Hey guys, I have been working on some new art recently for a strange game named "Keiko's Adventures". From the pic below, you can tell I'm a big fan of Homestar Runner and I think the model looks pretty good! :D

Basically, I need ideas on how to improve it. 1 thing on my list is to double the thickness of the outline as he looks a bit sharp at the moment. Also, i'm looking for someone to do voice-overs and someone to do art/animating (if no one is here to animate, I guess i'll have to do it myself...
Anyway, hit me with all the c&c you've got! hehe.
Yo Raven, I really like the oddness of it...well I've never seen anything like it I mean. It's really good, but what is that yellow thing? It looks like a banana so I hope it is! heh. :) I can't animate for you, it's hard enough for me to animate my own characters. Voice overs could be a possibility, it would depend on where you're going with the game...but that could be fun! ^^
Moresco, goto http://www.homestarrunner.com to see my inspiration and twin! :P
I'm doing a few items at the moment, then some backgrounds. Animating is a problem but the fact that my character has no arms should make it a little easier. :P
If you could do voice-overs, that would be great! Although I guess i'll have to prove that it'd be worth it, don't I?
And the last thing Moresco, your artwork is looking great! Keep up the good work, love the backgrounds! :)
Hey thanks Keiko :) My backgrounds are frustrating. What I'd really like to do is take a scene in my head & draw it. I can't do that yet, everything is based off something else. Really think it'd be better if I could avoid having to do that...but i dunno.
Yes arms are good! Heh, and the link is cool, but I don't think I get it yet. Voice overs are no problem, but yah, sorta need to finish those arms first heh. ^^
My new name rocks! :P I'm probably gonna leave the arms off as it's part of the style.
Also, backgrounds aren't that bad for me because I tend to just do it on my artpad then clean it up...
Voice-overs rock :D The voice needs to sound pretty dumb and funny. I'm wanting him to say words wrong sometimes to add to the character.
I'm a real homestarrunner fan, and i added you to msn ravenfusion. Maybee we can talk some things over.
hmmmm...i've been trying to animate it but it's just too hard. I've read tutorials but none of them seem to really like....help lol. Oh well, i'll keep trying.
Keiko: I feel your pain about animations... I read the tutorials & just got confused. I animated one character, and it took forever! When I finally finished it wasn't that bad, but it wasn't that good either...
heh, today is a new day so i'm gonna try and do it again. Hopefully i'll get somewhere and it won't look weird. :P
Looks great =)
Keep up the good work!
Btw - Is this "free willy" ? :o
(His name is keiko) :P
lol I don't think it's free willy at least. :P
I did a few extra sketches at school (in my school book :P) and I think they look pretty cool so I might try and add them into the game. :)
Peeps...I need help. :(
What part do you need help with? I've got free time I'll totally help out. :) So what's up??? I still wanna do voices. ^^
hmmm...I need help with animation, design and voice overs.
Animation so far has been a nightmare.
The outline on my dude is pretty rough and I need help with shading and stuff.
Oh and voices...well, upload a sample or something. :)
^ I updated the image with 1 new costume for Keiko and a random sword :P
A sample of him saying what? What does he sound like? Is he brilliant, stupid, oafish, dorky, what? Give me a description and something he might say. What kind of emotions is he experiencing when he speaks? Any? Is he happy? Sad? Mad as hell? Confused(maybe he's always confused...) lol. ?? ^^ Cuz I gotta have some direction.
he's kinda stupid like I said somewhere at the top, I want a homestar runner type voice so you'll have to watch the cartoons to hear what I want. heh
I think i'll slowly move away from the HSR look once I have something properly planned. Until then, i'll be working on a GUI...
