Your generic mammal for platform jump-and-run games.
Serving suggestions:
- Could have been a cat or mouse as well.
- May be adjusted to represent about any mammal.
- Drag some vertices around with attract-near-tool to change nears and nose.
- Modelling T-pose and rigging in MisfitModel 3D.
- Be sure to make bigger heads for smaller resolution sprites!
- Remove invisible polys and reduce polycount for realtime.
- Vary outline thickness for your resolution and taste.
- Apply different color schemes but keep them distinctive.
- Color rotation can be used on bitmaps after rendering to get 'new' characters.
- Applicable downto about 24x24 pixel sprites.
- You may wish to rig the eyes.
Further Advertising:
- Generate pixel-art'ish sprites in gimp nearly automatically.
- No single stroke.
- Layers and readme with information on the process.
- Just layer operations and filters.
- Could probably be done fully automatical with scripts and imagemagick.
- The future of sprite compilation from highres bitmaps.
- Automate your art pipeline.
- Infinite sprites from single 3d model.
- Secret method! Don't tell.
Obj- and MS3D-File included.

haha! Best clone avoidance ever! :D
OMG, thats all I have to say.
LOLOLOL SONIC
Theo! =D, good, good.
have you clearly taken inspiration from sonic? (the adventure style but without hair)
The character is clearly based of Sonic The Hedgehog, so it can be considered derivative asset. Good job OGA, approving such assets!
The character looks only thematically similar. This asset does not meet "substantial similarity" guidelines and would not be an issue for its comparison to sonic. If it were a derivative, that would be an issue, but similarity is not what determines derivation. There is no evidence this character used sonic assets as a base, guide, or model. Was it inspired by sonic? probably. But inspiration is allowed.
OmeroIvey, what the hell is up with your persecution of everyone and anyone to begin with?
You're not a mod at all, in fact, you've barely been around.
^I agree, the color scheme is not copyrighted and the designs on all parts are different. What right does OmeroIvey have to patronize someone for submitting art that does NOT have a licensing issue? Someone needs to go back to law school.
