    everything about the redesign is okay, but the eye-arches got to stay. it's what gives richard's face "menace" and expression. without it, he looks like he's made of dough.

    Unless the result is a very very very good full feature series I would reconsider the redesign. It would be fine for silly shorts but it subtracts from the character. And if it was a full feature series i guess funding wouldnt be the main issue. The simplification of cartoons in the last decade is not anything to embrace

      I don't think he's doing anything with the movie/series idea anymore. I'm not even sure if he intended to make them at all. From the "This is War" kickstarter alone, he made almost enough money to do both it and the pilot episode based on the goals he created for them. The "This is War" campaign only needed $14,000 but it got $132,640. The pilot needed $196,595 and got $68,452. If he had put the leftover money from "This is War" into the pilot/movie like he said he was going to and asked for less money to make the pilot (by which I mean not just less than the goal but also less than people actually pledged to it) he would have had more than enough to make both "This is War" and the pilot plus he would have had a good amount of money left over. Either it was a scam or he's just terrible with money. I hope it's the latter but you can never be sure with Kickstarter campaigns. I wonder if the pledgers ever got their money back for the pilot and what happened to the $118,640 leftover from "This is War" that was supposed to be used on the movie/pilot?

  • @kennystoneman2584
    @kennystoneman2584 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Just got around to watching this. Sorry to say it, Sohmer, but this feels like a step backward. Richard should look sharper, not softer, and he's expressionless without the eye arches. Put the old Richard next to the new one, and you should be able to see that this looks like a downgrade. :( I'm as excited for an LFG animated series as anyone, but if this is what it would look like, may I recommend going back to the drawing board?

  • @Lingura123
    @Lingura123 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    From a design and animation perspective, Richard looks great.
    On his own, it is easy to distinguish him from the background. But in an animated series, Richard will often find himself interacting with other characters and will very likely be overlapped with some detailed background, like people crowds. A simple thicker outline would make him stand out, and it will also define his lines of action better. To push it even further, some tweeners (distortion and bone-breaking frames) would make the animations smoother and more fluid.
    Check out McCree's POTG rolling animation from Overwatch. There is a very weird looking frame where he is super distorted, just to REALLY sell that barrel roll. It's one frame and it does the job so well.

    I've been reading your LFG comic since page 32 was released, and you've grown so much. I can't wait to see what you do with the animated series.

And did the top down game ever get made? (Edit I can't find anything about the lfg game I know I saw a trailer for so either I'm getting Mandela effect'd or it's been wiped but I clearly remember seeing something about it and getting pumped at like 15-16 but that was 12ish years ago so idk)
