I think a anime styled cheerleader would be the most appropriate, male or female.

it should be a puppy with the osu! disk in its mouth, and its tail can be wagging.

:!: Each character will attract a different audience.
the robot will attract a majority of males, and the anime girl will attract more females, and Kai in a pink osu! suit will attract both.

I think he is quoting himself to remind us of his suggestion, but it does give the impression he's arguing with himself.

As for the mascot, I must confess I find all poll ideas a little..."standard", but I will admit I don't have an alternative suggestion that I consider original myself.
LuigiHann
I still don't see why Loginer doesn't just post the Osu logo on one of the chan boards and have them magically turn it into a loli like they always do.
Saturos
He probably hasn't because he realizes that if you throw that onto a chan board for them to do as they like, we'll end up with way more trolls than we do now, and more than likely no usable results.

1: The topic probably wouldn't get any responses.
2: If it did, none of the images posted would be a good mascot.
3: If the topic got a lot of responses, this board would get a lot of spam.
4: The mascot would be more "personal" if the community made it.

Yeah, but it's still a hilarious suggestion.

Back to Sinistro about the whole "we're not being very original" thing, that's true in its entirety, but on the flip-side, it's a pop-sensation sort of premise. How many original ideas exist in rhythm games these days? Well, there's the Taiko mascot, but nothing else really comes to mind. Samba de Amigo's monkey? A clever yet subtle racial stab.

The premise is likely going to lack originality no matter what we do. I think the creativity is in the design, and hopefully we can come up with something beyond standard in the way of character design, like perhaps why this character's cheers are able to accomplish some sort of objective. Why, or How.

I'd think some kind of outfit that channels rhythm into a form of energy or karma which can then be passed on to those in need of help.

Why don't we do a really fat, ugly, old anime girl?

That's original!

How about a really fat, ugly, old guy dressed as an anime girl?
On a less extreme side of things, maybe we could go for the androgynous look, either a feminine guy or a tom-boyish girl.

I think gabe should draw an anime girl.

Or a self portrait of himself.

Or combine the two.

Or his avatar will be the mascot.

Or something.

I do think that Loginer should make a 3D model of Gabe's avatar. Just for the sake of hilarity.

Came up with a couple concept sketches based on the ideas Lolginer, Sinistro and I were throwing back and forth (both in this thread and on ORC).

http://www.twinkfish.com/misc/osupippi2.png

Criticism are go, but, make sure you keep the criticisms to the design and not the actual drawing because fuck you I'm not an artist !!! it is also beside the point.

And beating 31Gabe to the punch, no, the girl should not be wearing the kimono. Criticisms are opinions, not statements.

Some things I was considering alternatives for was the grey leotard-ish midriff being just bare skin, and perhaps another hairstyle, maybe cropped or something. I think the hair shouldn't be pinned up in any such way (as that gives a more formal impression and a less spirited/lively/outgoing feel) but perhaps it could do to be longer.

The name is just a femininization of "peppy" that popped into my head while I was at work. If you like it, take it, if not, who cares. Not too attached to it.

Anyway, at least this is a start for the meeting tomorrow =\

I thought it came out pretty well.
Duoprism
We could have two mascots, the Osu! logo (with a top hat if people really want it) for the male mascot and the anime girl as the female mascot. Why settle for one when you can go for two? :P

I'm thinking the Osu logo can be like the Target people in the Target ads (peppy should know what I'm talking about).

Did you draw that with a tablet? Because it looks great. :/
awp
Yes, I drew it with a tablet and ty~

Any idea for legs? I did not draw them, but I was thinking knee-high boots, with a buckle design on the foot part of the boot with a rhythm panel on the top of it. I didn't draw it primarily because I fucking SUCK at drawing non-stylized feet.

The hand (front) only looks like a hand front because I spent like 20 minutes on that alone (I'm also terrible with hands but that one turned out alright after enough redrawing) but feet oh lord.

My friend drew my old roleplaying char and made this kick ass avatar, it'd be a good idea for him to be one of the encourgers. Or mascot, I don't really care...

Or if your looking for a female mascot


or just for the Lolz

Think you could tweak the outfit and hair to match AWP's concept sketches?

I didn't mention this, but your work is nothing short of awesome @ kage__7.

Seconded, kage__7 is teh hax at drawing. You should try finishing off awp's sketch, since I don't think he included a face or hands.

Any suggestions for accessories?

Some small hair clips maybe? You could go over the top and make like an osu-raver :P

Suggestion: How about a stylus with a face? It could stand, tapping the osu! logo!
awp
Oh shit I totally missed out on the request for accessories:

How about a slider for a belt or sash or scarf or something? Head/hair accessories would also be nice; it looks a little plain atm

AND OSU IS ANYTHING BUT PLAAAAAIN

How about a pair of arm shields with the Osu! logo design?

I was going to suggest initially a whole bunch of glow sticks for accessories, since this is a rhythm game, but that's kinda raver-ish

While the osu buttons are a nice touch, I think they're too small and subtle. I think it'd be better to replace them with something that'd be visible during gameplay, like a big pendant or something similar.
Echo
A pendant/necklace of the osu button sounds like a good idea, but remember we can't go overboard with osu buttons.

Yeah. I'm suggesting one, big Osu button instead of a variety of small ones.
awp
Also to expand on that thinking, leave the "osu!" off the button in my opinion - I imagine it'd look REALLY tacky.

GAAAH. I'm trying to find a good renderer for the mascot, and thought I'd settle with FinalToon. But I can't find the SP1 version anywhere(Found one link, but NOD32 reported it as a virus). I don't want it to look like a 3D model... ;__;

I think the model needs a bit more Curves on the torso(thinning near the waist area).
awp
The general anatomy feels a bit off. I think it would be really beneficial if you used references a la nude models (and let's keep it serious in this thread) as well as human skeletons. ALSO YOUR HANDS LOOK PRETTY DAMN GOOD APART FROM THE THUMB BEING TOO PULLED BACK/SMALL MAYBE. Proportions feel good but the torso is far too flat.

Also breasts are too high up; collarbones, anyone?

awp wrote:

They used to be lower - loginer listened to someone's advice and moved them up I think... they were more in-place before :/.
Topic Starter

Lowered the breasts, increased the thumb size, and made the body a bit more curvy. Here's a picture.

Also, awesome renderer is awesome.

I think this looks more like a young girl's body now, cool :)

It makes me sound a bit dodgy but slimmer legs and a bigger butt would probably work better :P

I don't think Lolginer actually needs a rendered image (right?), just basically an inked outline similar to what you were doing in your previous image. Just so we don't get the wrong idea and use up unnecessary energy.

On that note, I myself would still like to see a rendered image =3

Yeah, it's just that when you're drawing for a model you have to make absolutely sure that the proportions are the same down to the finest details in both directions, otherwise problems start cropping up for the modeler. It takes a bit, which is why I'm waiting ^_^;;

SOooo I drew up some character concepts but wanted to know what you guys thought before I proceeded, this is far from done but . Their outfits are very reminiscent of cheer outfits used in Japanese/Korean school. They are currently nameless but I like the name "Asami" for the female. Just throwin' this out there~ :)

Anywayz, here's a pic I drew in MS Paint for an MMO idea sometime back. Ignore the first two, but the third character was to be used as the example character for the Cheerleaders Club, she is also a character of mine that I have used in other projects.

OMG that's awesome for MSpaint!
Indeed, first 2 characters aren't relevant but 3rd looks pretty fitting for osu!

Ahhh.. nothing like a relaxing art break. This is based roughly off awp's rendition of the mascot, but I've made some changes.
