the best Mary ;P

November 17th, 2004, 22:20

ok, folks. Not that I think I'm good at drawing or anything, but I'm in a design crisis, so I'm gonna ask you folks which Mary you like best/looks best...

for the ppl who don't know; Mary is some comic character I thought up once. Her design has changed way too often, allthough there are a few 'generic' designs, posted below.

So, which one is it gonna be?

pic1 - "ngemu Mary" - the version most seen here, hence the name.

pic 2 - "original Mary remake" - a modern version of what Mary originally looked like (sort of)

pic 3 - "new preliminary design (unfinished) - not really finished yet, this is mostly a tryout.

I like number 1 the best. It just screams Mary! The other two just don't look right IMO. They look nice, but not Mary-ish

I like the first one the most but about the breasts: They are a bit too 'hangerig' A little smaller will look better IMHO. Or at least a bit 'steviger'

Sorry for the dutch terms, but it's clearer for Samor this way.

i would prefer number three (but maybe it is difficult to draw it often, hats arn't easy ~.~ - after that i would take head of picture one)
the clothes from beta mary are okay... only could u choose an other treasure than blue jeans with flare (?) @_@ (*flüster* schlaghose, jeans die zum fuss hin immer weiter wird..)

I like one cause it seems more refined while two seems more outgoing and three is just well incomplete.

and If I redrew no.1 (like in my avatar

) ?

(I'm a little surprised, I half-expected that no1 would win hands down)

Metalmurphy · November 18th, 2004, 14:44

Hum number 2 is the best imo, 3 comes next. Nice drawings Samor.

How's this drawing? It's "no.1" but with my current style (which hopefully means I improved a little).

Kaiser Sigma · November 18th, 2004, 20:23

This is just me, but I prefer the orange/brown (my monitor is too old to tell) color for her hair...

November 18th, 2004, 20:41

ok, a few observations.

- it seems the "original" Mary design is the most popular one; it's actually less known than the other (1) yet it has a lead, I think that says something.

- Seeing as Popuri represents the majority of the female ngemu population ;P , we can assume that women have actually a better feeling for trendy clothing, and males prefer the traditional look. haha. ;P

- Certain comments tell me I've got to stop playing DOA, since it gives me a warped perspective of reality
