Pirate with no clothes.

Synthetique · Sat 16/08/2003 01:30:53

Hey all!
Here's the main character for my short/medum length game.
Yes he is nude.. He will change outfits and also wander around nude if necessary.

C&C is very welcome.

And if anyone feel like putting on some non-ordinary pirate clothes, i would be most grateful because i am kinda stuck here.

EDIT:
I've decided to let him go nude on all of you.

Also which one of these do you like the most?
The one to the right is 2 frames longer, making a smoother but slower movement..

Wha.... what happened to the alien?! he's cool.

The character is very Monty Python, I like it. He doesn't look very piratey though.

Synthetique · Sat 16/08/2003 02:17:25

The alien is a long time thing.. Need to relax from it.

Dmitri · Sat 16/08/2003 02:46:05

nice and smooth, although his ear changes size quite a bit in the animation

An eye patch would be nice, along with some AA.

It looks very good but very jagid...

thanks

well.. it's supposed to look sketchy..

I'm not one to advise about animation, but as he is a pirate, he might have a bit more of a swagger to his walk. We have lovely swaggers. Also, a pegleg might be cool. Or a hook hand.

As for the other animations, even though the right one has more frames, the left one seems smoother to me. Maybe it's just because it's faster. Both are awesome, though.

I dont want an ordinary pirate that you see everywhere.

Evil · Sat 16/08/2003 04:49:25

Well if I knew what it was for I might be able to pick between the two

Synthetique · Sat 16/08/2003 04:55:55

Ok what about this then? Is this ok?

Oh, and that spin move.. it's either a throw or a punch..

You animate so well, synth, it looks awesome.

It looks better nude IMO.

Captain Mostly · Sun 17/08/2003 08:07:58

why doesn't he have any genitals?

It looks nice, although one of the things that poopes me off in games is that people are ALWAYS drawing really in-your-face boobs, but a naked pirate doesn't even have an inoffencive cartoon willy. I guess that's not really helpful C&C, but as regards the animation choice, I'd say the one on the left was better

I like the nude one as it is... It looks funny, like from a cartoon... just give him a very big saber in the inv... and I like the firts animation better...

And the cartoony willy gives a world of possibilities for the animation... Big, soft, small, bouncing...

I enjoy the look of this character. The walking animation is awesome.

But what I notice about the spinning animation is that He steps with his left foot, but ends up spinning on his right foot. The spin should be on the same foot with which he steps.

Regardless, good job.

hahaha, i love this

reminds me of pink panther somehow...
the walking animation rules,

but wanderlady is right about the spin

great artw0rk

Synthetique · Mon 18/08/2003 22:01:24

thanx guys!

youre all right about the spin.. yepyep.
here's the talk view

Captain Mostly · Tue 19/08/2003 00:06:43

That's beautiful. Although I'd be careful using that style for all the characters in the game. What makes this pirate so marvelous is the fact that it's so unique. I think hat having a lot of characters with such minimalist facial features could prevent any one character becoming really memorable. It's just an idea, but I am often concerned by games that take radicle (and gorgeous) visual styles like this, but because of the stylised aproach to drawing people, characters become a little interchangable!

But that's me just looking for bad news to give. I didn't mind the foot-swap in the animation, it just makes it a little more cute (like the guy isn't really sure on his feet, and a but shuffly-stumbly even when making big sweeping motions like that spin).

The talking animation is crazy-cool!

n3tgraph · Tue 19/08/2003 08:46:48

i love this character

but the wobbling of the head seems a bit awkward, maybe the head should rotate a bit backwards when talking

i don't know

and maybe you should look at the double pixels sometimes, but it isn't bothersome at all...

I just like the way he walks

loominous · Tue 19/08/2003 09:01:50

I really like the wobbly lines n animation in general. One thing that I d make different would be the eyes.

At the moment they look too off in my opinion when they travel around the face reaching a complete frontview in one frame.

Although it s a cute effect, it makes him look a bit inanimate as though his eyes weren t really in use by him. Ofcourse this is just my opinion.
