He looks a bit f(l)at and his hands are toooo short.

I can sure see a style here, the flatness is the only issue. Add some shading.

Looks pretty good, the only thing i would change is maybe make is arms a little longer.  I don't think he's too flat.  He reminds me of the Earthbound characters.

Im not very skilled in the arts of shading so if anyone wouldnt mind making some quick paintover with shades it would be nice. Whats up with the "I'm with stupid" sign? I dont see where it says im not supposed to insert bmp's :-\

Whee, it's FatGyver!
Really, try to follow human shape and make him a bit taller.
He's way too fat right now.

I suggest using a reference picture, to get shapes ok.

OK. Here's an edit. Added a neck and lengthened his arms. And yeah, he does look fat. Add some more shading too.

I've tried to make his hands look more relax-ish but it keeps on looking silly as hell. :( :P

try lowering the shoulders... to make him more relaxed
Title: Re: Main character c&c
Post by: vict0r on Mon 26/09/2005 19:21:03
I made some pockets and stuff, and tried to lower his shoulders. :)

Nice pockets. Too bad he cant reach them.  ;D

His breast pocket doesn't look right... it looks more like a sagging lump of fat than a pocket on his shirt (not trying to be mean).  Mabye raise it up a little bit, and detail it a little bit more?

And you have to fix his shoulders.  He looks like a chubby toy soldier with his posture like that, especially with his hands in fists.

I really dont see how i can make the pocket more detailed. :P Please give me an example or something :P

I did some quick, harsh paintover to give guidance
Added:
*Details on the pockets, I think need no more, that's what Nipperdude suggested...
*The hands longer
*To show what I meant with the relaxed positioning of the shoulders...

note that the left pocket sucks! 8)

EDIT: note that the pockets all suck

I must say that the arms did look better but i cant say the same about the pockets :P
Title: Re: Main character c&c
Post by: vict0r on Mon 26/09/2005 20:09:04

I think the thin guy needs to ditch the stupid selfish smile... and I think Vict0r wanted the guy to be happy. So he needs no pressure on him. THink if you were fat and everybody told you you should be thinner or you don't look normal

but ah, you quite caught the meaning with the pockets, that's just what I tried to do...

If someone could just help me with some shading, i guess macgyver here is finished. :D The skinny guy looked... well... scaled down or something. But his eyes looked pretty good tho. :)

But, the thin one looks more like MacGuyver - assuming he's meant to, and the filename isn't just random. Not a lot like MacGuyver, but more than the wider one, and the shading look spretty good too. He also looks less like he has his pants on backwards (I think it's the pocket shape, and the shading around the zipper).
Title: Re: Main character c&c
Post by: vict0r on Mon 26/09/2005 20:44:15
Yeah, i guess he looks better. I made some changes to the hair and the eyes. You wouldnt mind if i used this? :P
