Help me to settle on a face design for the character I've just added to my game, called The Humorless Toaster. (It's only here to make toast, not listen to your nonsense.) (lemmy.world)

What's the first supposed to be, Adolf Toastler?

[-] ShareMySims@sh.itjust.works 113 points 3 months ago

Good friend of Kettle Hitler

And they sit next to each other on the kitchen counter at Führer house

The house looks more like Jamie Hyneman with his barret to me.

Oh, man... sorry it's coming off like that. Since it's called the Humorless Toaster, the main inspiration is Ron Swanson. At least that's what I was going for...

[-] JASN_DE@lemmy.world 42 points 3 months ago

Ah. I think the moustache needs to be wider for that. Also, a label might be in order. Ron Toasterson or something.

[-] bassomitron@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Agreed, wider and thicker with maybe a wavy/ ridge texture on the bottom half of the mustache and slight rounding/flaring on the sides that narrows to the top.

Feels like that's a good reference pic for OP.

Edit:

But I do prefer #2 more. Like others have said, it's simpler and easier to tell the expression.

[-] Road_Warrior_10@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

It's the perfect pic, thank you. I admit I was working from memory

Yeah you got the mustache in that realm. I don't think it was intentional, but Hitler really did ruin the shortened mustache look.

[-] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 15 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Have you tried a design where it has a mustache for a mouth? As another lemming described, wider and wavy at the bottom. And then it can move up and down when it talks?

Edit: quick and dirty mockup. This would be my vote

[-] SassyRamen@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Just slap on a brown cutout mustache

[-] tfw_no_toiletpaper@lemmy.world 33 points 3 months ago

Upvote for Hitler. OP, I don't know if intended, but a certain German politician was the first thing coming to mind

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

The mustache is much too wide. I don't know why everyone sees Hitler.

I choose option 3

[-] KingBoo@lemmy.world 24 points 3 months ago

I agree. This is the best.

[-] Jessica@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 3 months ago

This is how I keep seeing option 1 where the longer line is a chin/fat roll 😅

One is them is angry, the other is furherious

[-] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 93 points 3 months ago

Number 2. Unless you firmly believe there's no such thing as bad publicity.

[-] Barzaria@lemmy.dbzer0.com 81 points 3 months ago

Toaster 1 looks like Hitler. Don't use toaster 1.

[-] Mnemnosyne@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 months ago

Counterpoint: toaster 1 looks like Hitler. Use toaster 1.

[-] vikingtons@lemmy.world 42 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I think the second one. Assuming the middle bit is a nose, fewer details make for better deadpan toaster expression

[-] celeste@kbin.earth 38 points 3 months ago

2 for me. 1 took longer to parse.

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 34 points 3 months ago

Is the Toaster related to Hitler somehow? If not then the latter.

[-] Chickenstalker@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

Nah. Hitler would be an oven.

2, but make him look more indifferent and less angry I think.

[-] Shard@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

I can’t believe this isn’t a joke

[-] Gonzako@lemmy.world 24 points 3 months ago

#1 only if you want a Hitler moustache. I prefer #2

[-] Decoy321@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Charlie Chaplin got done dirty. He was rocking that stache for decades earlier.

The second. The nose-mustache of the first is confusing.

[-] FrostyCaveman@lemm.ee 22 points 3 months ago

Der Humorless Toaster ist nicht hier fur dein scheisse!

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

NIEN!

[-] Berttheduck@lemmy.ml 21 points 3 months ago

Depending on what you're going for, 1 and give them a German accent. Otherwise 2.

[-] Road_Warrior_10@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

Wasn't going for German that's for sure, although...

[-] Maelstrom@lemmy.world 19 points 3 months ago

[-] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Definitely #1. But you can't ever make any reference to it looking like Big H in the game. Just make it so people say "... is that supposed to be Hitler?"

[-] Road_Warrior_10@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago

Thank you, yeah was going for more of a Ron Swanson, but now I totally see how people can see The Notorious H.I.T.

For anyone curious, the game I'm working on is kind of inspired by The Stanley Parable, and you can check it out on Steam, maybe even wishlist (it would help a lot) : https://store.steampowered.com/app/2336120/Do_Not_Press_The_Button_To_Delete_The_Multiverse/
