HansuOddie's Oddworld fanart

[HansuOddie]

Before you say anything, I know that I do make "chicken-scratches"(I'M SORRY, please don't kill me Vyrien). I know they're bad practice, so does anyone know a good way to get rid of it?

Anyway here's a couple of sketches from tumblr:
This is a kinda old one, it's basically a species-swap between Abe and Munch XD


This is one of the newer ones I have. Was practicing on drawing Munch (and in all honesty these are the best Munches I drawn so far). LOOK AT THE CUDDLE PILE WITH FUZZLES


Lil' Alf and Abe :3


I... I have a lot of feels about Munch, okay?


And last this was one of those "draw the squad"-thingies


Okay so the imagines are REALLY big so I'm not sure if I'm breaking some rules or not. If it does bother anyone I'll try to make them smaller.

[Vlam]

The characters look effeminate. Why?

[HansuOddie]

The characters look effeminate. Why?

Really? How?

[FennecFyre]

Cuuuuuute.

[Varrok]

I wouldn't say they look like girls. They're cartoonish, child-like. I dig the sketches!

[Vlam]

They caress Munch.

[HansuOddie]

They caress Munch.

That doesn't make them effeminate XD

[Vlam]

Well, they don't look manly, if I'm allowed to say.

[Nepsotic]

Since when were Mudokons manly? Vlam just has a thing for buff Mudokons.

[Vlam]

Look at this visually impaired Mudokon:



But the drawings are good (anime thing).

[FennecFyre]

Vlam thinks he's a troll. Don't pay him much mind Hansu.

[Vlam]

I'm not trolling. I've never seen those things happening in MO.

[Varrok]

Vlam thinks he's a troll. Don't pay him much mind Hansu.

He's not trolling. He's trying to politely point out that the characters are portrayed in a different way than in AO/AE cutscenes. Not worse, but different

[FennecFyre]

If ya say so. But Vlam will be Vlam.

[Varrok]

Well, FF has already labeled you, Vlam.

[FennecFyre]

I'm mean like that.

[Vlam]

Anyway, keep up the good work HansuOddie.

[Nepsotic]

Now he's trolling.

[HansuOddie]

Thank you all!! I got some more doodles here!

Practicing on Abe's facial expressions. For some reason I really wanna see him get mad XD


Munch doodles


Also sligs are hard too :/

[Xorlidyr]

This is conventional, yet very masterful.

Re: Chicken Scratching

Actually, your lines all feel very intentional and gestural so I wouldn't say you have to fix it unless you don't like how it looks with your style, but when I look at your sketches I can tell right off the bat you know what you're going for and you can get pretty close to acheiving it with a few strokes alone. The best way to "quit" chicken scratching is just to... force yourself to use less lines to reach your final product.

I absolutely adore how expressive you can get the characters, and how well you capture the creatures ESSENCE with such a cartoony style. I'd totally hire you as an illustrator or storyboard artist lmfao

Why? Mudokons and Gabbits aren't suppposed to get along (according to Lanning).

[Slog Bait]

Essence as in, you can tell what the characters are and who they're supposed to be despite being so far detatched from their original style.

Fan art doesn't necessarily need to accurately represent the characters/creatures or the universe they exist in. While I prefer accuracy, especially when ~speculating~, I admire when someone can take something and make it their own and make it work as their own, which I believe Hansu is able to do quite well.

[FennecFyre]

Pretty much everything Slog said.

[Vlam]

Essence as in, you can tell what the characters are and who they're supposed to be despite being so far detatched from their original style.

I don't understand. On the one hand, you say: it doesn't matter if it's detatched from their original style. On the other, you're talking about "essence". But of what? The fourth picture is bugging me. Not the art by itself. They are way too intimate whereas in MO they aren't "friends", they only help each other (Munch really is a pain in the ass in the game).

[STM]

Where did Lorne say they don't get on??? Never seen this before.

I like it, I think the art is cool, especially the cartoony style, you really convey expression well. Would love to see what you do with a splash of colour.

[Vlam]

IT: What role will Abe play in Munch's Oddysee?
LL: Abe basically kidnaps Munch in the beginning, so Munch really hates Abe
for first half of the experience.

IT: What will the relationship be between Munch and Abe?
LL: Completely dysfunctional... until they learn how to get along. Munch
winds up in a wheelchair for a good part of the story, and during that time
Abe just pushes him around to where Abe wants to go, without concern for
how Munch feels. So Munch really resents Abe and doesn't hesitate to let
him know it.

Huh that would have been a cool dynamic, dunno how well it'd translate to gameplay though...

[Vlam]

Only by playing MO you will see that Munch and Mudokons are indifferent from each other (same thing between Fuzzles and Mudokons). Munch and Abe don't hug.

[Alf Shall Rise]

No...but maybe they should.
