Is this man looking bad?

[Edwin Xie]

Ehh, I have been working on a man that looked like this:



Anything wrong with him? Is he too on his body?

[BOYD1981]

it kinds looks as if he's laying down in a confined space...
make his shoulders a bit wider and try make it look as if his arms aren't as close to his body, also try do something about the shoes so it looks as if he's standing rather than on the very tip of his toes...
apart from that i think it's great, i like his facial features, but the small body doesn't really suit them much...

[Edwin Xie]

The thing is, I got two side views of him and hes skinny on the side view so when I pasted the two views together, he looks like that, but I changed his arms.

[auhsor]

The pictures broken.

Edit, oh well he's back again.

[Mr_Frisby]

He looks fun, but hunched . .and he hasn't got any joints to speak of - so i'm not sure how he will walk. If you lower the sholders and his . .the part where his legs meet, you will have a nice looking sprite . .maybe.

[Dart]

Well, here's my interpretation of your sprite:



As you can see, he looks a lot smaller... I don't know if that's your style or not, so sorry.Ã,  Well...

- I added a longer neck. Maybe too long, hmm.
- Lessened the shoulder's angle
- Chopped off a bit of the hair
- Made the mouth two pixels wide and the noise three pixels instead of one
- Tried to fix the pants
- Made the guy skinnier

Please keep in mind I made this sprite up in 5 minutes so please excuse the crappiness.

[Edwin Xie]

1 thing is, I want him to be a man, not a boy. Second thing is, his pants need to look more real, not cartooney. And third, he needs shoes which I think that all I did were crappy:

[Edwin Xie]

So, I modified Dart's sprite and he looks like this:



These are the new features:

- Made him taller
- Got him to look more older
- Changed his mouth and nose to make him look more symmetrical
- Added socks
- Changed his pants


The thing is, I need some ideas for shoes on him and it has to be congruent to his socks.

Edit: Finally I got the picture to work.

[Edwin Xie]

I need some up and down walking views for him.

[Moox]

feet dont do that, for shoes you want semi circles

[Edwin Xie]

So what? I look at this Platypus here and copy his feet to make it?

[Moox]

his pants need to look more real, not cartooney

If you want realistic you need realistic feet.

[Edwin Xie]

Lets just say I don't like the pant style. Ok? I don't want arguments. The thing is the Y part.

[Edwin Xie]

So, I worked on a guy in Graphics Gale and I made: (sorry, I didn't have time to save this on another format)

And then his "knocked unconcious view":
www.2dadventure.com/ags/character_progressside.bmp

(um, I think that was supposed to be sideways)

[Daz]

on both views he has short arms and on the side view he looks like he is wearing a tupey and there is no shading on either of them

[Edwin Xie]

bah, forget the shading. What about his shoes?

[Edwin Xie]

Man, this is going to take a long time to get a reply.

[Edwin Xie]

Tap, tap,  tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap.

[Raggit]

In the view in which he is facing the player, I might make his neck a little bit wider.  And, as you already know, shoes will make him look much better.  Shoes aren't hard to draw, just start simple and draw two squares at his feet and round them off at the end.

[Edwin Xie]

Alright.....
