Please add the OK button instead of this dumb forg

Sorry the true ok button is reserved for DarkUnderlord use only.

I've made a few baits:

They're harder to see because of the background color.

I find the ''honk'' atrocious to look at so I'm working on an alternative. Anything pepe-related needs to disappear from the surface of planet Earth (and the solar system). Rpg Codex deserves better.

Static concepts:

Mostly based on the clown in IT.

Beautiful, only one suggestion to make it more inline with the purpose of the "Honk Honk!" button;

Joker-ify him. White makeup coupled with the colored facial marking would be more readable and more striking as a button; big red nose, grin and eye marks. Keep the colored shadows in his hair, though. That's a good improvement.

Spoiler

From what I've seen of your work, you tend to err on the side of more realistic portrayals of facial anatomy. A good skill to have, but for the purposes of forum buttons I'd recommend something stylized to be simple yet highly expressive. The little black dot-eyes of the bottom-most Pennywise are in-line with this.

You mean like this? Or this too detailed still?

...and this is with the original hair like you mentioned:

Better. Lose the eyebrows so the only thing against the forehead is the upper-blue triangle, and trade the eye-whites for wholly white skin. The Pennywise-hair has a better silhouette.

I *think* I get what you meant. I've included one version with eyebrows just to test things out but made it less noticeable.

A. No eyebrows

B. eyebrows

C. Different eyes and mouth shape

D. Another set of eyes and mouth shape

E. Yet another set of eyes

F. Eyes more like Pennywise and yet a different mouth

G. Different mouth again

H. Ears showing and yet another mouth

Could you point out which one is closer to what you meant? Do you think I should mix certain elements from one with another (the mouth for example)?



This is the reference I'm using:

Spoiler

Think I'm getting closer to 200 buttons.

 

[Ghulgothas]

E. Yet another set of eyes

This one is my favorite. One suggestion for editing; the blue triangles. Currently he looks like a four-eyed monster. Which is an effective visual, but the clownyness could be better served by altering his eyes and makeup. Like so;

Spoiler

Specifically the eyes and eye-marks. Beadier, bigger, blacker eyes with some space between the blue triangles. I'd also recommend a wider-grin like the penultimate two Skarsgaard buttons you have up there. As well as keeping his eyebrows shaved; a vacant expression with beady-black eyes marked by the two blue triangles and a wide grin would cinch it.

Oh yeah, and WHITE, HIM, UP.

A. No eyebrows

B. eyebrows

For the eyebrows, make them arched. His expressions here comes across as smug and bemused, arched-eyebrows would make him out as more unhinged and serve the button purpose better. Forgive me, but I am going to use an emoji to illustrate what I mean:

Spoiler

And I'm not feelin' the Skaarsgard versions on the bottom. The red-slits and his reduced forehead don't have the same character and appeal as the Curry versions.

One I want sometimes when people bitch about shallow things about games.

How about you change that to Ruby for an oldskool reference?

C would be good as it is. I can't stress enough how cute

is with those almost mitten-hands.

 

[fork]

He won't stop. He think's he's somehow special. He's been at it for a month now. On olddex this retard would have half a dozen tags and would be prosperised by now.

And the attention whoring again.

Make a good button, and it might get implemented (or not). It took a long time for some of Zombra's suggestions to get implemented, and tbh most of his are way better than anything you've shown so far.

 

[Zizka]

Regarding the whiteness, I was at 93 right now on a scale of 100 in my last go. So I'm pretty close to the max of being pure white. This next batch is at 96.

Regarding the eyes, I'm very limited in space if I want to keep realistic proportions. I can, of course, sacrifice some forehead space to make the eyes bigger. I don't think I'm managing to do what you're asking for however:

Variations of what I'm talking about:

I.

J.

K.

L.

M.

O.

So you see, I don't have enough rooms for showing the eyes *and* the blue arrows *and* the eyebrows.

I prefer the more realistic versions, personally.

Thanks. I still want to respond to Ghulgothas' critique since he took the time to give some.

I actually got the face shape wrong and the animation was a bit lacklustre, here's a new version:

Whatever you prefer is whatever we don't.

Good one, "eyes bleed" will be definitely useful

[Zizka]

Regarding the bleeding eye button, my only regret is that it shouldn’t look like Dixon, as it’s unrelated to him. I just used the same face from the “rage” button in order to save time. Dixon is (in)famous for flying off the handle about the most insignificant banalities. In that respect, he’s a poster child for anything spiteful. Not so much for “bleeding eyes”. He’s also an integral part of the Codex.

I’d rather use the likeliness of someone who could be related to “bleeding eyes”. No one really comes to mind, however. It’s not really something which could be related to a person in particular.

It would also have a very similar meaning to “what am I reading”.

Kruno

 

[Zizka]

There are no pictures of Kruno in the members gallery.

Anyhow, I've had an idea. By removing some hair from the top of the clown's hair and make him balder, it would allow me more space for the face. Besides, Pennywise is bald on top. I've also cranked the skin color to be whiter. The variation between each one of this set are minors but noticeable (smile size, with or without eyebrows, partly or fully bald, etc...):

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.

7.

8.

I wouldn't know how to improve upon the 8, unless you guys have suggestions.

And a new version of eyes-bleeding:

New version of It was Aliens in order to make it more concise:

Fake news:

A.

B.

C.

D.

E.

 

[Alienman]

Why does it change color to grey?

 

[GhostCow]

If we had all these buttons moving around and flashing it would probably give me a seizure and I'm not even epileptic

 

[Zizka]

Why does it change color to grey?

For readability. If I keep the color version, the contrast between “fake” and the background would blend together make it hard to read the “fake” word.

Yup, that's fair criticism. I do have a tendency to use a lot of frames for animation which can clash with the purpose of buttons. This being said, it shouldn't really matter since they likely won't all be replaced with the versions I've designed. In other words, whichever buttons end up being replaced shouldn't slow down the forum too much. It's something I'll keep in mind however to make sure the amount of animation doesn't end up being overbearing.

New versions of informative:

With outlines:
A.

B.

Without:
C.
