In an early, unreleased version of Full Throttle, Ben was accompanied on his journey by an obnoxious little girl holding a perpetually dripping ice cream cone. The character was cut from the final version of the game for reasons unknown.

On an only semi-related note... hey, guys. I used to lurk here quite a bit, but I haven't been to this site in a while. Anyway, I've been looking at past sprite jams, and even though this won't count for anything, the recent "gender bender" sprite jam inspired me to make this "Queen Graham":

Wow. I really like the edit, Mazoliin. You've managed to fix the problem with the arms, and I like the rounding off of the chin.

I'm not really sure what to do about the posture and expression. I didn't really have much of anything in mind when I first drew it. The only reason he's holding the sword and shield is because I drew the arms last and didn't really know what I wanted them to be doing. I probably would have drawn the arms down at his sides, but I didn't want to obscure the detail on his clothes.

Oh, yeah. I really like what you did with the shield. Here it is shaded like the rest of him:

I went back and cleaned up a lot of the double pixels and such around the edges. I tried to tweak the highlight colors on the face a bit. Most noticeably I redrew the stomach. I had a lot of trouble getting it to look right. I decided to give him some flabby man-breasts to add to the overall sense of fatness. I tried to give the arms more uniform thickness, but everything I did made it look worse, so I left them the way they were.

This isn't necessarily something for a game. I'm still experimenting and trying to develop some sort of style. But here's a cartoony nervous, awkward goblin/orc/thingy.



Feel free to offer any criticism or redraw if you like.
