Santa Claus' wife (shoes chosen, just need some perfection on character)

Mats Berglinn · Wed 30/11/2005 07:02:24

Mr. Colossal: Thank you. The thread was getting out of hand.

Domino: Ah, now there something I could use. The shoes are really Christmasy which really fits for the game's theme.

Farlander: That's why you all must know that's my name is Mats Berglinn, not Matts or whatever you have called me wrong. And also, I wouldn't consindering chaning the forum name, I like it the way it is.

Krylis: Thanks for the critics but I'm not in the mood for start from scratch because I need the game finished before Christmas and I still got lots to be done even if I had a good start with the process. I will work further on Mrs. Claus with help of your critics though. Again thanks for the critics.

Hahahahahahahahahahahhahahaha.....ahhhh

Seriously, I haven't laughed this hard since Dane Cook's Tourgasm. I think we should turn this into a weekly contest: Re-invent Mrs. Claus' Feet/Footwear. Or it could at least be a sprite jam. That would be such a great hit.

As for the sprites Mats (I put it in bold so everyone can see I spelled his name right, since this seems to be a very important thing to do) originally drew, I think he makes them flat on purpose. It looks much closer to DOTT style this way.

Since this seems like a lighthearted game to begin with, you should keep Helm's elephants-as-feet. That would make for an awesome in-game joke. Like they could obviously be there, but with no explanation and all the characters purposefully overlook them.

Stop worrying about the shoes and get the game done. Otherwise, you won't get it ready for the holiday season.

This thread was really spontaneous and that is what makes it great. It all developed so fast. You had to be at the time on the forums to be in it.
A true AGS classic.
Should be moved to Popular threads, or at least have some kind of credit so it isn't forgotten.

If you really want it, go ahead. I don't mind.

Hehehe.

Thanks for showing them, Big Bro, you're a sport!

Don't you think it's annoying that many say your name wrong even though I've been in the forums for three years? For the sprite-style I'm actually doing my own style rather than the DOTT style but I'm working on shading and other ways to make them less flat.

Sorry but that's not my kind of humor, the same goes with the rediculous paintovers and ProgZmax bizzare game idea. Why not do those ideas by yourself? This is not an angry saying but a tip to you guys.

Ildu: Don't worry, I have already choosen the shoes for Mrs. Claus. It's going to be Domino's shoes (the paintover, not his actual ones). But maybe not just use them directly but sort of tweek them out a bit (hope you don't mind Domino but if you do, just tell me. You will be in the credits none the less).

Nacho · Wed 30/11/2005 16:43:10

Mmmm. A person with a page devoted to funny games should be less easily annoyed... Come on... it's just a T.

Hey not a problem. Good luck with the game. I did rush them a little bit, but with a little more time, they will look pretty good.

Mats:
I think it's quite funny that you complain about people writing your name wrong, only to write "Krylis" in the paragraph underneath.

(When it should be obvious that Krysis = crisis.)

Its cool. People allways make that mistake couse L is so close to S on the keyboard. Hehe... Just being sarcastic. Peace.

Hahaha I laughed my arse off on the first page of this thread, magical!

Mats Berglinn · Wed 30/11/2005 21:18:08

Here's the newest edit. I know it's not many changes on the body but I'll fix that later because I'm try out different kinds of shading to make Santa and Mary less flat. I just show you to see if the shading looks right or at least get in the right direction. Oh and I also improved Domino's shoes and added some socks (even if Santa's castle is quite warm inside, it can be a little bit chilly without socks).

khrismuc: Oh, I didn't notice that until now, I thought it was krylis because I read too fast each time. But I bet that krysis does misspell by purpose... right, krysis?

Becky · Wed 30/11/2005 22:08:35

Mary's breasts look a little too pert for old-lady breasts. How they were before was fine.

You do realise that their feet are at 90 degree angles to their bodies?

Privateer Puddin' · Wed 30/11/2005 22:10:34

I feel this works better

ManicMatt · Wed 30/11/2005 22:13:16

Here we go again!

*Was going to draw a bust on santa but couldn't be bothered*

n3tgraph · Thu 01/12/2005 07:12:41

You might want to concider changing the 'face' on granny her chest.

The breasts and her big belly look kinda weird to me. I'm not in a position to do a paintover, but try removing the hard dark lines and try to make shapes with shading.

I would also change Santa's hair a bit. His head is almost a perfect triangle!

good luck!

About the feet, yes I'm aware that they don't look right but that's because it's hard for me to draw feet from the front without looking wrong or silly.

n3tgraph: Good suggestions. I'm not sure if you're aware of it or not but the face wasn't anything delibrate, it's just happened as I drew it in Paint. Now that you say it Santa does have almost a triangle shaped head.

mätzyboy · Thu 01/12/2005 11:03:38

You certain about the shoes? Otherwise I was going to suggest clogs, similar to this one:

The ones she has no reminds me more of socks...

ildu · Thu 01/12/2005 12:50:28

Santa is Finnish, not Dutch!

And take out the droopy and perky breasts. The buxom under the apron should make a slight line, and most likely wouldn't have such a shadow that is now present.

I don't Mats is really really annoyed. After all, he is an AGSer, and we AGSers do know how to take a joke.
WHAT DID YOU SAY? WHO DO YOU CALL CSAR?!!!!

Anyways, what's happening Matts Berglinn...
