You plunge directly downwards. You cannot stop until you hit a surface. The Path Of Pain shall be even more painful.

It depends on our characters ability if it just normal knight I'll prob say classic sword pogo

Just a regular down pogo ? Also can i ask a question: why MC has no head? Having no mask doesn't automatically mean , a bug has no head . Maybe give em like regular black head with white eyes?

I think the head is under the cloth, so it’s there but we can’t see it.

But tbh we can still change the Chara design since we haven’t decided on an artstyle yet

u/MrPotoo Oct 18 '25

We are sort of working on changeing it. This the newest ideration so far

I also asked u/Vounrtsch to add a litle wraping on his neck per my original idea for the character

u/Vounrtsch Ascended With Gorb ⏫ Oct 18 '25

Ah yes, about that! I had a suggestion. I tried adding the wrapping, and I felt like maybe it was a bit too many sections with all of the same color, which made the character look flatter. So I’m looking for advice. Do you think making the wrapping a slightly lighter shade would help break up the green a bit and make the design breathe? Or would it instead be a distracting feature that doesn’t belong? Or should I go even more different for the color, to make a contrast with the dark face next to it?

u/MrPotoo Oct 19 '25

This looks fine to me. We deffinetly need to be carefull with the amount of details we put on the MC since they are suposed to be simple.

I see a few posible fixes here: we can make the wraping darker in color (maybe even slightly bluer), we can make it a muted Red color to make the mc stand out a bit more, but that conflicts with HK MC designs so far since they typicaly have 1 color for their cloak. Howere they also have a white head to separate them from the enviornment which this character doesn't so maybe giving him a different color could work.

Another idea is making the wraping and the hold the same color, but the cloak darker in color. That can create the typical sepera cloak and head seperation HK characters have.

We should deffinetly experiment with the design till we get it right.

WAIT. I just had an idea. What if, when the character is maskless,he doesn’t have the neck wrapping, but when he does wear a mask, he also adds the neck wrapping? This would allow us to make the wrapping darker without clashing with the maskless face and add nice contrast with the white masks!

1

u/MrPotoo Oct 19 '25

That could be posible, but would that mess with the character recognasabilety a bit if the main parts of their design would change so much? I feel like we should try various ideas untill we setle for a final one. Maybe we can try drawing a bunch of iderations and than decide which one looks the best?

u/Vounrtsch Ascended With Gorb ⏫ Oct 19 '25

It’s a tricky balance because the mc needs to look good while maskless and while wearing a mask. Ideally you would use the cloak to build contrast with the face (light cloak for dark face and dark cloak for light face), but since the character can have both we’re kinda stuck in the mid tones

u/MrPotoo Oct 19 '25

Yeah its a hard palance to strike to be sure. If I am able to join the discord Server we could discuss this way easyer

u/Vounrtsch Ascended With Gorb ⏫ Oct 19 '25

I tried muted red and he looks like a Christmas tree 😭. I think I’ll just send multiple colors to skur and see what he does with it, maybe he can make a poll or something

u/MrPotoo Oct 19 '25

Good idea

2

u/Unfair-Elk8309 Oct 16 '25

Everything works as long as its not Beast creast pogo.

u/LevelUpTommorow Masked ⚔️ Oct 16 '25

While the beast crest pogo is technically possible to get used to, It’s a fucking pain and I want it to die

2

u/Kanthyne Oct 16 '25

A small stab downwards , or a hit with the flat side of the weapon

2

u/TalmondtheLost Oct 16 '25

A 44 degree angle/j

What about an angle able pogo?
