That looks great! Perfect for a humorous game.

YAY! Thanks. I will start drawing the other characters soon.  ;D

eg- Rodney's dad, Pet, Darren, and the 3 ninja's (2 are good, but one is a fat rubbish ninja).

Nice! But I don't like the angle the mouth is at, try making it a little more horizontal. Also, maybe you could redraw the hand in a more natural position, right now it looks like he's adjusting the knob on a stove or something.

Thanks. I'll do that. I have just finished adjusting the feet, as they were at the wrong angles.  :D

Nice character, very crisp and cartoonlike.  I'm looking forward to seeing the rest  :D

OK, Thanks! I have done this in a quick 5 minutes:

It doesn't look like much, but I have changed the feet. The hands will take me a while, as I am CRAP at drawing hands.

And, just for future reference, I created Rodney McNab AGES ago, and am hoping to make a cartoon episode for him after I have finished his game.  :)

Thanks!  :)

I've decided that each character in my new game will have a bio, so I can make the character behave accordingly to their histor, etc. Here is Rodney McNabs:

Rodney McNab

Age: 14
Likes: girls, guitars, and computers
Dislikes: Quiz shows, and school
History: He has been friends with Darren Baker, and Peter Morgan for 10 years. He was once in an advertisement on TV for "Babilon Bed Covers: Your baby won't choke". His mom (Mary McNab) died of cancer when Rod was only 5.

Looking pretty good Jimi! I especially like the torn look on the bottom of the jeans. That alwys happens when you wear jeans alot, and so it just gives that extra bit of realism to the characters.

Cool, nice style. I think you might want to make their eyes a little smaller and perhaps make their expressions less happy and more neutral, because they look a little deranged :)
Title: Re:Rodney McNab
Post by: Jimi on Mon 21/04/2003 18:08:15
FINALLY! Some crit! I'll do that.

The Morgan guy looks too much like Rodney, put a hat in his head or something. Cool anyways!

And the sleaves in his shirt could be longer, and there could be a picture in it.

I agree with reizka...

They look too much like eachother - ofcourse it IS a very easy way to make more characters but if you do every character like that you'd think they all have the same father - or mother (or both :o)

Anyways... this trick would work well if they're intend to be brothers

Oh, and he could have shorts on.

And some cool sunclases, like N3T has ;D

Spoiler
Well they aren't brothers, but I came up for a twist. At the end of the game, (when Rodney gets home), he finds out his mom died from cancer. If I make a second game for the series, I came up with a twist for it.. :) (I'm not going to ruin the surprise!)
