Ziddo is cool, and he’ll be the first to let everyone know just how much cooler he is than you.
Ziddo is cool, and he’ll be the first to let everyone know just how much cooler he is than you. He’s got it all: looks, charm, muscles, a smooth hairdo, and a sweet v-neck. When Ziddo enters a room, everyone’s eyes are drawn to him. He’s always bragging about his success with the ladies.
So then… why leave his home and jump on a refugee ship to cross the sea for the Eastern Continent when you’ve got it this good? Well, the refugees could use some eye candy, and so the entire world has a chance to bask in your glory, of course! Big fish needs a big pond!
Another early remake I did! First thing (after correcting his color palette) was to give him some more movement. Just moving the head wasn’t enough, of course, so I messed with his arms–for once, the arms didn’t give me trouble!
What did give me trouble this time was the clothes. Nothing I tried looked right… until I accidentally gave him a really wide neckline. I couldn’t stop giggling at how silly it looked, and so I pulled it down even farther until he had a deep v-neck. Inspired and amused by this stroke of luck, I finished off the sprite by decorating his belt so it didn’t look like he had a midriff.
At the beginning, I knew I wanted an egotistical bully-ish character that claimed credit for most of the things you did as a player. Once Ziddo’s sprite was done, I knew I’d found him. :D
