Sky Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 @Philo do you have any estimations for what'll cost us customers to buy a plushie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philo Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share Posted April 30, 2020 @Sky I don't know yet Still have to see how much production and shipping costs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(In orange of course) -> REACT WITH "CONFUSED" if you prefer this Thanks! I like the longer fur because you can probably stylize it more-- make it poofy if you want. 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...

Zixvir Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 it's fine as is, if the mane looked like more in game like I reccomended it might not be a problem, I'm just thinking of a way to make it look more like in game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goggles-kun Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Alternative option: an actual mane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostonlobstah Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Yeah I was thinking either long tufts like goggles suggested, or perhaps a thicker, more 3-dimensional plush mane on the head. Can’t draw a pic now but I will later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
