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?

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.

If I have to look the guy up, he's not well known enough to overtake the Hitler resemblance lol

[-] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 9 points 3 months ago

This guy clearly didn't watch mythbusters in the mid 2000s

[-] Chocrates@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

I thought Jamie hyneman was a household name.
How old are you?

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 22 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

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Mix the two and use a trapezoidal shape for the mouth, perhaps?

[-] Iapar@feddit.org 1 points 3 months ago

Keep the stasch and call the character "Der humorlose Toaster".

[-] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I want to start a fanfic rumor that Ron is related to Ricky from Trailer Park Boys. Lol

[-] Kalkaline@leminal.space 20 points 3 months ago

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

[-] antmzo220@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 months ago

Imo It would be hilarious and not confusing if you just used a cutout of the real ron Swanson mustache.

Idk how legal that would be or other solutions around said potential legality though.

[-] 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.

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

Hitler's mustache was initially longer, however there was a decision to trim it. There are various theories as to why it was trimmed and shaped into the toothbrush as we recognise it for today.
