Hey guys, I figured I'd get some opinions on this new OC I'm kinda developing up on a whim for the new Court records contest. Since This is just a chibi I figured it would be simple to just look at the design elements that go into the character.
What I want you guys to do is comment and say the following:
1 thing you don't like about the character's design
1 thing you do like about the character's design
1 thing you'd like to add or change about the character's design
And here's some basic info on him as to not give away the juicy bits (though for those of you familiar with the PW world, you can guess who he's related to):
Name: Thyme Zout
Age: 27 (During Ace Investigations)
State of Origin: Principality of Cohdopia
Current residence: None ( Formally stayed in Borginia)
Occupation: Bio Chemist
Martial status: Widower
Hobbies: Racing (MotoGP, SBK)

And if so what's the OC's role supposed to be.
1 thing that I don't like about his design: His hair looks really awkward. It looks like you were kind of going for a feathery very bird wing based look, but it doesn't even seem like it attaches to his head all that well-- which kind of makes it look like some sort of taxidermy-toupee. The idea is very cool, and I think if it was not a chibi and you put more thought into how it would rest on his head and react to the scar on his forehead, it might not look quite as awkward?
1 thing that I do like about his character design: The Tron-like stripes on his pants, boots and vest. They add a nice little spot of color that makes you want to look at the whole of him, and not just his face. Also I like that his goggles match his bike, though it confuses me why he has two sets of eyewear.
1 thing that I would change about his design:
The front of his vest with all the large bubbly buttons does not seem to match the more futuristic/streamline look of his pants and boots. Maybe change it to a zipper, instead?
1.) Well Capcom has a very distinct 'quirky' look to their characters. And Since this one is connected to a canon character who has a similar wing design (Though he has it on top of his head), I wanted to make something fit those lines. I've put more thought into the layout of the hair here:

The scar is supposed to indicate the other 'wing' being 'cutoff'
2.) Yeah the canon connected character has a thing for glasses and hiding behind them, so I figured this one would have the same thing. Just that Biochemists have goggles that they often wear over regular eye wear anyway.
3.) The initial under jacket, while it has it's stream-line appeal I wanted to keep the 'nerdy' look as well. Since older biochemist jackets were buttoned all the way up to the neck I figured to leave it. I can try switching that out for the big jacket though since you can see from the non-chibi sketch that I've played with the zipper idea.
Thanks!
