Allen fisherman in Sam & Max.

I think i was subconciously going towards that look lol. Ah well it's meant to be lucasarts style so not to worry

EEK: i've just looked at the guy in SamnMax and found theyre a little too similar (even though i didnt use him for reference or anything) so changes are being made. :

UPDATE

Quick re-edit, but i dont think it looks quiate as 'interesting' anymore, any ideas and feedback welcome.

Keep the hat! It's sportsfishers who look too similar, not the two characters.

Looks wonderful. Maybe do something about the arms. (btw. what's that green stuff on his arm in drawing nr 2?)
Did I mention that the nose is too red?

Think this is a nice compromise. Lol YES you mentioned that, several times. The splodge is a tatoo, sorry if its not too clear, but it play a part to a puzzle in the game, so there'll be no confusion

I agree with the pudding. The right hand seems to be dislocated at the wrist and sagging off into the left... I'd move it a tad more to the right.

Sorry for editing your art. That's the second image I've bastardized. I think I have problem...

The rest looks top notch though. The face might need a little shading though, since the fisherman/shopkeeper is wearing a hat.

EDIT: Damn it. I should just set up a website. Can't get it to work... oh well. Anyway, the only things I changed were the right hand by moving it slightly to the right and the left hand by shading it a tad (since it's partially covered by the body).

EDIT 2: Well, I set up a site... sorta... well, not at all.

Lets try again...

I decided to try and shade the guy's face slightly, and I noticed that you can't really notice any of the changes I've made... :

anyway, I also added a small tint of blue to the glasses so they wouldn't be so white.

that image links to an image in a yahoo mail directory, might wanna try again, or just give us your yahoo password

thanks for the crits, little things like the shine on the glasses are things i didnt really notice, ill sort that hand out too, as i agree its not quite right.

Try to let his arms hang from his shoulders and open up his hand to give him a more weaker look.

good idea mate, as for opening the hands, he'll be behind a counter so im considering just having them flat on the surface.
