Looks fine as a still image -- I don't know how it's gonna be animated, but right now the character looks perfectly fine as is.

Also, LOL, Mr. Bean!?!

I think the art looks fine, it's tough to make a judgement though on whether he fulfills his purpose without knowing more background.

One thing that's important is to make him have some twitches and stuff if he's going to be idle, like fidgeting, scratching his head, looking around, blinking etc.

Well, as far as the background goes, he's meant to be an average joe that can accomplish average tasks, yet has alternate personalities. You can switch to these personalities throughout the game to accomplish certain things that he himself could not. If that makes any sense...

You inspired by Mission Hill by any chance? The style feels similar. I like it.

This is Important

On a terribly sad note, George Carlin died yesterday of heart failure. He did so much drugs and alcohol in his youth I'm not exactly surprised but it is still always shocking. He did make it to ripe ol 71, which is pretty good, considering his history. But, still, we lost a good one boys. :(

On a lighter not. HAIRHATS

I'm loving the idea behind this eaterie :D

Re this is important
Ya I read that today, sucks, but at least he left his impact on many people before he took off.

No, go for it. AS Main was remade a while back by Denvish though did you know (about 6 months ago I believe) so i'm assuming you saw the newer topic, and that that is the one which hasn't been updated? Go for it, might aswell.

Yeah I am aware that Denvish started a new topic of it, but I am also aware that he locked that one and reopened the old one when he realised that all the AS: Topics linked back to the original AS:Main.

If a few extra posts are made and it gets up to the new page I'll update. Thanks for your input.

Hehe, I just love - "He insists the only way his sandwiches could kill the customers is by their generous proportions."

Haha, yes. I've been watching it lately and I really like the style of it. I made this character from scratch but he is based heavily off of the style of Mission Hill. Good eye, though.

I noticed that too! I really like that show. Do they still give it on Adult Swim?

Another show i really liked too was Home Movies.

Sorry for the double, but

Topic Titiles

Am I the only one annoyed by misleading topic titles? The topic wills say something like "I need some help", or "I'm so friggin confused", and I think if it's anything with animation I can, but it ends up being an AS question.

People should title their topics with their specific question, would just save me a lot of reading AS posts.

Maybe you should just learn AS.

When I saw it, I thought those faces were gonna be just incidental things - the character reacting when something around him happens.

If it's a key game mechanic and we need to be able to tell what 'personality' we currently are, maybe make them more distinguished? Like maybe have angry guy with a red face, bulging vein, worried guy with a raincloud above him... maybe content guy could have some rosy cheeks and add some sunshine around him?

Or at least exaggerate the faces and maybe poses a bit more?

Just an idea - if it's difficult to tell them apart at the scale they're being used, it could get annoying...

My favourite was the elephant, but they're all astounding. Shame there's no background about how it was done - PVA in their hair? Hrm...

No, no, those are just incidental. I was just letting you know I wanted that character to look like an average guy. His alternate personalities, he's going to physically change. Those were just some different looks the main character had in his normal state.

He's going to be looking a lot different after he switches personalities.

Sounds quality then.

Also, original concept. I look forward to seeing it!

What I'm wondering is what kind of puzzles require different personalities?

Well, maybe if he got in a fight he'd need an aggresive personality, but that wouldn't be helpful in a game of chess, would it?

sucky examples, but to the point.

I had a dream dookiemaister made a flash movie where this woman hurls into this guys mouth and then walks away...it wasn't graphic, but he asked for donations in the author comments and I was about to give him five dollars. I don't know if dookie even does flash, I think he's an art forum person... WEIRD.

I had a dream my cousin knocked out his friend to steal his watering hole, and was inspecting it to see if it was worthy to swim in. Then I woke up.

Normal, right?

Hehe, that's awesome. It's a lot nicer than the weird crap my brain keeps throwing at me lately.

misleading topics
Happens to me two =[

I went to Universal Studios when I was 7 and went on the backlot tour. The backlot tour takes you through scenes of movies and two of the scenes were King Kong and Volcano. These tour scenes were so scary to me that I started screaming so loud they had to stop the ride and let me off.

I had nightmares for three years with King Kong and Volcano being the center of each dream. My parents worried that I had some permanent psychological damage from the ride and that I was going to need medical help. Thankfully the dreams stopped after a while, but man I had reoccuring nightmares for years over those two movie sets.

I have reoccuring dreams about exams. In my dreams some friend called me to say I missed the exam or I have studied the worng subject that day. I heard alot of people have exam-related nightmares
