Introducing our magical heroine and our creepy monster protagonist!  Well I'm still deciding on what face I want the monster to have. On the right we have an alien/insect looking monster, it's a much more cartoony and fun looking creepy. While the middle one has a skullish/horror look and vibe to it giving it a serious creepy. I like both for these different reasons.  The girl is just cute! This will be her outfit for this animation but I may have her coat open later.

Gah... deciding will be tough because I really like both. What are your thoughts?

I like the middle one, looks more unique to me. Looking forward to this animation for sure.

Left is great for a fun curbstomp, right is great if you want the monster to be a genuine threat. What tone are you going for? ;)

miltoniusarts

Thanks! Yeah I haven't seen many skullish heads with insect features. I'll post up some animation progress soon.

I'm going for a fun, action feel. I don't think I can go wrong with either one though so it's all good. These are good problems to have. :)

I vote the middle face. The way it's almost more human makes it scarier.

I vote for the cutie on the far right! Woo!! 😍

cellion gohzen

the left one kinda seams...’derpy’ to me,so i would prefer the right,but think tone of personality needs to b deciding factor🤷🏻‍♀️

I like the one on the right more. It seems more fitting, but the one on the left is more of a homage to your og style.

miltoniusarts

Good observation, the guy on the right has a lot more design style to his face than the middle one. His sharp features fit the more fun style I'm looking for in that regard.

miltoniusarts

Ahh.. very true what you pointed out about my og style. I've been trying to purposely move away from my familiar style of design so that could be a deciding factor.

it might be more of a challenge to emote, with 3 eyes...but if you can pull it off, it might look cool! (the left face could still work, too, if you played up the fact that it looks like a "screaming pained soul." like if she said something perky, and he only spoke in "nightmare wails," and then she reacted like he said something normal. Like a horror movie version of "chewbacca!")

miltoniusarts

Haha those are really clever ideas. I like the idea that she'd understand some language the audience can't. Very interesting, I definitely would like to try that. That's also a good description of the middle guy, a manifestation of tortured souls.

Uhhh... the monster reminds me so much of the cockroach, which gives me a small goosebump, but that is what you might intended it to be perhaps? Good stuffs. Left or Right monsters are both scary for me, so the terror effect is completed. On the other hand... the girl is something, she's a beauty alright. Looking forward to it!

miltoniusarts

Yes, creepy like roaches is exactly what I want. Creepy monsters and pretty girls are my ingredients to make fun animations. 😁

Rattanan Leerasantana

The perfect contrast I should say, and very effective one at that! Creepy monsters makes girl prettier, yet not only that, it helps emphasized the "creepiness" for those monsters as well. I just love your animation style! Not everyone use this type, which makes your work the more interesting!

2021-12-11 00:13:52 Regarding the monster faces, the monster on the right looks more diabolical and plotting (smarter), &amp; the one on the left looks hungry, but kinda dumb, like a zombie, or something running off primal instincts....&amp; yeah, i threw that in there...

Exactly, two different looks give two different personalities. I’m leaning towards the right one because of the more stylized look. But yeah I do like the Primal Instinct look too. Haha 😆
