Title: LITTLE JONNY EVIL, Deciding phase.... CHECK IT OUT!
Post by: KANDYMAN-IAC on Fri 16/04/2004 02:26:35
Ok i now have 8 different LJE designs. shown here...

I would like as much input on as many of them as you can give. I will then take the resultant information and create a final design i can work from... the i can base the other character styles off of "little jonny"....

(this feels weird, feels like i'm making a fan game of my own game)

So please comment on any of them, all of them, or even just one of them... the more input the better... and we'll see what i can come up with for the final result :D

I like #6 and #8, but the hair from #5.  These are really good, I'm going to have nightmares.

MY opinion of each:

1: don't look so evil
2: looks gay
3: weird, not evil (like a mutated bug-child)
4: bug-MAN's head on bug child's body
5: good but not quite there yet, could go with this one
6: "Oh no, my eyes are taking over my head!"
7: Ahhh.... oh, um I meant AAAHHHHH!!!!!!  (that means I like this one best)
8: looks like an over fed version of 7, younger, maybe?


Personally I think 7 looks very good, very professional, very clean.  I would not expect to see any of the others in a professional product.  YMMV

I gotta go with 8 as well, but with 7's colouring, eyes and hair. The more detailed shading is what makes 7 creepy, I think, but the cartoony style in 8 makes for a better contrast between the cute and the sinister.

So...yeah. Nice work!

#6 or #8 look more like scary kids.

He just HAS to have a lot of hair, as in #3 or #5. The shading and colors of #7 are the best ones, most professional, creepiest, scariest. He just looks a bit too old in that #7, though. Maybe you could enlarge his head to make him look younger. Overall, you're going to the right direction, I can't wait to see the complete game

number 8, IMO opinion the hair of 5 is a little too 'cloud'.
Title: Re:LITTLE JONNY EVIL, Deciding phase.... CHECK IT OUT!
Post by: YOke on Fri 16/04/2004 11:24:25
nr 8's body, nr 5's face and nr8's hair.
nr 8's face is a bit too round and childish for my taste. he looks =< 9.
he is more like...12-ish in my head. and by that time his face would have a bit more of a jaw, but still round cheeks.
The enormous hair of nr 5 makes him look too "special" if you know what i mean?

I like #8 most...though #7 has better coloring...but since it's still in concept phase...I'd say go for #8....though I feel the big red eyes are a bit overdone....apart from that...pretty good concept sketches!

As I said a few months back, I like the colors on the first four in the face (and eyes?).
Good for the eye. Then the body coloring on 7.

The shape of the face should be *bad*, the last four shapes are *nice* IMO.
The hair on 7 is cool.


Um.. Yes :P

I like #2

The "I am gay and evil" feel, is just what the game needs!

no seriously! #7 rocks my pants off!

Ok, this is a possible version of Jonny...

version 8 with number 7's hair.... it still needs to be shaded... but i think i like the effect.

keep commenting... I'm starting to do a version of number 7 now...

Perfect! This last one is the combination of the best elements.

#6 or #8

you have to make him seem like a kid, but demonic... like the dolls in the chucky films :)

Post by: Evil on Fri 16/04/2004 21:50:00
Yeah, I second the Chuckie thing. But the new verson looks good. Maybe raise the ears a bit? Over all it looks better.

I liked six.
But the version you've chosen does look best.

With the cleanup you de-emphasized the "bigness" of his head, I much like it.

"The arts is strong with this one, yes..."

Post by: Peter Thomas on Sat 17/04/2004 02:44:27
The last version you did is FANTASTIC! I actually like him not having pupils. It makes him look sorta 'undead'.

Though I still think he needs bigger hair... (I think it was #5 with big hair?)
Title: Re:LITTLE JONNY EVIL, Deciding phase.... CHECK IT OUT!
Post by: KANDYMAN-IAC on Sat 17/04/2004 16:13:01

I think the most recent one is definitely the best so far.  My only suggestions are to perhaps reduce the size of the eyes (and possibly the head) a bit, and make the next slightly wider.  What you have is great though.  I've got to say, I'm really glad you didn't go with the goofy anime-hair.

Post by: Iron Pirate on Sun 18/04/2004 05:10:29
*agrees with remixor on the hair*

Looks A-OK to me. I wouldn't change a thing, personally.
Title: Re:LITTLE JONNY EVIL, Deciding phase.... CHECK IT OUT!
Post by: Peter Thomas on Sun 18/04/2004 07:49:45
Okay - opinion changed.

with this new shaded version, I can't find fault.

I think the googly-eyes and flimsy neck are all very stylistic and almost 'cute', which is in complete juxtaposition to the knife he holds (I think this is a good thing, in case you were confused). I agree that anime hair on this dude might look a little...unusual...

Am I the only one that think that his neck is to thin? The #7 neck is better.
