So I’m re-doing some of my Do Not Press The Button (Or You’ll Delete The Multiverse) character models and I have this duck that is kind of inspired by the Companion Cube in Portal. I want to make it as appealing as possible so the players will attach to it and carry it around with them. Which looks better! I’m more partial to the neck tie (because I like wearing them) but what do you guys think?

(If you want to follow how development of the game is going, a simple wishlist on Steam will be well appreciated STEAM )

      Bowtie, but make it a little bit smaller.

        I would say make the colors brighter, the size looks perfect to me.

        It looks too high up to me, maybe a little to large. It’s definitely too close to it’s bill.

    My issue is the disparity of the pictures, with the bowtie picture having the duck’s entire neck almost completely in shadow, while the shadow is comparatively minimized on the necktie image. It’d be nice to see both options under both light and dark conditions.

    That said, I currently prefer the necktie; it provides an element to the rest of the body. I’m the bowtie picture, everything is happening around the head - beak, eyes, hat, bowtie - leaving the rest of the body comparatively empty.

    Bow tie, but lower on the neck. Very dapper :)

    (Also, in the future maybe post identical bodies/relation to background. There might be some subconscious preference occurring based on subject’s proximity to viewer or foot appearance.)

      Yeah, both ties are too high, definitely prefer the bow tie though.

      Please swap both tie and hat! Also, make one other hat the classic pinwheel hat. :B

        I like the bowtie better, but I feel it gets lost in the shadows of the duck head. So, I’m leaning towards the necktie, just for visibility sake. I wonder what embiggening both tie styles a bit would do.

          I agree with this. The tie looks too business/professional. The bowtie has a certain charm. But it needs to be like “neon bus seat” design. You know the one I’m talking about. Or like water cups from the 90s.

    Bow tie but it seems a little too high on the duck’s neck imo, should be moved down closer to the body a smidge

    Bowties have been out of fashion for so long they just look silly most of the time. That seems like exactly what you’d want for a character who’s supposed to be whimsical.

    Also a necktie doesn’t go with a tophat. For reasons I can’t explain, that kind of incongruity looks more accidental than it does whimsical.

    The neck tie is less crowded. The bow tie with the hat and the ducks bill has a lot going on all in the same area. Maybe if the bow tie was lower or overall there was a little more space, it’d work better.

      Or if the chest area of the duck was filled with something to provide balance
