Watchman+Grim Reaper (Finished? Some chance!! ))

This is a new person, it supposed to be a member of the undead police forces night watch service, but this guy acts as a guide that leads new souls to the nearby harbour town.

Tell me what you think, this is the style I've chose for the characters.

i like it because i looks like he has no face...except for his mouth...and to make him look more undead maybe remove the arms and have him cross them. I love the eyes...they look so narrowing like everyones a suspect.

shade it a bit more, like you did to that place under the belt or whatever.
Clothes aren't that smooth

Cluey · Sun 29/08/2004 23:51:34

Thanks, I did it just a little, to keep it simple, and it looks ace, I also changed the background colour so he's easier to see:

EDIT: I change his robe a little..

Very nice. I dig how you have managed to convey his facial expression with basically just a dot and a line. It really gets through.

Albert Cuandero · Mon 30/08/2004 04:11:26

Creepy! Well done.

I don't know if he is flying or walking but anyway, maybe his cloak should not end like a tied up sack, but rather like a swaying curtain. Just a thought that came to my mind.

Cluey · Mon 30/08/2004 21:56:32

Quick edit.
1. Added more shading to the hood.
2. He is standing, so I fixed the "sack" thing, thanks Albert for pointing it out..

Very Loom'y. Good!
If you're able to keep the detail during animations, It would be really neat.

...but about improvements... I think he (she?) needs:

* a butt
* second eye
* more & wider shape around stomach area and under it
* a bit shorter feet
* more detail on hands (a thumb, at least)
* a bit more realistic wrinkles on his robe
...so overall, more shape

* It would be also cool to see at least a little bit of shoes from under the robe
I could also give few suggestions about the face but somehow it looks perfect as it is. With this style you have there.

Some good points there, but this guys a wraith (kinda like Raziel), so he aint go alotta meat on him, being dead.
Also I'm trying not to make him look to realistc as then he wouldn't look right when put next to the other characters, which are drawn at the same style.
Edit, I added a bit more to the hands:

And again with 2 eyes

mousemat · Tue 31/08/2004 11:44:25

Give him a sythe

Cluey · Tue 31/08/2004 12:52:28

I would if he was the Grim Reaper, but unfortuatly the Grim Reaper doesn't really like to lend people his scyth, not since the lawsuit incident..

Cluey · Tue 31/08/2004 13:53:58

New Grim Reaper Dude, its kind of a theme, the hooded idea, not everyone in the game is gonna look like this

If you think his Staff is too much, I did a less "holy crap" version:

Happy, critisize away!

ghostface · Tue 31/08/2004 14:16:26

holy crap :o

n3tgraph · Tue 31/08/2004 14:40:51

Very nice, but I don't like the look of the faces, where does the light come from???

I tried something but failed miserably, but just to point out my opinion, I'll post it anyhoo

Andail · Tue 31/08/2004 14:56:09

How about just making the eyes shine? Perhaps it's too much clichÃ©.

Also, that doesn't really look like a scythe...more like some sort of pick-axe

Scythe:

Pet Terry · Tue 31/08/2004 16:23:48

I think the first version of the scytche is very stylistic, the second one looks dull.

Very nice characters! Great style, I love it.

Cluey · Tue 31/08/2004 16:32:21

There, I've conformed to your scyth RULES!!

YOke · Tue 31/08/2004 16:44:28

I really like your characters, and the new scythe is great!
IMO the reaper might look even better if you make him a little darker and give him some thin, bony arms? Also the angle of his head/hood seems a bit wrong compared to the body. Looking at the hood, it seems like he's looking straight at me, but his face is slightly turned away.

He-Man · Tue 31/08/2004 18:02:50

Man, these characters are great!

I think you should keep the first on the Grim Reaper. He's way more evil!
I also agree with YOke on the arms. It would also look more naturel if he had the scyth in his hands instead of on his back!

N3tGraph: The light obviously comes from the Grim Reaper's evil eye!

Amazing work!

Cluey · Tue 31/08/2004 19:50:51

Ok, this is my latest attempt to satify your criticle needs $:-\$

Also, as a prep for a lil pixel project, and cos I like Pixel art, I drew this pretty picture! Its the first guy.
