Old man bend over

Mats Berglinn · Wed 01/03/2006 17:42:02

This one is for Caribbean Mysteries. Just want you to know that I've haven't cancelled the game, it's just been put on hold for awhile because I had some problems with animations and some technical stuff with AGS but I'm still working on it.

This is a hypnotist who will at some point in the game pick up coins from the ground. I kind of like it as it is but it feels that it could improve. Just want to know that I don't want to have an entire animation of the guy bending down to get the coin but to have him bend over to grab it by just one frame, very much like they did in MI1, MI2, DOTT and Sam & Max.

Comments, critics and paintovers are welcome, so spill it out!

I don't see much wrong in the pic, except that you should leave the feet the way they are. I mean like in the first frame.

He means it turns him on seeing a man bending down, get it? Heh, even I get it...
And Toumas, keep those sexual intencions to yourself!

Oh, okay. If I only have known. How embarresing!Ã,Â

Changed the topic's name.

Anyway, here's a newer version with the feet in position. Not sure about the right leg though since I discovered it got too slim when I changed the position of the leg (because of the right foot).

Tuomas · Wed 01/03/2006 18:44:06

Yeah, I thought it was bending over

nothing wrong in bending down.
Anyway, I'm not familiar with caribbean mysteries, so it's hard for me to say how you should modify it, I suppose it fits the game and the other art well enough. But some constructive reference I can try to add here. It seems as the arms stretch as he bends down. Perhaps try and make him bend down a bit more and shorten the hands. The sleeves of his vest seem to be longer too.

Saberteeth · Wed 01/03/2006 19:07:56

And lower the 'butt' area(Toumas, I'm warning you, NO MORE PERVERT POSTS

). If you lower it, it's going to be easier to shorten the hands and 'bend' the back. Oh, and you should put the legs even more together.

his nose seems to get pointier when he bends down.

Haddas · Thu 02/03/2006 13:31:31

It's more natural that way

I dont know haddas I was binding down a couple of times and my nose didnt get any more pointy

Shouldnt his jacket be swinging free now? In a forward position since I am guessing its not completely stuck to his body?

Saberteeth · Sat 04/03/2006 08:12:54

here, my little paintover:

+jacket now points down
+lowered 'butt' area
+made the legs more together
+added a different shadow for the legs and shirt

Sorry for not made any posts for awhile but I've been quite busy. One of the reason is that I just become uncle.

Anyway, here's a newer version of the hypnotist bending over:

This is what I've done:

* Used the same head but hightened his neck and bended it slightly. I also made the nose less pointy.
* Shortened the man's arms.
* Bended the man's body more so he reaches more to the ground. I also changed the vest. I didn't use SBsLoVeNiA's vest because it didn't look right, as well as the shading of the shirt.
* I used SBsLoVeNiA's legs and butt though.

I think it looks better but I'm not sure if it's done or not. So, what do you guys say?

Saberteeth · Sun 05/03/2006 09:11:55

Congrats on becoming uncle.Ã,Â

About the image, you're right. The vest I drew acctually didn't look natural. Yours is way better. You could change the torso position. Currently it points to the player which is good, but it would be more natural if you moved where the torso is pointing. Here, look at this pic:

See where his torso is pointing? Now look at your image:

You see what I'm saying? Adjust that and I think it'll be perfect.

Mats Berglinn · Sun 05/03/2006 10:32:58

Is it better now? I moved his right arm a bit and his belt buckle and changed the west.

Saberteeth · Sun 05/03/2006 13:34:38

Nice, it's getting shape!

You could still straighten his back a little bit. In his current state he looks like he's gonna fall down any second.

How about this?

Saberteeth · Sun 05/03/2006 16:06:20

I'm not seeing any big changes.

OH, I see it now.

still more straightening you need, young padawan.

Back to the serious pic:
It looks good, but I think his left elbow is too high on his arm.
