Mummy Character C&C

Penguinx · Mon 19/04/2004 02:55:19

I've drawn a new mummy character. First things first, his lower jaw is supposed to be missing. Other than that, have at. Be harsh, be mean, be cruel, I like a challenge!

Woah! that rocks man. Only nitpckers would find like a teensy weensy missing pixel or sumfin. Cool!

That's really cool!

The only thing that stuck out to me was the skull looks more like a mask than a skull wrapped up. Maybe have a strand of the cloth over his 'forehead' area?

The shading/details are great!

I mistook, at first, the piece of cloth hanging down by the elbow for his thumb. I thought the hand was too big. But now that I see what it is, it's spot on.

More more more more!!

Cool, nice shading!
I think the right arm is a tad too short.
And the left leg needs straightening out IMO, too bowlegged.

Good job! Can't wait to see it moving.

you art is good, but it looks more like a strapped skeletton than a mummie

to my mind mummie arent that slim !

But, that's a point a view

It's teh cool! Maybe he wasn't not a Pharaoh, that's why its body is not in that good state of conservation and he seems a skeleton more than a mummy?

I think this is going to be haaaard to animate! You seem a professional, sure you are get used to be more hours in front of a monitor than we are, but this is going to be difficult... If you reply "I'll be able to animate all the characters with such a high detail level" I'll be happy (

) But the experiece tells me that you should go for something more simple at the beginning $:-\$ .

awesome work!

but I have to agree a little with leshaussebons.
it doesn't really look like a human that got "mummyfied" right after his/her death. mummies don't rot fast. so it couldn't possibly just have the skeleton remaining. maybe some skin, hair etc.

other than that, awesome

About animating this piece: It isn't so much difficult as it is time consuming. I've got a pretty decent method together where I draw flat-shaded versions of all the frames and then add all the details at once. It kinda keeps me on track and simplifies things a bit.

I did want this mummy to be a bit sparse. I've got some mummies that are heavier, and some a little fleshier. This one, specifically, was meant to be discernable by his skeleton-like self.

Maybe I should ditch the skull and give him a head with tightly draped flesh and rot?

Penguinx,

YOU SUCK, YOUR SPRITE SUCKS, and EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS THREAD SUCKS!

Ah, I can't be harsh and mean. It's a really great looking sprite. Well, now time to animate the sucker, eh? That's the tricky part!

I'll animate it when I'm good and ready!

Seriously, I am going to fix his right arm, raise his knees a bit further up on the legs, and try a fleshier face first.

I am going to animate it, though. Walk, attack, and death are in order.

Yeah, maybe some rotting flesh on the face would be cool. Depends on where you wanna go; he looks cartoonish now, which is cool. More rotting flesh could give it a more "real" look. Can't wait to see results.

Fantastic as always!

Contrast. Thats the only thing I see. You need more contrast. Other then that its amazing.

DanClarke · Fri 23/04/2004 17:24:31

looks really cool, but i think the legs from the knees down need altering a bit as they seem a little too short and im not sure if the feet are 100% apart from that its great.

Rave · Tue 27/04/2004 17:34:52

Its not really that the lower legs are too short, its just that the upper legs are too long. Just raise the knees and it will work fine. Also, I agree about the left leg, I was actually thinking the word "bowlegged" too.

Anyway, good luck.
