A character for a DOTT fan game (Now with side and behind veiw)

[Mats Berglinn]

Yeah, I'm kinda work on a DOTT fangame at the side of Caribbean Mysteries because I love DOTT so much that it deserves a sequel (Stupid LucasArts that thinks adventure games are dead. I just say "Bah, phooey!").

Anyway, here's a sprite of a character I did on my own. This is Benny, Bernard's nephew and one of the five playable characters in the game. I made him a little bit similiar to Bernard because they are relatives.



Here's some facts about Benny: He is about seven years old and he really likes his uncle and his buddies Hoagie and Laverne. Like his uncle, Benny is very interested in physics and is smarter than other kids at his age. A bit of a geek like his uncle but he do have other intrests and own features.

So, what do you think?

It looks very good, but I'd love to see a larger version.

hmm, a DOTT fangame 

The char looks good, but his arms are a bit weird. The way he has them now makes him look like hes readying himself for an old texas showdown.

Also, i think its supposed to be a chest pocket but it makes his left arm (right from our point of view) too long.

Looking pretty good there, Mats. You should make the arms shorter, though. They are very big now. Looks like he could touch the ground without bending over.

I think it suits him, gives him that toony look imo.

[Phemar]

His body is weak, but the arms look buff.

[He-Man]

It looks ok to me. I wouldn't mind if he was a little taller.
I'd love to see a Dott sequel if you can pull it of!

[Mats Berglinn]

Ok, here's a modyfied version of Benny with a bigger version of him (figurtive):




I made him a bit taller and also widen his body so he doesn't look so weak (yeah I noticed the proportion difference when I compaired it with the Bernard sprite) and also made the whole breastpocket more vinsible.

I don't know about the hands, I was just tried to make the hands similiar to Bernards hands (his right hand actually since Bernard doesn't stand straight like Hoagie does). If someone knows a good way to repaint the hands go ahead and make a paintover.

Edit: Also here are side and behind veiws of him.

[aussie]

I think they're excellent. Only a couple of comments.

Side view:



I would bring his feet a couple of pixels back. To me, he looks a bit like he could fall backwards.

I've also changed his glasses a bit.

I don't think I've improved it much, though.


From behind:

His hair should probably be a bit longer.

BTW what are those bits coming off his ears?

[Mats Berglinn]

I sorta like that you have done to the side sprite but the reason I had the left eye of the glasses that way is because Bernard does have it so you can see both the eyes when he stands still (you only see one of them when he's walking left or right.
Also, why is there a black pixel on Benny's right shoe?
I don't like the way the legs of the shorts is kind of "glued" on. It looks like he really need to go the bathroom. Also I don't like the way his right leg is posed because it looks like he can't stand up straight (which he should). I like the hands, they're really an improvement.

BTW what are those bits coming off his ears?

If you mean the blackgrey stuff it's just to match some of Bernard's hair (if you look closly on Bernard his hair is not totally black but does have some blackgrey stuff there. Just to kinda match the uncle and the nephew to each other.

[Nightfable]

The sprites look really good, but there is just one thing I would like to point out. If you look at the frontview, his hat has a more rounder/flat look but on the sideview it's a little bit too tall and pointy in comparison.
