Help me to settle on a face design for the character I've just added to my game, called The Humorless Toaster. (It's only here to make toast, not listen to your nonsense.) (lemmy.world)

What's the first supposed to be, Adolf Toastler?

[–] [email protected] 50 points 6 days ago (5 children)

Oh, man... sorry it's coming off like that. Since it's called the Humorless Toaster, the main inspiration is Ron Swanson. At least that's what I was going for...

Ah. I think the moustache needs to be wider for that. Also, a label might be in order. Ron Toasterson or something.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

Agreed, wider and thicker with maybe a wavy/ ridge texture on the bottom half of the mustache and slight rounding/flaring on the sides that narrows to the top.

Feels like that's a good reference pic for OP.

Edit:

But I do prefer #2 more. Like others have said, it's simpler and easier to tell the expression.

I want to start a fanfic rumor that Ron is related to Ricky from Trailer Park Boys. Lol

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago (2 children)

It's the perfect pic, thank you. I admit I was working from memory

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

Mix the two and use a trapezoidal shape for the mouth, perhaps?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Keep the stasch and call the character "Der humorlose Toaster".

[–] [email protected] 20 points 6 days ago

Yeah you got the mustache in that realm. I don't think it was intentional, but Hitler really did ruin the shortened mustache look.

Have you tried a design where it has a mustache for a mouth? As another lemming described, wider and wavy at the bottom. And then it can move up and down when it talks?

Edit: quick and dirty mockup. This would be my vote

Just slap on a brown cutout mustache

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

Imo It would be hilarious and not confusing if you just used a cutout of the real ron Swanson mustache.

Idk how legal that would be or other solutions around said potential legality though.
