This is my new detective-style character for a game project which is a spoof of Max Payne with hints of Starsky and Hutch. Sort of a comedy detective thing. I might even make a few references to Pleurghberg.
Well here he is: Clean shaven and bearded

So what are your thoughts edits whatever. Do you like the bearded or shaven version?
My boy-scout, good deed for the day:

I like the non-bearded version myself.
If you used that same head and put him in a work-out blazer and jeans (with cowboy boots) he'd be Nice Guy Eddie from Resevoir Dogs perfectly!

(don't know if you're still working on that or not!)
That's funny; it's a two for one. I prefer the non-bearded version with some less pointed sideburns.
Looks good. Im looking forward to your game too.
Thanks Penguinx
is it just Geocities or the jpg's or what that makes it so slow?
looks good Darth, I want to put the "Dogs" game aside for a bit. I realized that the story would be hard to do and i just downloaded AGS for the first time a few weeks ago so creating complex scripts and stuff doesn't seem like a good thing to do yet.
But I'll keep working on it, once I get a few games under my belt.
Ok here he is with some updated sideburns (less pointy)

and a walkcycle.

any comments suggestions edits? the walkcycle doesn't look quite right does anyone know how to make it smooth?
EDIT: the grey dots that appear on him aren't in the individual frames. Must be the gif file.
Looks pretty good. Seeing him walk makes me think he should have a mustache, not really the full beard like your first few posts. Just a mustache. I think that'll give him a Magnum PI look... He was cool :)

Hahaha. That's a really funny walk cycle. It has a lot of character to it though, in my opinion.
I think you should reduce the back and forth bob (and if there isn't one, it sure does look like there is). Only use a up and down bob.
Yeah, a Magnum PI mustache would do wonders for him, and what better way to have a reference to Starsky & Hutch then having a 70's style mustache...
But anyway, the bearded one looked like Riker from Star Trek, but with ordinary clothes...
ok I updated the walkcycle. and tried a moustache. here they are

suggestions?
Good ol' Starkers and Touch.
Is it just me or does http://invis.free.anonymizer.com/ take forever to respond?
timh_009: ya need mo' mo 8). Make it bigger.
strazer: Where is your avatar from.

I second that.

It's the main character from my game I hope to finish one day. Not much progress yet.
I saved over the files. He should have abigger mo in the pic above and now his hair bounces a bit when he walks.
Check out this site http://starskyandhutchmovie.warnerbros.com/ (http://starskyandhutchmovie.warnerbros.com/)
click on photo gallery and its the 2nd pic i think. It has Ben Stiller with a huge fake mo that looks hilarious. Thats the look I'm definetaly going for.
EDIT: AlecW did you make up the name Starkers and Touch? because that would be a great name for the game that I am making.
I made the 2nd character for the game. He is the main guys partner and you get to play both of them equally in the game.
(http://www.angelfire.com/ultra/umnp/ags/2ndCHAR.gif) thats him.
(http://www.angelfire.com/ultra/umnp/ags/PI.gif) and the original
(http://www.angelfire.com/ultra/umnp/ags/walkcyclemo.gif) and the walkcycle
I uploaded the pics to my angelfire site so I don't need to use the invis anonymizer thing. I was thinking of calling them Starkers and Touch what do you think?
also any comments/suggestions/edits on the new guy?
I got Starkers and touch from a magazine where they had a chick from coventry to advertise the game.
They said she reminded them more of starkers and touch. Ther is no ownership of the name so you can have it.
Very well done. I'll be looking forward to the game.

well here is the title pic. What do you think?
Should i move this to the games in production forum? I don't know since I actually haven't started the game yet
EDIT: well I read the games in production forum rules and I'm not ready for there yet. not at all. ;)
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D ;D
I thought you'd like it ;D
I had no idea what to call it so Starkers & Tutch it is. Look out for Starkers & Tutch in the Games in Production Forum within the next week or so. I have to draw up a few backgrounds.
Credit me pleeze!!!!!!
sure whatever you want....
on second thought not whatever you want but you can have the credit.
;D Now i'm special!
That walk animation rules a LOT. Good job all around, it looks like you've really got your style nailed down. Especially good job on that walk animation, though. It's not a standard walk animation, and it really conveys a lot about the character.
Personally, I would say "Touch" instead of "Hutch" if for no other reason than to not reference Starsky and Hutch so blatantly, but it's no big deal either way.
thanks remixor just imagine in your head "Staying Alive" by the BeeGees while watching the animation.
I like Tutch because Touch sorta seems weird like "Hi I'm John Touch". At least Tutch can be short for something like "Hi I'm John Mattutch, but my friends call me Tutch" or something along those lines.
The reason it is so blatantly copying is that it is intended as a parody. Don't expect this to be a serious game folks. I will have references to Max Payne Pleurghberg Magnum P.I Hawaii 5-0 Matlock whatever material I can get my hands on.
Ever seen Space Balls, it was weird yes but the blatant copying and exaggeration of everything was very funny. EXPECT TO LAUGH WHILE PLAYING THIS PEEPS. and just to annoy some people I'm gonna do this !!!111!!!!11!1!!!!!11! MWAHAHAAHAHAAHAH
thanks
