I see what you mean. But honestly, the first pic, do you call those "big" (now, please don't get uproared, gals and guys, it's just a personal opinion)? So the legs are weird? Well, let's see what I can do about it. If I don't do it tomorrow, maybe I will fix them when I come back from Spain(I go there tomorrow night). I'm trying to keep the lenght so it won't get shorter or taller than the front pic of Naomi. By the way, you didn't mentioned what was wrong with the arms. Were they to long or "wrong" placed or something?

Ok, so the looks are cartoony but the actions and events are more of realistic things than cartoon (maybe apart from the Voodoo-magic). You can't tell it but of course Naomi wears a bra.   She is not that kind of a type thats a beauty with no brain (by the way I hate that cliché) but she is a beauty with a brain. I just you want to know it, it's not importaint for the story or how the characters are drawn. But one thing's for sure, Naomi isn't the only female character in Hawaiian Treasure but one of very few (maybe I should discuss about male and female characters in General forum).

Anything else?

It seems interesting but why is the main-character totally red? Have someone poured 1 gallon of red paint over him or what?  
Good graphics by the way. (thumbs up)

Flippy: I didn't really get what you mean by the first line. Do you mean that the pic is more precisly how draw 'em?

NT3Grath: When I look at your example and mine of Naomi in profile, I saw that the breast is like a zit. At least I think so. I'm not judging too much at details so it maybe my judgement that misses out those things. I wonder if it really are like your exampe, or is it? I don't know. My mind is kinda split, so I don't know what is right or wrong at the moment.

Any more oppinions?

try looking to dragon's pic... The shirt doesn't take the exact form of the breasts.

I see you point but still... don't you actually see that on picture. But I don't know. Maybe it's just me.

And the sideview  - hm.. again those breasts, they look like a lump or a zits.

take a look:


See what I mean

Yeah, maybe you're right. Naomi's boobs are suppoused to be natural, not siliconed or altered by plastic surgery. I'll see what I can do about it. By the way aren't your example a bit... hangy?   I mean no offense, maybe I'm wrong but it seems like a bit of older women's breasts (like granny or so).

The front is improved a lot, but I still like dragonrose's way

Thanks for that you thought it was an improvement but like I said, I will try to find a way to shade those.

Okay, thanks for all your suggestions.   Until I have seen a pic of a woman foward so I know how to shade, I have altered Naomi's breats a bit. But will try hard to find a way to shade her chest as you requested but if I can't well you know...



I have also made her in profile which I did in some minutes (manybe eight minutes total time, I dunno). I'm not sure about her hair and arm, so tell me if there's something wrong with them. Well, I will welcome other critics and if there's something I don't like I just tell it in a nice way, so don't worry, I won't get angry again.



And by the way, I have missed her ear, sorry.

Yeah, ok, ok, I'm sorry! I'm very very very sorry, Dragonrose! I have quite short-temper and there some things I can't tolerate. I hope you can forgive me but I didn't like the way you changed it.

Well, I guess that AIG have right. But still want (please stop picking at me for this, please ) her breasts to be vinisble. Could you guys make it better without having to make the melons disappair or something? I'm very sorry for being mean, so please don't ignore me :'(.  

She isn't based on Lara Croft, trust me! Besides I have seen even bigger boobs than LC's (no kidding), so knock it off Flip!

I have by the way decided that my latest version will be the final version because I'm 100 % satisfied with it. That will be Naomi McCallister in the game Hawaiian Treasure. No more changes now. Maybe I'll post other sides of Naomi profile and from behind.

Hey! Now you have ruined it!

I won't accept that! It looks like she has a wide chest but with no boobs which is just horrible.

Jimi: She is around 19 but I like big breasts so what? Who said that young slim woman don't have big breasts? It's the same with fat women, some don't have big boobs. And before any of you guys ask, no they're not siliconed, they're real (if you would call it real since she's not for real).

Thank you both! I have planed the game for months ever since I downloaded AGS. I was going to take a break for it work on a smaller game but because I have got stuck in the process I'm going to go on with this game. It was suppoused I would release a demo in April but because of the problems with the shorter game, it have been late. But will give out a demo soon. Ten music pieces will be conducted by M0ds which will be pop, Hawaiian music, tropical music theme, jazz and blues for different locations. I haven't got the music and there are no screenshots available for the moment but I will fix those soon. I hope you all will look foward to this game.

Hey, Dragonrose. You double-replied. What do you mean with that you said about the breasts? I mean when you draw a character foward you can actually see them (or rather should see them) and when they are fully clothed they don't look so much difference to each other and also Naomi's melons both have them same size (even if it's quite uncommon, if you see what I mean). Anything else?

Ladies and Gentlemen, Gals and Guys... let me present my first BIG game: Hawaiian Treasure!

The story: It's about me, who goes to Molokai, Hawaii for vacation. On my first day on the vacation, I meet Naomi McCallister, one of Hawaii's most popular pop singers. She tell me that she wants to help out her sister who have not got so lucky because of she gets more bills than she can pay, so Naomi wants to find the legendary treasure of Kuduwudu (the Great Sacred God of the ilse's locals) but she can't because two mysterious men in coats are trying to track her down. I decided to help her out and set out to find the treasure for her. As I go around Molokai I discover many strange things that somehow had connection with the treasure, like the crooked undercover gang called the Pineapple Mafia (those guys had caused a lot of trouble on Molokai the last three months), the mysterious spy Pete Gunn, the corruption in Hawaiian politic by a unknown politician, the local's legend of a evil shaman who tried to take over the world (but he have been dead for almost 2 milleniums) and the multi-milionaire casino boss Joe Pineapple.

And here is the cast of some of the most importaint characters.



Mats Berglinn: That's me! I'm a nice guy who have always dreamed about adventures and finally I get one. It was one of many reasons for that I was willing to help Naomi McCallister. You play as me throughout the game and trying solve many mysteries AND finding the treasure of Kuduwudu god.



Naomi McCallister: Isn't she something? She have been singing since she was 11 and she have become twice as popular as Britteny Spears in Molokai. She is friend with one of the local tribes of the Island ever since she was a child. But lately she haven't met the tribe for three months ever since the mysterious guys in coats tried to track her down. Now I get to help her find the treasure so her sister can live a better life.



Joe Pinapple: He is a gambling racatere and the boss of the Rolling Pineapple Casino in Molokai's captiol city. But is there somekind of connection between the corruption, the Pineapple Mafia and the men who is trying to track down Naomi? Even if he seems to be a grumpy, greedy, busy, rich guy, there's something that's weird with him. What can it be?



Pete Gunn: He is a top spy who have never ever done any mistakes when it comes to spying. I meet him during wandering around in Molokai's capitol city and he wants me to assist him to find vital information about the Pinapple Mafia and their plans. He also knows who the men, that tries to kidnapp Naomi, are and why they are after Naomi. He suspects there is something mysterious about Joe Pineapple the boss of the Rolling Pineapple Casino.



Kahnawana: There is much that is unknown about this ghastly voodoo guy. Accoring to the old legend of the locals of Molokai, Kahnawana was once a gentle medicine-man and he wanted people to like him. The people he served had their minds on the great Kuduwudu and less and less asked him for help and advice. After a time the shaman got so mad, frustrated and down and out, that he attacked the villages in order to get respect. However, the great god Kuduwudu sent down a thunder-bolt that killed the shaman. About 300 years later he came back as a spirit and all the hatred and anger had given him strong powers. He started to take over the world. The god and a gentle shaman struggled against him in a long battle before Kahnawana have been weakened and captured inside a medalion that is said to be in the Reptile god's cave where the Kuduwudu treasure is said to be within.

In this game you will find cool things like: About 50 characters, about 50 rooms, many puzzles to solve and a cool secret.

The progress is very slow because of the lack of experience about AGS and problems with making backgrounds and characters fitable for AGS but here is so far.

Total story: 100 %
Puzzles: 100 %
Dialogs: 5 %
Art: 2 %
Programming: 1 %

And if you wonder, the GUI that will be used for this game will be the Lucas Arts SCUMM GUI, just like the MI1, MI2, Sam & Max, Day of the Tentacle and Indy and the last Cruisine and Indy: Fate of Atlantis.

Ok, thanks OTG. Here is another version of Naomi that have been altered after opinions of Jimi and Belphegor. With Paint I made up a human-skin like color to make it more realistic (Jimi's opinion) and I have put her legs together because Belphegor thought they were to seperated.



Myself I'm starting to get satisfied with Naomi but just in case I will see if you like it better too. Here's your last chance for options on how to change or make it even better.

So if I want to make Naomi more rounder and less squary should I download the programs or what? It's quite tricky to make small pixel characters round. I mean how did you make your avatar so perfectly round (not pixel like squares like my Crocis avatar)? It would be thankfull if you could give me some tips and hints. Oh and by the way thanks for the links.

No, they're NOT. I have checked at those adresses and there are only tuts for PSP and none of the adresses mentions Neopaint at all. Where is the adresses for downloading those programs? Tell me before I go nuts!!!

Uh... I wasn't sure I could find those. Could you put the links here, please?

But I don't have any of those programs.

Now I have made some more changes to Naomi and shaded her a bit after OneThinkingGal's example. I didn't know how to make the boobs rounder so I just shaded them. It's quite tricky to make things round without making them to big in Adobe Photoshop. How is it now.

To Flippy: Thanks!

Superscottishhero: No, that's Naomi McCallister, a hawaiian singer. Okay, I will make her skirt longer. Lips? I was going for a normal mouth but okay, I'll color it red then. I will change the arms and the shins but I really don't want to shrink her boobs down (what's wrong with that I like big-breasted women? It's the same as chicks likes strong guys or nice guys, so don't try to convince me). I'll change the neck but not the hands, even if I draw cartoony it doesn't mean I follow that "four-fingers-on-the-hand" cliché. So I don't going to change that. Anything else?

Sorry, something went wrong with the pic.

Here is another change. I didn't know what was wrong with her hair (sorry, Onethinkinggal, but if you showed me an example of how the hair would be, it would be much easier for me to change) but I have changed her neck, gave her a feminal shape, highened her dress, made her legs longer and shorten her arms. Apart from the things that you guys have told so far... what have I missed which I haven't mentioned?
