Here’s one of the many characters Scott and I are fleshing out- Ace’s cantankerous, but loveable mentor. I find that the more I work a character design to try and refine it, the more I tend to lose *something* that was captured in that first visceral stab (rough sketch). So I’m leaving this guy alone. he’s perfect and I can’t wait to bring him to life!
How about some name suggestions?
I can feel the tension already! 😀 This guy’s gonna be memorable!
It’s Uncle Roger! Really, spitting image.
I think it’s the mustache, but he looks like Ken to me 😀
I wouldn’t be surprised. 😉
Mentors are awesome! He needs some really cantankerous name though. How about Cyril ? It comes from the the Greek word for “Lordly, Masterful”. I like the name Claymore as well. It described a Scottish two-handed sword but still sounds like an old fogey.
Then have Ace call him “Gramps” all the time and watch the smoke come out of the master’s ears. 😉
Weldon, an expert in weldin’
Lance? Sounds suitably plumber-like.
Pro-tip, there’s no such thing as a “plumber” in Danish. Here most things like that are folded together, in this case into VVS “water, heating, and sanitation”.
I keep thinking you should name him Doc Brown, but maybe that’s a bit too vulgar 😉
I don’t know, Brown is apparently as common as Jones as a last name 😉
Dr Claymore Brown sounds pretty good actually….
Doctor of what? Proctology of course!
Haha, guys! I love it!
Along those lines
Master Plumber Irving C. Browngold inventor of the waterless flush. Affectionately known as Irv, but often referred to as I. C. Browngold.
Just wanted to add you need a three sea shells reference somewhere in the game.
I like Irving, he really looks like one. Make it an Irv! 🙂
Browngold’s not bad. 😉
That guy’s name is Coot. He reminds me of someone I knew personally with that name. Coot _______. Fill in the last name.
How about Uncle Cid? I don’t know why, but he looks like a “Cid”.
That guy looks like my old professor Hugh Dunnit. HD, as we all called him in med school (Tijuana Tech) taught me everything I know about brain surgery. Boy, ol’ HD sure gets around. . . Haven’t seen him in years.
I’m going for.. Lou Specs
Much as I like the sketch, Mark, I do think he probably needs some color for the game. So you’ll probably have to refine him somewhat. 😉
Here’s an idea, though… but it would hinge on him not having too frequent a presence in the scripted story. Since he’s from another generation, how about having him be the one and only hand-animated 2D character? 🙂
Thanks kind of awesome!
Scotty. Though, I’m not sure how many people outside of Florida would get it.
not being in Florida… er, huh??
Needles
Seymore Brown? (more subtle than Butts)
Or if you want something a little more made-up:
Stoolwin Fuddlenuts
Lol, how’s about Gramps McBowell…?
How about Vinnie DeLou, like the spicy dish Vindaloo.
How about Snake Drains? Dirty old coot he is.
Milton “coin slot” McGee
Reginald Fluchensphinktar
How about Des Drainlayer?
Guffy.
My vote’s on Gramps. Doesn’t have to be his real name; could just be what Ace refers to him as.
Would be doubly funny if he actually resents being called “Gramps.” 😉
But then it turns out his name is Reginald Furryflower, and suddenly he wants everyone to start calling him “Gramps” again.
Heh. I like that guy already.
I can’t think of these guys without think of Winston Rothschild III of Rothschild’s Sewage- and Septic-sucking Services! XD
He looks like a cowboy of the old west, or maybe a futuristic texas civilian 🙂
I would vote for Samuel (Sam) Nerves! Great name for some puns as well!
Mr Miyagi. Because it is so wrong.
“Hiya! Name’s Chester, Chester Brownwater! But most like ta’ cawl me Drippy. Nice ta’ know ya. Can I help ya? If so make it snappy, I’m pretty busy!”
Reminds me of a shop teacher: How about you call him Mr. Couts
Some funny names here folks. Keep ’em coming!
Hank! If I ever saw a Hank, it would be him! 🙂
Old man Johnny (on-the-spot) Pippinpaddle-Oppsokopolis *ahem* the Third.
Nobbins
Orts Swilnocker
Scruffy.
