What design of a character do you like more?

Post by Gaplan »

I'm making a sport robot trainer character for my new game project. Help me decide which one to pick by voting. However you should vote which ones design and style appeals to you more, so don't judge by how good or poorly they were drawn. :)

option 1

it seems more robot-y. And I feel like the simplistic art style and coloring lend themselves better tot he pixelated formate

I actually like design 2, but I voted for 1 because the simplicity and coloring are more robotic. The musculature and coloration of design 2 imply an augmented human.

I think those are both fantastic!

My favorite is the one on the left. It does look more like a robot.

The outfit of the one on the right is also very cool, it looks futuristic

I think the white skin and blue hair more immediately and naturally communicates that it is a robot and not a human. Plus, it reminds me of Jenny from My Life As a Teenage Robot.

EDIT: the cheerful expression reads more like a trainer character in a game.

I like the face and colours of the second (right-hand) one, but the colour scheme and body design of the first (left-hand) I think is better in this case.

#1 feels like Wii Fit Trainer by way of Cave Story's Curly Brace, which is wonderful.

Reddish hair and purple clothes is a nice color combination in general, but I have to agree that the pale skin and blue looks more "robot-y." The super pale yellow eyes on the second one are a bit odd also, a bit hard to see for an eye color -- yellow and white tend to be like that unless you go with darker orangey-yellow or brown-yellow sorts of tones rather than lighter shades of pure yellow. Also, the first one's headphones look much better than the odd little headset mic on the second one.

So... I'd definitely have to go with the first one.

I didn't even read the part about this being for a robot before casting my vote, I just thought the left one had a more pleasant color scheme and face shape. And yes, it does look a lot more appropriate to an android, I think.

1 would not only be easier to animate, but she also looks more appealing to look at since there aren't as many elements within the design
