TheMario360 (Playable character) (?)

Great, this is more expressive! We have the impression he's going to hold his ground!


Design-wise, I find him a bit plain: is there anything, in terms of clothing or accessories, or features, which could distinguish him from a thousand of other mean in jeans/white tshirt/glasses/medium length hair? I think there are, and how or what can they tell us about who he is?

I would think about how he'd use his pencil: like a spear, a sword, a ram, a gun (why not everything)? Or like a wand? There's a lot of potential there, to make your character unique, to make him you.

Here's a blog entry on character design which may interest you.
