Sir Mightyknight

KristjanMan · Mon 20/03/2006 09:43:28

This is my char for my new game

There is something wrong with him but I can't tell what. Will you help? Thanks already!

I would change almost nothing about him stylistically, with that name he's hilarious.

The only improvements I could suggest would be to make his face symmetrical in the front view. Also make sure that his eyes/nose are at the same heights in both the front and the side view.

I really like Sir Mightyknight.

KristjanMan · Mon 20/03/2006 10:27:35

should be fixed now

Anyone else having any thoughts?

Afflict · Mon 20/03/2006 11:46:52

Well its a question of style... What are you going for?

IMO His sideview head and faceing forward head is completely wrong when compared to each other.
In fact just cary the lines over from back front and side to get everything equal or uniform..

Is he roman cause I think only romans had that red thingy on top of there helmets (dunno have to research)
The cross on his chest suggests he isnt roman. IMO

He has nothing to slide his sword into eg: the sword thingy that attaches to belt...

dunno name of it sleeth or something

(research again)

front view shield is to straight angle it no man can walk like that.

Please increase image size like this so we can see better

Ok now I can see that the right leg is slimming at top which is wrong should be broadening.
that foot should also be overlapping the back one and be a little lower.
His arm looks like its coming out of his neck.

In the front view his legs arent the same width. aswell as the back.
His helmet as shown in side view should not look like that in front view.. Should be a dark line in the middle of it somewhere (red thingy) But your heights are inconsistant please remember to use the views to build the other views of off.

The sword and shield are not visible in back.. ?? And the sideview has boots none of the others have?

Double pixels = death to spriter!

Ok now some pose info
Angle his arms (front view) After you have mastered his front view move on and use front as reference for side / back view

Dont get me wrong its an awesome pic just needs a little work

Keep it up and you will be great at this soon!!

well how is this ( i only posted thhe front view to ask did i got it right)

it gotÃ,Â little messed up when i scaled it bigger

about that roman and cross thing he isn't roman he is just a knight, the shortest knight in the kingdon, just a knight thats all

KristjanMan · Mon 20/03/2006 13:13:52

btw i made him a viking shield

Now if you realy must know then i supouse he's a half - roman half - viking knight witha cross on his chest

Wow! Your art has really improved in the last 4 minutes.

Afflict · Mon 20/03/2006 13:44:15

The latest one looks alot beter!

Well the head is still lobsided with double pixels..

He still needs a seeth or whatever for his sword

Corey · Mon 20/03/2006 14:43:56

it looks a bit like he has a spot above his chin. Unless he suppose to have it , it looks weird

Saberteeth · Mon 20/03/2006 16:18:22

What bothers me the most is the skinnines of the character.

KristjanMan · Mon 20/03/2006 16:21:59

Another edit then

Tell me about the shield is it better or worse? And are the other things fixed now?

Corey · Mon 20/03/2006 17:34:46

the logo thingy is point out a bit too far.

Afflict · Mon 20/03/2006 18:05:02

Its getting better. I like it so far, please remember when doing the side to use the front for porportions.

The shield no no. make it rounder with a thinner pointy thing.

IOW The second line of gray i will narrow about two pixels. then the third 1 pixel (note both sides)
third line 1 again. play with it see how it goes

Try and angle shield over body might be too much work if you dont want to its fine will just look better

some good reference google is our friend

KristjanMan · Mon 20/03/2006 18:26:00

maybe something like this then...

And i checked google for pics of helmets knights had those red things on their helmets

Afflict · Mon 20/03/2006 19:02:44

ok no need to enlarge this much but yeah geting better 2x the size is good maybe 3x

Krysis · Mon 20/03/2006 19:17:06

I love the character concept. The style is nice, but I think it has too much basic shapes and strait lines. Here is a quick paintover to give some ideas.

Afflict · Mon 20/03/2006 19:20:17

The paint overs awesome !! Great stuff only problem is hes style is going to be inconsistant.

KristjanMan · Mon 20/03/2006 20:08:45

That paintover is indeed awesome but i'm not going to be able to animate something like that so i have to stick with basics i guess

Tuomas · Mon 20/03/2006 20:30:47

Uhm, what paintover? Anyway, clearly the knight Krysis drew is not your knight. In fact, I think I like your knight a bit more. Though the sword should point out a bit more to give him some masculanity. Also, what you could do is bring his hands a bit away from his torso, like the knight Krysis drew has.

KristjanMan · Tue 21/03/2006 07:40:25

I moved the armms from the torso

but I don't realy get what you mean whit the sword ( not english )
