Professional Comic Book Artist FIXES HORRIBLE Concord Character Design Part 6:DAW

[@satan2k]

You just transformed the cookie dough in a real doc. Well done.

[@BlacklistUniverse]

Thanks!

[@amylester6958]

I had no idea the character was supposed to be a medic! It's a good suggestion to look up what the character is supposed to be for the redesign. But if the original designs were doing their job at ALL, you should be able to tell at least their function from looking

@@BlacklistUniverse Yeah that comment you made on doctors being overweight... I have seen that IRL, but it's quite rare... I usually also only in older people with failing health.

Wait, what do you mean he was a doctor?

[@guilhermelopes986]

Thing with crocs and medical shoes like crocs is that they're mostly a single piece of material that doesn't really absorb water like fabric/leather shoes do, so its both comfortable and very easy to change, wash and dry if someone pukes/bleeds on your feet or something.

I can't get over how well this worked out. He(?) went from a completely random plumber-man dressed for the dead of winter for some reason, to a strong-shouldered doctor that plays Australian Rugby on the weekends for _fun._ He looks like he'd heal you in a judo-lock.

@@BlacklistUniverse Your discussion of this reminds me of how... A: Combat medics IRL DO actually have a rather large tote for medical gear.

I think keeping him "big" while toning down the obesity was a good move. He looks more stocky and stolid now because as a field medic he's going to be carrying people, moving debris and rubble and other things that require a bit of muscle and heft. Plus it gives him an imposing sort of look which would help with any kind of intent to break any Geneva Convention like rules surrounding attacking medics.

A few things: 1) All this time I thought Daw was a woman (though that's probably intentional on Firewalk's part) 2) Between the goggles, the parka, and the gun, the original design was most definitely a Bond movie henchmen, skiing down mountain, shooting a comical number of bullets at 007.

From chubby dough to gigachad doc - nice transformation

[@melissalester5140]

As an overweight, insecure girl, I was always thrilled when I saw an overweight character treated with respect and dignity. Mary from Tobal No. 1 was my hero! She was big, but powerful, and dedicated to taking care of her son. I still always wanted to lose weight, but I was glad she was there, you know? Daw is supposed to be that character for a new generation, and I appreciate that idea. I think, though, that Mike's design gives him a sense of power, purpose and competence that people insecure about their bodies want to feel. Without that, the original design feels like it's saying "See how ridiculous you look, trying to do something cool?" Thanks, Mike!

I like this redesign. Gives a sort TF2 vibe with the Lab coat. Also it's good you decided to keep his weight and add strong shoulders. It makes him kind of look like a powerlifter. It looks cool and keeps the body type. It helps him standout more. When i look at him i think "This guy's a medic but he also looks big and strong"

[@md_vandenberg]

New Daw looks like Master Chief would call on him for a rescue.

[@RealCoachMustafa]

He looks super buff now. One thing someone pointed out to me about the original design is that despite how obese he is, he doesn't have a double chin. It makes his head and body look like they don't go together.

[@JCascade6065]

Fun fact! The Red Cross symbol isn't copyright. It's Geneva Convention. Using the symbol in a sold product without Red Cross's permission is technically a Geneva Convention violation and they have in the past sent letters to game companies telling them to cease their use of the Red Cross. This is why many games color-swap it to green.

[@CruelestChris]

Same for companies selling first aid kits. The videogame one is ridiculous and clearly not the intent of the Convention, which is to stop armed forces abusing the marking on military assets.

[@longtsun8286]

You can justify the antenna by saying he often works in areas where there's a lot of background radiation or atmospheric distortions (from electrical storms, etc.) that disrupt transmissions from newer (antenna-less) devices, forcing him to use the older communications systems. A medic does need to regularly communicate with others, e.g., pilots flying medevac choppers (or their futuristic equivalents, maybe using antigravity devices to fly) and field hospitals who'll treat his patients once the medevac chopper brings them over. Though I thought his backpack was for a pavise (shield), so he can protect his patient and himself from enemy fire, while he treats the patient- in which case, the antenna should be moved elsewhere. Either way, excellent work on the redesign. I agree, seeing a fat medic is like seeing a bald barber, or a skinny chef.

Weird not so fun fact: You can't use the red cross in video games (it's usually recolored as green) as the Geneva Conventions specifically prohibit the use of the red cross emblem by any organization, individual or corporation that does not belong to the actual red cross and crescent organizations.

[@GarethDragon]

To me, Daw was one of the most laughable looking characters in Concord. I didn't even know he was a medic from looking at him, all I saw was an overweight guy in a blue coat with his waistband so comically high it accentuated his shape (and not in a good way). And that face too, it didn't look like it had seen combat, or even had an ounce of fighting instinct. It was too soft, too approachable. Daw didn't look dangerous, he looked like a joke character and there was no way I was convinced he was some sort of soldier with a body like that. I love what you did here, you made it clear he's a medic and with some practical equipment too. You kept his bulk but made him look in shape, like maybe there's a bodybuilder's physique under his clothes. And of course you gave him a much fiercer looking face, even making his daft ski goggles look cool. This is the sort of character I'd want watching my back, not the original Daw. With the original I'd worry he'd be keeping up with me considering all the running and moving you do on a battlefield.

[@4FunCycle]

The shape still seems very blob like to me. I think it's the coat concept that does it as much as the weight of the character. The coat takes away the triangle shape from the shoulders and shoulder pads leaving you with a rectangle. But, you wanted to stick to the character concept as much as possible meaning you needed an overweight guy in a long coat. You added the backpack to the silhouette which helps a ton. Most importantly, you added ascetic elements which tell the players what this character does. This key concept is missing from all Concord characters. Team Fortress 2 is the classic "how to character" when it comes to team shooters. You can remove the weapon and still instantly know each characters role and abilities.

[@wingsclippedwolf]

So, this redesign reminds me more of of a certain former Army medic I knew and less marshmallow. In Afghanistan, soldiers wear about 70lbs of kit. One day, a one-man Huskey vehicle (google if you need a visual) in the lead got hit with an IED. The medic, a large guy, climbed up the RPG cage and onto the roof of the downed vehicle wearing his kit, opened the top hatch, and with one arm pulled the unconscious soldier out. That unconscious soldier was also a larger guy, and wearing all that kit was pushing 250lbs of dead weight. The medic draped the casualty over a shoulder and climbs back down the vehicle. Everyone was very impressed, especially with the one-armed dead life (maybe there is a joke in there, I don't know). The medic was a large guy, but he did jog a full marathon and finished at a very average time for a 20-something year old male.

[@beejeebeehee5964]

An antenna could do wide range health scan, call for pick-up of more seriously injured, receive long range call for medical help...all kinds of legit reasons. Making it more of a panel or dish would add to that reasoning.

Only she's made it geared more towards adults, and redesigning AI generations scraped from has become something I've seen others delve into and done here.
