Title: Take a look to this characer... I need to change the style
Post by: Nacho on Tue 29/04/2003 19:44:12

It is quite in a Day of the Tentacle style... I need it in a more classic style, could you help me? maybe more like Indy3 or Monkey Island.

Quite frankly I don't know how your game can bear to part with that great sprite.

Can't you just change every other graphic i the game to match the style of that?  :P

For Indy or monkey island style, you should change the character's proportions to more realistic ones.
But i´m with eggie, the sprite looks damn good!! i love it!!

Thats pretty darned fabulous! To change to the MI style I think all you need to do is resize the arms and hands to make them smaller.

Lots of cartoons use rather flexible character appearances. Disney cartoons (for example) use almost realistically drawn romantic leads (Snow White) but stretchy, bouncy cartoon comedy characters (Dwarves). They work just fine together (in a kind of sickeningly cute way).

Couldn't you just tweak it a little so that it didn't look terrifically different from other MI style characters? It's really nice, and it'd be a pity to change it.

Man, you would be crazy to change it! It looks fantastic... actually, i find it more interesting than MI2/Indy style of characters.

I agree that it looks great as it is.  Of course if it's really important to the style you should tone it down a bit, but honestly it seems it would be something of a shame to mess with what you've got there.
