Can you criticize my new character?

[Micek]

This is hero for my new game:




What do you think?

Can you help me, how to improve him?

[anasazi]

It's hard to judge, without knowing who this guy is supposed to be.   I don't mind the style.  I kind of like the lumpy quality he has to him, but I generally prefer slightly smaller heads.  (And his face doesn't seem nearly as fat as his body - cheekbones usually show on skinny people.) 

That said - picky things:  His stance in the full-on view is weird and unbalanced.  His feet are also way tiny - unless you want them that way, they should be more in proportion.  One arm also appears to be longer than the other.  His shirt looks way tight across the torso - tight enough to see the collar bone (which probably wouldn't be visible on such a hefty guy), but the shirt is loose around the arms.  The shadow on the jeans on the side view is odd - the leg far away would usually be more shaded.  I don't like his lips; they look too thin, and too dark.

Drawing looks pretty good, but am I supposed to have the urge to punch him in the face?Ã,  I don't think I could play with this character, for fear of actually trying to punch him...and I have a decent monitor so that wouldn't be a good thing.

EDIT: perhaps you wanted me to criticize your drawing skills rather than your character?

He has no bottom, which is odd, considering he's a bit podgy. Would the collar bone be visible on someone of that size?
His legs in the front view are straight, and show no sign of having knees. Remember: all animals have knees, ever elephants, dispite what some drunk Irish guy thinks.

Well I think it looks prety good. The only thing that is bothering me are his lips. I don't know why but they look way to dark. Try not making red lips. Make them just plain skin color and shade them a bit. That should look nice. And BTW the front wiew looks like you are standing above the character (unlike the side wiew).

Agh! I hate him! 

Well, the guy, that is. You could use this character as really horrible and annoying sidekick for main character or something... Reminds me a stupid movie about a guy with nose like that... eck!

Okay, anyway...

* He could definetly use some stonger shading. Don't shade only near outlines, think of a real light & shadows
* Also, nose from front view doesn't quite match with side view
* So, he needs a
- diet
- comb
- plastic surgery
- and some wrinkles onto his clothes fo a bit of detail.

You need to calm down and give much better constructive criticism, or don't post in the critics lounge.

Saying he needs a diet... come on. Maybe this character is perfect for the role that the game intends.

I like the front view, but the side view does need some work. I would suggest not having the curve where the eyes are not be so extreme, plus the nose is a bit extreme. I also feel that his lips are a bit too feminine. His front view makes him look like his shoulders are up, like he has confidence, but his side view is lacking that same feel.

Eeer... I don't really understand... Are you saying that he is ugly? So... characters that have been correctly solluted do not deserve to exist because they're not handsome?Ã,  Ã, ???You should inquire Micek about what he is looking for before saying his char is too ugly, maybe he was just looking for that.

Fortunatelly Danny DeVito and many "ugly" supperb actors like him did not have the same ideas as you when he decided start acting...

[BorisZ]

He looks like drag queen before completely turning back to normal.

[Skiwi]

Hey there,

I think he's a mix of different people. His body looks like he's up for some heavy drinking but his face counters that. His expression on his face insinuates he's kinda dumb but yet his hairstyle is very newfashioned. Maybe you should pick a style. But then again maybe Scummbuddy is right and he's perfect for the game. You should tell more about your intentions...

Greetz,

Skiwi!
