Im trying to get ideas together to make a 3d mini golf game, using cell shading. this is the concept for the model of myself. what u all think?

You should shave more often!

Seriously, it reminds me of Ragnarok Online's graphics, smallish, roundish, cutish, it's a good way to go, ppl seem to find it entertaining.

i went to the ragnarok site, the art there is sweet. better than mine. I wish i was that good. I was just hoping that the cartoonish feel would be more attractive.

Well as for ragnarok online, It's the first thing I saw about this game, and I loved the cartoonish style. Too bad the game is boring as hell.

But your design is good too! Not as cartoonish, but it might be good anyway !! It all depend about the game style (serious one VS funny one)

PS : Nice drawing, I'd wish I've got your talent at last

Take some hints from Ragnarok's graphics!

And about the look, you may want to add some shadows, it looks too 2d.

i dont know if that last one was a complement or not, because that is 2d its not a 3d model if thats what you meant, or did u mean to make the ref look more 3d?

the reason i made this post is not to try to show off or anything, but i want to see if this is a good style to go with and i got some great feedbak from you guys, so i will go ahead and finish the other characters in this style.

Of course it is 2d. I mean it looks too 2d.
If you're going for that particular look, fine.
If not...



See this? Now this also is 2d, but it has a cartoonish 3d look to it. It has some fades/shadows, some shine, diferent width outline that i don't why but it allways looks good. You may want to look into it.

I like your style better then hot shots golf.. if that means anything to you. Make sure you do your shaders right, you really want a cell shaded look here.

Looks great!

Thats a hell of a lot better than I could draw...I wish I was more of an artist...anyway I love the cellshaded/cartoonish look, and for a mini golf game I think it would work perfectly, I can see the cell shaded, exagerated proportions windmill now....
