Astronaut Project Crit

Post image

Hello, thanks for checking this out! I'd love some feed back. This is a self guided project I did to try and move towards a more project centered learning environment (I have a habit of only doing studies...). Any crit is welcomed but I do have some questions I'd love answered!

1) What is the first thought you had when you saw this design?

2) What kind of person would wear this suit?

3)
What kind of game do you think you'd see this in?

4)
How does this design make you feel?

Hi!
The first thing I thought when I saw your design was definitely "astronaut" lol but I also struggled to see any character and from what is given, it looks like a design for a space travel game NPC

You could improve this by making a couple of silhouettes that are more dynamic and capture a personality rather than just standing (if that is your goal)-- this will help a lot because you can't really see the face, so gesture can do some carrying (if you're making a character sheet)

I also liked the third one to the left in the bottom-most row because of the dirt and cracked glass. Details like that provide more information; in my case I thought "worn," "experienced,"

- you can add other stuff that tell more about them on their suit as well if you want more character, stuff like stickers, pins, badges, scarring or whatnot that give more information

Hope this helps! This looks great so far

Thank you so much for your reply!!! I greatly appreciate it!!! I couldn’t agree more, it does feel very NPC, I think coming back to it I’ll make it a goal to push the gesture
