Description This is a bit scattered-looking, but whatever. I just wanted to get these up. I thought of some character ideas during work today, and drew them up when I got home. Their names are up there next to them. My favourite is Dick Roach... I actually came up with him months ago, also at work. I drew him all over my sticky notes. I think he's adorableβ€”he's an upscale, snooty cockroach. I'm not sure if he even belongs here. He maybe deserves the distinction of his own post...

I'm putting a critique request on this, but I'm not too interested in critique of my technique... I did these fast and I know they could be executed a LOT better. I'm more interested in what you think of the designs emotionally and conceptually. Do you like them as people? As ideas? Or do you dislike them? That's what I'm interested in hearing.

!! Uh, yeah, actually, that would be a big honourβ€”of course, I'd like you to credit the character design to me, and link to the original piece, but that would be thrilling to see!

OCEANSCENTED In reply to AppleAtti [2012-05-10 06:12:02 +0000 UTC]

There's no reason why I wouldn't link to the original, don't worry. : P

I'm sure; I figure it's just always best to make double-sure.
It means a lot to me that you like the character! I like your characters a lot, too. If you want to make this an art trade, just let me know what you'd like in return! ^_^

SorenOsiris [2012-04-02 02:20:38 +0000 UTC]

by the way I love these so much. I keep just coming back and just staring this. the pennant goon is my favorite, and it reminds me of the scariest part of fullmetal alchemist, [link] [link] , as well as, to a lesser dgree, one of my favorite characters from the same show [link] [link] .

AppleAtti In reply to SorenOsiris [2012-04-02 09:04:37 +0000 UTC]

So glad you like these! And I do see the resemblance to the fullmetal alchemist characters. I'm suprised you like the Pennant Goon best, though! He's my least favourite... not a lot of flow, and kind of an afterthought. But I guess it's good that even my least favourite is somebody's favourite... and you're not the first to like it, either! Who'da thunk...

I love every one of these, I dunno if I can pick a favorite but the apple worm, pennant goon and mooncow are awesome looking.

I would eat the butterball boys.

Oh, and thanks so much for your kind words. I'm a pretty huge fan of you character design and reviews of character designs, so it means a lot to me that you like these guys!

AppleAtti In reply to scythemantis [2012-03-31 08:40:39 +0000 UTC]

You would like the pennant goon... he's probably more subconsciously Mortasheen-inspired than I originally realized... Something about that pronounced vertebrae...

JaxkelS [2012-03-22 01:47:01 +0000 UTC]

Butterball boys... it's gross and maybe a little bit gay, imo.
Brontosoreneck... I can't see sores without the the help of stars. Then what's the difference from brontookayneck?
Mooncow... I can see only a little bit of moon and cow. Better than nothing, I guess.

They're all good. but the goon is strange for me.

AppleAtti In reply to JaxkelS [2012-03-22 04:52:23 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I think the Goon is strange for everyone.

A Brontookayneck (more often known as Apatosaurus or Brontosaurus) is the variety you usually see in the textbooks... Their necks are smoothly sloped, not crooked at all.

The Butterball Boys are not just gross and a little gay... they're incestuous and cannibalistic, too. Just the way I like it.

Ohman202 [2012-03-21 16:18:08 +0000 UTC]

I think these are really interesting and creative people. I like the Gingerbread snowman hybrid, Cyborg Twins, and Richard "dick" roach the best.

Thanks!

We have similar tastes! Replace the Gingerbread Snowman with the Butterball Boys, and those are my favourites, too.

wildly random. NICE.

Thanks so much! I was aiming for randomness to some extent, so I'm glad to hear that worked out.

Leady [2012-03-21 07:43:55 +0000 UTC]

They're all pretty creative.
My favorites are Brontosoreneck, the balloon bugs, and Vial Fiend

Thanks! Do I perhaps sense a fellow lover of puns...?

Leady In reply to AppleAtti [2012-03-21 17:09:29 +0000 UTC]

I enjoy good puns. And I think you did a splendid job of bring the "vile - vial" pun to life.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

AppleAtti In reply to Leady [2012-03-21 18:13:44 +0000 UTC]

The crazy thing isβ€”that was an entirely accidental pun. I designed him, called him that, then realized the pun. I make a lot of accidental puns... which is lucky, because I actually like puns, and my intentional ones are terrible.

Leady In reply to AppleAtti [2012-03-22 00:27:54 +0000 UTC]

That's lucky. I like the other ones just because I like Dinosaurs and Bugs, haha.

Nothin' quite like dinosaurs and bugs, gotta agree with you there.
