Main Character

This is Stanley, the main character from a game I am working on.Ã,Â I used several resources to create him.Ã,Â Is this too corny-looking?Ã,Â What do you think?

DonB · Sat 14/01/2006 11:15:08

Very original drawing style,

I like it a lot, but one thing bothers me..

his head looks like he's some rough indiana jones guys
his body looks like hes gay (no offense)

Maybe take away the rough "beard", it would make him a lot more boyish.. just like the body..

JRock · Sat 14/01/2006 11:27:35

Keep in mind, the program I used had limited options for body structure and appearence.

(That does look better, don't it?)

ManicMatt · Sat 14/01/2006 11:30:54

Maybe he is gay!

Although I don't like his head (LOVE the textures on his clothes), can't quite place why.. maybe it's his big eyes or big head. Perhaps this is just my personal preference, lets see if anyone else likes his head.

EDIT: Oh you've just posted a new pic.

You mean... it's one of those clothe your own character things on the net?

JRock · Sat 14/01/2006 11:33:48

Yeah! But I modified it quite a bit. It just gave me a general idea. So now you know that its not my fault he looks gay. C'mon, I tried!

This isn't the actual controlled player. It's for cutscene purposes only.

I think its nice. As long as you don't have to animate him too much, it should be OK. However, it looks like his legs are a bit too long compared to the rest of his body.

JRock · Sat 14/01/2006 12:06:32

Shortened the legs (looks like a hobbit with a huge head)

vict0r · Sat 14/01/2006 12:21:34

Looks cool! Gay... but cool. Where did you find this again?

DonB · Sat 14/01/2006 12:48:28

He looks much better with this head..
if u really think the legs are too long, shorten em a bit.. but not as much as this.. he looks indeed like a hobbit now..

Helm · Sat 14/01/2006 13:14:25

don't use dolls for characters. You'll have to animate later and that sort of detailed texture on the legs is going to make it a real headache. Also personally I find this semi-manga semi-fashion boy thing going on in doll utilities to be annoying, but each to his own. Oh and your avatar freaks me out majorly.

seaduck · Sat 14/01/2006 13:25:24

Looks cool, the only major problem I can see is that the textures on the clothes ignore the body shape. For example, the stripes on his trousers are perfectly vertical. They should respect the shape of the legs and the folds.

Very nice, very original!

Actually, that's one of the things I liked about it. Reminds me of those cartoons where the pattern remains the same no matter where the guy is moving, like Stan's jacket.

I think the head size could use a little shinking horizontily wise. Other then that I think it's great. What did you say you made this with?

Evil · Sat 14/01/2006 14:45:08

Yes, the textures are nice. Maybe just stretch his upper body out some. I think it's a mixture of that and his arm position that make him look lanky. Yeah, and shrink the head some.

But this is all changes to a character you haven't made, so I say forget about it. Try redrawing it yourself, preferably with less colors, because, like Helm said, it'll be very hard to animate.

JRock · Sat 14/01/2006 17:03:11

How's this:

Looks like Anne Heche dressed as Indiana Jones!!!!
(oh, and, Helm? My avatar freaks you out?Ã,Â

You should see what I really look like!Ã,Â :o )

JRock · Sun 15/01/2006 01:41:46

OKAY!Ã,Â I scratched the whole "Gay Hobbit" thing and created a brand newÃ,Â character using MS Paint.
Meet the new Stanley:

note: this is just a rough edit, but what do you all think?
(my girlfriend said he looks like John Mayer $:-\$ )

MarVelo · Sun 15/01/2006 02:09:37

Very nice for MS-Poop. He looks very thin from the side, dont know if thats on purpose.

JRock · Sun 15/01/2006 02:46:57

Yeah.Ã,Â He's a skinny little bastard like meÃ,Â

(unless anyone believes that he might need a little gut stickin out?)
And I agree that MS Paint is pure s#%t, but it works and I am very skilled with all of its features (or lack thereof), but thanx for the comment!Ã,Â

MarVelo · Sun 15/01/2006 03:07:33

I am an expert MS-poop Background artist. Skillz in these vains. Its all about zooming in.

Akumayo · Sun 15/01/2006 03:12:33

The hidden x10 zoom helps me out alot with tiny areas.
