Costume Idea's?

[ZeroKirbyX]

Okay, I'm trying to make a sprite of this guy and I can't think of a costume. He's an 86 year old AWOL dwarf who's been a farmer for 60 years. I don't want him to be in overalls or a plaid shirt but I can't think of anything that a farmer would wear but isn't what a farmer would wear beacause it doesn't quite fit in an RPG. Does anybody get the jist of what I'm talking about? I don't want him to look stupid because he's one of my favorite chars that I made. HELP ME!

Attach box, must die...

I'm a farmer so I know a bit about farm cloathing, but I'm sorry to say, overalls, plaid shirts, and straw hats are the things that really point out a farmer.

However, cloathing "rules" don't apply to games. Cloud used a sword and wore a sholder plate in a world that used guns as weapons. So basically, anything would basically fit.

Maybe you could try giving him jeans and a normal shirt, but then spicing it up with fancy sholder plates, and a few other peices of armor. And if you're really feeling ambicious, a straw hat :-p

Anyway, I don't know what else to say, so good luck!

Huh? I was think about what my granpa wears when I'm with him and that's all I thought of. But he does use an axe as a plow and a weapon so maybe have him in basic farmer style and when I get him he goes and puts on some of his old armor so he can carry his axe all the time... I'll have to try that. Thanks man!

If anyones got other ideas go ahead.

And if anyone wonders how he's 86 it's 'cause dwarves in my game have 4 times human longevity from a farming lifestyle

He looks like he's 36 and he doesn't look like a Dwarf to me. But hey whatever floats yer boat! Using an Axe as a plow... I should try that sometime...

[ZeroKirbyX]

Meh, my game is meant to escape all cliches so dwares arent stubby midgets and merpeople dont have tails.

[papercup]

But isn't the tail what makes them merpeople?

[ZeroKirbyX]

Not to me, the breathing underwater is what make them merpeople. The tail just makes them look stupid.

[GhostClown]

No, the tail is in there also.

And yeah, he looks young, and if they age differently than humans, make sure to include that next time.

About clothes, I would just user over-alls, but make them better looking then just plain old denim and the 'average look'. And yes, if you think hard enough, you will think of something.

I thought to be classified a dwarf you had to be a midgit. How are you gonna have tall dwarfs?

That's like having tall gnomes and fat elves XD

Stick with straw hat, brown pants and red shirt. Or give him a bandana, a F*CK RULES t-shirt and some rapper pants since you want to avoid clichés to the point of having non-small dwarves -.-

Well, in all honesty, religion is a major part of my game. It's got the same kinda questions about creation vs evolution that I do, so the story is dragons created the 6 races but history reveals that the people evolved so sub plot, so yeah. Much more and it'd be spoiler.
