Which Fatman is better?

Ionias · Wed 16/05/2007 16:38:30

I'm about to start on Fatman's walking animations and I can't decide between these two incarnations of him.

I like the one on the left because he's so fat, but the one on the right has that superhero quality about him. Help me decide which one to use in the game. Which Fatman do you like better and why? Oh, and if you have any C&C on either of the two it would be much appreciated.

I would prefer the 'Fatman' on the left. As he adds a comical appearence, which some people can relate to

Well the left one delivers what it says...FATMAN hehe...the right one doesn't look so fat

Ubel · Wed 16/05/2007 16:53:39

Definitely the left one. They both look awesome though.

Peder 🚀 · Wed 16/05/2007 16:54:22

Left one!!!

but yeah, both look awesome!

Dave Gilbert · Wed 16/05/2007 17:01:01

Left one. Definitely. The one on the right is too buff.

Nikolas · Wed 16/05/2007 17:02:43

Left one for me as well!

Just that his hands are kinda tiny, compaired to his body. Reminds me of a chicken or something. Which is funny -> Well done then!

Left one defo. Can't wait so see this guy's fat jiggle

Scummbuddy · Wed 16/05/2007 17:12:18

I was about to say, what if the one on the right had more of a gut, but then I wouldn't think anyone mildly fat would go about calling himself "Fatman", so I suppose I will go with the left version as well.

Well done style!

I would also say the one to the left. His shoes are also cooler...
There's something about their lower face that I'm not digging. It's like the jaw is too big and square. I like the old Fatman face better...
Otherwise very cool sprite!

Left, he imposes the right image for a comical superhero called 'Fatman'; the right one could be his side-kick! >w< (but then, I never played fatman before, so I don't know if he already has a sidekick)

Helm · Wed 16/05/2007 17:33:56

Left one definately. The game is called Fatman, not Batman-with-beer-belly.

Same as everyone here: left but...

With the arms of the one on the right (don't like the tiny arms on the left).

I did me some copy-pasting:

Just my personal preference. Otherwise great image(s).

I like this edit. But if it had to be out of the ones above, I'd say the left.

ManicMatt · Wed 16/05/2007 19:41:47

Left left left again!

Or howabout one that's inbetween? If memory serves me correct in the last game he was inbetween those two. Of course he could have just ate more donuts.

Wow, thanks for the great response everyone! So everyone loves the left one then I guess eh?

I thought the voting would be split down the middle. What does everyone think of Misj's edit with a sort of combination of images? Should I go with the chicken arms of the original or the superhero arms?

glaft · Wed 16/05/2007 19:57:14

superhero arms look better. i'm not extremely fond of that jawline too

Jon · Wed 16/05/2007 19:58:18

I prefer the chicken arms, as it would make his walkcycle really comical!

ManicMatt · Wed 16/05/2007 20:05:51

Longer arms look better imo, and also I reckon longer arms would be easier to animate? Imagine animating him reaching for an item on a shelf with those tiny arms!

Nikolas · Wed 16/05/2007 21:18:00

Chicken arms, mike.

Oh!

and when the game is complete, I do expect all of our names to be mentioned in the thanks section, right?
