Title: MY FIRST CHARACTER EVER. Gonna need lots of criticism.
Post by: Jide on Mon 01/02/2010 04:18:17
hi everyone,

this here is the main character from my first AGS game.
hes CERTAINLY not great so all advice is welcome.

hes meant to be a bit of a geek and an unlikely hero.
and i have so much to improve on so hopefully you guys/girls can help me there :D

Not bad at all!
I made some VERY quick edits, and I am by no means a pro but here's what I come up with.

You say he is geeky, but he had some REALLY broad shoulders and very big broad arms as well!
I tried to slim him up a bit and pronounced his facial features. IMO he still has a rather large torso.

Just my take on your character, though. Feel free to take it or ignore it. :P

alot thinner and the hair is a different shape, as well as the hair and jeans being slightly different in colour.
