ok, I guess this is the place for your ideas/ suggestions.

so to get the ball rolling heres a small thing I did.



the basis for this is a more sumi-e/ japanese thingy similar to Okami ( one of the best games ever)

as a result though it looks like he's on a permanent acid trip.

obviously this would need some polish.

Also, I wouldn't take this one to serousily as I doubt i could do this make over to the other graphical sprites.

It's cute.

For what I envision on PQ, it's about 3 notches too far towards cartoony on the "cartoon <-> realism" scale, but I could see it being used in other games with only minor polish from there, to be sure.

I want one!

On a more ontopic note, it's definitly good. But i'll agree that I dont think it matches PQ.
End Communication

probabaly just as well it isn't good for pq, as making the non spherical monsters look good would have been a nightmare.

Chances are I'll churn out another few attempts tonight.

And those attempts have arrived!

a few quick things first though:

1. yes, I am pretty much chucking out any idea that I get

2. they were originally supposed to be transparent or translucent... whatever with there back grounds, meaning it wold look different if it was on grass or stone.



this time they look like jelly, the huge eyes persist and I've toned down the cartoon element. I hope.

:/ Sorry dude, it's just they seem too be too cartoony still i think. Also seems a world away from the heart of PQ, gritty.

Maby try something more gritty and see how it looks?

what if i put some grit in them?


ba-dum-tish!

Really right now if i have an idea i make it. as a result, several have turned out to cartoony. I might try to tone it down, or fiddle more with the other ideas. chances are neither will happen as I'm really busy this weekned and snowed under with homework for next week.

Fair enough, but i'm sure you'll stuble upon a great design eventualy

a fortunate accident, and the worlds first walrus slime!

no, really.

Hahaha. I love it! I can picture these things roaming the land, dragging themselves along by their giant tusks, leaving pairs of cylindrical holes in the earth just perfect for planting trees in.

O_O
Brilliant description, and possibly a good monster for an eventual snowy chilly area? so not everything is crammed into the existing area

that made me real life lol.

In all serousiness though I probably will have another shot at the green slime again tonight homework permitting.

I actually like the cartoonish looks, makes the 2d look cooler.
