Help me to settle on a face design for the character I've just added to my game, called The Humorless Toaster. (It's only here to make toast, not listen to your nonsense.) (lemmy.world)

What's the first supposed to be, Adolf Toastler?

[-] [email protected] 113 points 10 months ago

Good friend of Kettle Hitler

And they sit next to each other on the kitchen counter at Führer house

The house looks more like Jamie Hyneman with his barret to me.

Oh, man... sorry it's coming off like that. Since it's called the Humorless Toaster, the main inspiration is Ron Swanson. At least that's what I was going for...

[-] [email protected] 42 points 10 months ago

Ah. I think the moustache needs to be wider for that. Also, a label might be in order. Ron Toasterson or something.

[-] [email protected] 22 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Agreed, wider and thicker with maybe a wavy/ ridge texture on the bottom half of the mustache and slight rounding/flaring on the sides that narrows to the top.

Feels like that's a good reference pic for OP.

Edit:

But I do prefer #2 more. Like others have said, it's simpler and easier to tell the expression.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

It's the perfect pic, thank you. I admit I was working from memory

Yeah you got the mustache in that realm. I don't think it was intentional, but Hitler really did ruin the shortened mustache look.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Have you tried a design where it has a mustache for a mouth? As another lemming described, wider and wavy at the bottom. And then it can move up and down when it talks?

Edit: quick and dirty mockup. This would be my vote

[-] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

Just slap on a brown cutout mustache

[-] [email protected] 33 points 10 months ago

Upvote for Hitler. OP, I don't know if intended, but a certain German politician was the first thing coming to mind

[-] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

The mustache is much too wide. I don't know why everyone sees Hitler.

I choose option 3

[-] [email protected] 24 points 10 months ago

I agree. This is the best.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 10 months ago

This is how I keep seeing option 1 where the longer line is a chin/fat roll 😅

One is them is angry, the other is furherious

[-] [email protected] 93 points 10 months ago

Number 2. Unless you firmly believe there's no such thing as bad publicity.

[-] [email protected] 81 points 10 months ago

Toaster 1 looks like Hitler. Don't use toaster 1.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

Counterpoint: toaster 1 looks like Hitler. Use toaster 1.

[-] [email protected] 42 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I think the second one. Assuming the middle bit is a nose, fewer details make for better deadpan toaster expression

[-] [email protected] 37 points 10 months ago

2 for me. 1 took longer to parse.

[-] [email protected] 34 points 10 months ago

Is the Toaster related to Hitler somehow? If not then the latter.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

Nah. Hitler would be an oven.

2, but make him look more indifferent and less angry I think.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

I can’t believe this isn’t a joke

[-] [email protected] 24 points 10 months ago

#1 only if you want a Hitler moustache. I prefer #2

[-] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

Charlie Chaplin got done dirty. He was rocking that stache for decades earlier.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Some of Hitler's bodyguards said that Hitler was a fan of Chaplin. There's speculation (but not evidence) that he borrowed it because he liked Chaplin

The second. The nose-mustache of the first is confusing.

[-] [email protected] 22 points 10 months ago

Der Humorless Toaster ist nicht hier fur dein scheisse!

[-] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

NIEN!

[-] [email protected] 21 points 10 months ago

Depending on what you're going for, 1 and give them a German accent. Otherwise 2.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

Wasn't going for German that's for sure, although...

[-] [email protected] 19 points 10 months ago

[-] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Definitely #1. But you can't ever make any reference to it looking like Big H in the game. Just make it so people say "... is that supposed to be Hitler?"

[-] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago

Thank you, yeah was going for more of a Ron Swanson, but now I totally see how people can see The Notorious H.I.T.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

HIT? Hitler Is Toaster?

[-] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

For anyone curious, the game I'm working on is kind of inspired by The Stanley Parable, and you can check it out on Steam, maybe even wishlist (it would help a lot) : https://store.steampowered.com/app/2336120/Do_Not_Press_The_Button_To_Delete_The_Multiverse/

[-] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

2 for sure one has a confusing mouth-stache

[-] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

[-] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Who let out 426?? I thought I was supposed to be in a windowless room!

ICYMI, the joke is about SCP-426

Option 3 googly eyes.

Make the upper one more mustache-y by making the stache longer than the lips and bend it downwards on the outside.
