Yeah it might have been the eyes actually. The version from Laythe seems better. But still... I guess I just don't like it in 3D.
Ond:
I really like the critical feedback and ideas, thanks guys.

My grandmother has an ancient, rare, Pac-Man squeak ball and it has teeth.

This is the exact same one I grew up playing with (not hers specifically):

That's what I was thinking of!  :cheers:

Im anxious to see how you pull off the drab look of the MDF edge without covering it with t molding, but if anyone can do it, it's you.

I'll get it as close as I can to the render.  I think with thinner MDF it wouldn’t look so good, but the thicker curved edges are quite different if they are slick and glossy.

Feel free to tell me to buzz off, but 2 things that struck me - Pacmans eyes. Not sure if he's Asian, or squinting, but it made me take a second look. Also, the G in Legion could be easier to read.

Good feedback!  Yeah I was trying for the squinty badass look.  I didn't even notice the G in Legion, agreed, it needs to be better defined.


--- Quote from: Laythe on December 07, 2018, 03:23:15 am ---I think it's the eyes that are tripping me up more than the tongue or the teeth. 

I know it frustrates me when people make vague complaints at my art, so I tried on the kind of eyes I was thinking of and ended up with this - whether you think that approach helps is of course your call.

In any case, thanks for the preview and for bringing something new and cool to the table!

Thanks Laythe, I looked at various Pac-Man inspired art to see what had been done with 3D versions, but the simple black eye you've suggested works very well for me.

I like the 3D version with Laythe's suggestion I'm going to stick with it for now.

Taking in the suggestions, I think I've made a more Arcade suited version with updated eyes on all characters. I made the blue in the ghosts a bit lighter so they 'pop' a bit better too.   I like it better than before.

That is quite a modern take on an old concept, may even try one myself ;)....https://www.powdercoating.org/page/PConWood
morton:
I am sick of thinking about Tmolding and this is something I've often thought of since making a joystick using similar concept. Definitely gotta be double thick for a cabinet/cocktail, but the finished MDF can look awesome.

The only way it could look more awesome is if OND does it  :notworthy:
yotsuya:
Those eyes definitely look better.
