Mojo Sir Slothsticuffs eyes boring. The shading of the flabs is impressive, but the robot legs could really use some reflective shading and a more vibrant pallet.

Try to give your pallets some life in general, it will really benefit your characters.


I knew the first one was a bit boring. I knew that he would only take a short time, so that's why he's paired with a more ambitious project.

So I should try and find some sprites of machines, and then try adding more color variety?

That doesn't really justifiy the design though. If it's boring, then putting it next to something more ambitious makes it even more boring. But remember that this is all just my opinion though.

And yeah I guess, if you want to make sir Slothington truly and well a Sloth, then I suggest adding some rust to the machine and leaking oil etc.






Or maybe just a pair of actual sloths fashioned in a neckchain.

Fair enough, it was just an idea I had buzzing around in my head. I'll either ignore stuff like that or rethink it next time.

The machine is intended to be really clunky, rusty and steampunk. I'll look at a few different references and see what comes up.

That's just too in your face with symbolism...

I think the first one would be a bit better if his hands widened out gradually, with big claws at the end.

The intention was incredibly long, slender limbs with normal hands, so that defeats the purpose.

Damian's right though, it's not interesting enough to warrant continued work.

If you're truly passionate about the character then you should spend some time in projecting ideas on his design. A good design isn't made irght off the bat, it requires time to evolve.

If Slender Jr. was 'just' a doodle though, then in my opinion (and remember that this is just me) it's a hit-and-miss.

I liked that space marine dude with the chainsaw supergun though, are we ever gonna see more of him?

It was a side thought that I came up with while thinking of Accel World if any of you know what that is. 'Glass Stalker' really isn't worth working on, compared to the 'main character' I had in mind. I say main character in quotes because otherwise it would imply actually writing a fanfiction.

More can be done with Riggs if you want. I've wanted to try animated the flip between a chainsaw and a minigun.

Gonna have to disagree. Just because someone comes along and disagrees with your vision for a character doesn't mean you should stop all work on them. It's an interesting design and I could imagine animation for him making the character. Designs don't have to be uber original zipper and clothing everywhere for it to be a cool design. Don't be so easily discouraged is all I'm sayin'.

Screw it, I'm making animations for everything when I get the time.

The second prince of Hell, Beelzebub, Lord of Gluttony.

Spider legs are hard, and yes, that's a mouth in his chest.

Rest of the seven are probably coming sometime soon.

The Avaricious Mammon, along with a pet wolf.


Starting to notice my design on these aren't all as fantastical as the last...
