New Game Characters

[ScottDoom]

I don't have a game planned yet. I'm just practicing things while I wait for art from my other game to be made.

But I might use these in a small game later on.




Errr... I'm not happy with the girl's side view, and the guy's head on the side view makes him look older than he's supposed to be.

I just did some small paint over with your characters (hope you don't mind):


I only changed teh sprites slightly, just based on what you feel unsatisfactory, I don't modify other things as I think they can well be your style and doing what you really want (for example, IMO the girl's trousers' belt position seem to be too low but I didn't do anything to it.

Things I had changed are (none of the front views was altered):
1. I changed slightly the hair of the man in side view
2. I think the man's ear was shifted too much to his back, so I move it a bit to the front in teh side view.
3. I reduced the amount of moustache in the man's side view, hopefully makes him look younger.
4. The body of the girl in teh side view was too, err... flat, so I modifyed it a bit (I modify the breast, too).
5. I added a palm to the girl in the side view.

character design is always a matter of personal style, but imo there is still place for improvement. very few human beings stand so straight! while the proportions and detail are good, the side view (especially the female's) looks unnatural- the spine bends a little, the legs aren't just one straight line. either exaggerate the "stiff position" even more (so that they really stand to attention) or give them a more natural position.

here's a small example from my own game...

the style, of course, is different...

anyway, i could think of about ten little stories that could feature your characters... the have a look that really makes it easy to imagine them in many different games!
