Generic characters please?

[SuperSonic]

Hey, I'm having trouble getting the basic outline for the robot. Do you think you could upload a reference photo so that I could see what it is you want? Just any old picture will do. Even something from a google search. I just need to get an idea of what I'm making here

[Fojam]

something like this maybe. (without the slot machine thing on his chest though)

[SuperSonic]

Ok so you want an old school robot. That's great! It will be really easy to animate

I thought that you wanted an anime robot at first and I was soooooo worried that I'd have to draw one of those XD I suck at anime haha

[SuperSonic]

Ok, so how does he look so far?

And what do you want for the legs? Do you want actual legs or should I do like wheels or something? Just wondering

[Fojam]

wow that looks good. for the legs maybe do something like the one in the picture

[SuperSonic]

Ok, got it. And thanks

[SuperSonic]

Ok, here he is with legs

Before I animate him, I need to know if the colors and proportions are ok. Anything I need to change?

[Fojam]

it looks ok walking should be fine

[SuperSonic]

it looks ok walking should be fine

Ok great, I'll try to work on him today

[SuperSonic]

Oh, I forgot to do the front view of the monkey. I'll work on that before animating the robot. Do you mind me asking why you need a front view for all characters?

for when theyre standing and your not pressing any buttons, i dont really want to add the player direction code for their standing each direction, so i just make them stand straight looking forward.

Ok that makes sense, but it's actually not that hard to implement the code for direction standing. I could teach you. Plus, if you used direction standing code, it would make it easier for me to animate everything which means that I could finish it faster. If you still want the standing forward, just tell me

[Fojam]

i know how to, i did it in my smash bros. game, its just that in the original flash version i made it had him face forward, and i want to keep it consistent
sorry i know its hard to do face forward i just would prefer that because of the flash version i originally made

[SuperSonic]

Ok, that's fine

[SuperSonic]

Ok, here is the monkey front. I really didn't like the outcome that much but I honestly couldn't figure out how to improve it any, sorry. But I hope you like it
