Title: Reservoir Dogs characters
Post by: timh_009 on Mon 26/01/2004 04:27:59
I was planning on making a Reservoir Dogs game but due to copyright and such legal stuff I thought prehaps not. Well anyway i made the main 5 characters and i thought I might as well show some of them, maybe someone else would want to make the game.

Mr. Brown (Quentin Tarantino) (http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/mrbrown.bmp)
Mr. Pink (Steve Buscemi) (http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/mrpink.bmp)
Mr.Blonde (Michael Madsen) (http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/mrblonde.bmp)

so what do you think?
They are only 3.38 kb, tiny tiny images they arent big at all
please take a look

Try not to post .bmps ;)

Mr. Blonde:
Blonde's hair should be black.  The stance and shades fit the image perfectly, but the hair?

Mr. Pink:
Doesn't look like Steve Buscemi.  Hair should be darker and closer (greased) to his head.  He should also be much thinner (stringy).

Mr. Brown:
This one is pretty good.  The hair could be a little lighter, but it looks like Quentin to me.

The only ones I'm seeing are brown, pink, and blonde.  Did you do any of the others?

I think a game of these (Resevoir Dogs)  could be interesting but difficult.  How would it function?  What were your plans with it?

(http://invis.free.anonymizer.com/http://www.geocities.com/umnp/ags/mrwhite.jpg) Mr. White (Harvey Keitel)
(http://invis.free.anonymizer.com/http://www.geocities.com/umnp/ags/mrorange.jpg) Mr. Orange (Tim Roth)

I was planning on making the game where you get to play all 5 of the guys and do specific puzzles depending on their skills. e.g as we saw in the movie Mr. Brown was the getaway driver so he will have various driving puzzles.

What do you think?

They´re really cool, specially considering that you archieved to make resemblances between the sprites and the real actors, which seems very difficult with such a small sprites. Quentin, Harvey and Tim are specially well solluted.

P.S. When scalling up, use "change pixel size" it will look better.

Awesome!

As I said before Pink is the only one that doesn't look spot on!

Great job on the rest!

The only thing I would suggest (and this may be because of the resize) but there appears to be some pixel doubling (shoulders,legs,outlines,etc) which I would attempt to get rid of!

I say go for it with the game!  I'd be interested to see what you come up with.

thanks guys I think I will continue with the game now. I will make pink more thin because he sorta looks like an egg or something now. If you didn't know I redrew the pic of quentin from my avatar for the character.

they look kinda like characters from earthbound.  kewl.  tho i agree with the others, it might be pretty hard to get a good game out of it.   i assume there's going to be a 5 way mexican standoff in the game right?
