Character for game, C&C please Now with walkcycle

[Cameron] · Mon 28/06/2004 05:20:50

Basically the idea for the game is that during the introduction you die. You were a cop and on your wedding day and your wife is shot.You chased the attacker only to be blown away by a shotgun. You wake up in the graveyard and your first task is to find a hat and jacket to cover your wounds. Find who killed you and why. Blah Blah Blah justice and revenge. I drew this guy based on Eric template. PM me if you want to help on game. I'll stop talking and show you the picture now.

Reminds me of Michael Gower...

Sounds great, i like the idea! And the character's really funny!
I'd be glad to help with coding if you need it.

Story sounds like a homage to The Crow, which I like. Should be interesting. Are you going to create any mythology as to why or how your character wakes up for his bout at revenge?

DeathWing · Mon 28/06/2004 14:53:58

Double post. Sorry.

Good Point DeathWing.
Good Point DeathWing.

I think the character is ace - really good. It's well drawn and has style - you know in a limb-missing, decapataion way.

Story also sounds cool - fundamenatly unoriginal, yet you've made it exciting somehow.
How will the character look once he has clothes?

switcharoo · Mon 28/06/2004 17:21:43

One little thing that's wrong with him. His wounds are different sizes at the front and back so really you should be able to see some of his insides from the front view (at the top of the wound) instead of seeing right the way through.

If you understood that fully you deserve a pint, if not I'll post a paint over when I get back from work (already 15 minutes late :

)

Haddas · Mon 28/06/2004 17:40:27

I don't think that he looks like he's been in the ground at all. Iassume that he's been in the ground for over a month by the looks of it. I suggest changing the story to that he wakes up somewhere else than the graveyard, because you are not normally buried in casual clothes.

what I did:
- Made the skin paler
- Made him dirtier
- Gave him more zombieish eyes

LordHart · Mon 28/06/2004 17:47:21

And also... if he was shot... then why the hell is he missing all that skin? And why are his organs missing?

Tiki · Mon 28/06/2004 17:48:38

I couldn't resist a quick paintover. I may've gone a bit overboard and some changes may not be what you had in mind. Animating may be a bit..ouch. I didn't think of that. Oh, and that side view KILLED. Very hard. Anyways...tada!

Paintover:

43 colors I believe

The Original:

39 colors, right?

Lets see here...
- changed the sweater's color, added more detail.
- Changed front view skull
- Changed hair-do
- Covered stomach with more sweater bits
- Redid back view head
- The side view head..well. I did a lot there.
- fixed backview's butt
- tried to follow dg's advice, but did a half-ass job

Erm.. I think that's it.

Edit: Good job Haddas

blown away by a shotgun.

LordHart · Mon 28/06/2004 19:43:22

Still, a shotgun wouldn't just blow away the skin... and it wouldn't be so kind to stop and gently remove the organs without harming the ribcage,,,

Haddas · Mon 28/06/2004 19:56:15

yes... maybe, but he has been in the dirt for god knows how long, and maggots have surely stripped him, at least partially, around the wounds, after a month, or for how long he has been in the dirt-

Tiki · Mon 28/06/2004 20:38:29

When I read PreparaciÃ³n De Ensalada's story, I assumed that this all happened within a week or so. One day living, within a few days buried, bata bing, bata boom: Zombie.

switcharoo · Mon 28/06/2004 20:52:44

Tiki pretty much did what I would've done so I won't bother with a paint over.

Erm, something needs to be done about the whole "shotgun removing organs" deal, but I wouldn't be sure how to go about getting it to look right... There's plenty round here who would though I'm sure.

Haddas · Mon 28/06/2004 21:04:33

I like modifying this character...
original, paintover 1 and 2

I tried making him even more zombiesish and rotten in the second paintover. he seemed to clean for a dead, buried, shot person

Quote from: PreparaciÃ³n De Ensalada on Mon 28/06/2004 05:20:50You were a cop and on your wedding day...

Hmm...Wedding-day...blue sweater...green throusers??? - Now this could just be me, but if he was the groom, then I would advise him to wear something a little more traditional (And if these were the cloths he was buried in, then I would advise the undertaker to put him some cloths on that are just a little - well - less damaged).

Anyway, I think you got my point: not really the kind of cloths one would wear on ones wedding day. So personally I would go for a different colourset (black of maybe darkblue) and a tie...most definatelly a tie. -- That is...as long as you want to keep that part of the story (wich I guess you do).

Haddas, excellent paintover but...lets see YOU animate every single frame like that.

MoodyBlues · Tue 29/06/2004 04:46:07

Cool character design!Ã,Â This guy gives me the jibblies.

As other people have pointed out, this guy wouldn't look this way if he was given a proper funeral and buried in the graveyard.Ã,Â Even if it was a closed casket funeral, he'd be wearing a suit, and the mortician would have at least tried to patch him up.

If you want to keep the sprite as is (and I wouldn't blame you if you did), you could tweak the story a bit.Ã,Â Perhaps his murderer killed him before his wedding and buried him in a deserted location, like a forest.

[Cameron] · Tue 29/06/2004 05:39:01

I geuss i'll tweak the story a bit. I thought that if he had a suit he might look to much like gower. The neatly removed organs bit, Im not tat godd a drawing but it try, I will attempt cracking some ribs and adding some organs. Yes unoriginal story, The Crow 1,2 and 3 are fav's and its my first game.
