Zixvir Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 adam doesn't have stripes on his nose, also he needs stripes on his ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zixvir Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 try making a smol mouth and attatch the teeth in there, that should work, also any of the yellow is too yellow, make all the yellow compare better to the pic of adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the chin still looks weird... -mane definitely needs fixing, like you said -I like the neck floof, however it kinda looks weird from the side. I think using the other material would make it look better, but I also think it needs to go just a little farther down the chest. (Later I might be able to draw and show what I mean but I can't right now) -I think the tail should be fluffier! How is Adam going to keep himself warm with that?? -His little smile is too close to his nose. Maybe make it go down a little more before curling up? (again, later I might draw this) -The ears look really thick. Obviously nichelings aren't THAT realistic, but on real animals, ears are pretty thin. I agree with everything here. Also @Zixvir's profile pic reminds me, Adam kinda reminds me of a simba plush I had as a kid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philo Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 Well, there have been many versions of Adam in the time being I'll check if we can do the ear stripes. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zixvir Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 oh it's based off of that adam. use the drawing of adam to make it, the drawing looks cuter and more realistic. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philo Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 Well, it's a bit of mix from all the Adams there are/were. Trying to combine them into the cutest possible design. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philo Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share Posted April 30, 2020 Ok folks, I really have no clue which I find better, so help me decide please ^^ Should we keep the current "fluffy" material for the neck? -> REACT WITH "HAHA" if you prefer this -------- Or should we switch to this "fur-like" one? (In orange of course) -> REACT WITH "CONFUSED" if you prefer this Thanks! 5 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I also think that it is closer to the Nichelings in the game. Also it looks soft and like you could put your face in it-- speaking of that, what's the scale of these? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same goes for the tail. Eve: show me the goods. Adam: *shows his paws* toe beans! 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam's toe beans. (This is the only image I could find of them ) It seems that Nicheling Toe beans are always a few shades darker than their fur. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks a lot better there than on the plushie. @Philo, I think the paw pads should be darker (like in the image above) than the highlights (ears, muzzle, etc), almost the same color as the pattern. It looks weird with it being so light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zixvir Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 hmm, maybe try telling them to use darker sades in general, always too bright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philo Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 Ok, noted that pads should be brown. 4 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philo Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 I did a Photoshop session with our artist Steffi (who paints all the Niche key visuals and made the intro) to send the plushie producers a good picture of what we would like to see changed. We adressed all these points and will give them the list: Should be changed: 1) The head shape looks a bit squashed and too pointy. We liked the previous version better. Best would be something inbetween the two 2) Change neck fluff material to the the more fur-like one 3) Shape of neck fluff should be a bit longer 4) Change Mane shape and position, make a bit smaller (was better on the version before) 5) The pads should be brown (same color as stripes) 6) The nose should be drawn a bit slimmer 7) Make the front paws a bit bigger (make sure they touch the ground) 8. Make the tail a bit bigger 9) Shape of the action point should be more oval and should have white dot painted on If possible also: 10) Eyes should be more symmetrical, both same distance to the seams 11) Make stripes on back of head straight 12) Remove the seam on the front paws 13) Make ears a bit thinner We have decided to keep the lighter muzzle after also doing a test how it would look without and we also decided to not add ear stripes because it felt like the design gets overloaded with them. Happy to hear some more feedback before I send this off ^^ 5 1 3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philo Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 I'm assuming it will take at least 2-4 months before we can even begin the Kickstarter ^^ (which we will need to do since we have to order at least 500) 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(plus it doesn't match up with front view) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
