He looks like Patrick Moore.

I think that's the point.

Yeah, leave it like that, but maybe make it look more like a hologram. That thing's hilarious!

[18:00] <Tiki> er, the new outlines suck
[18:00] <Tiki> but
[18:00] <Tiki> other than that
[18:01] <pcj> the syringe shouldn't be a hologram
[18:01] <Tiki> oh
[18:01] <Tiki> I remembered not to do the white stuff around it

[18:01] <Tiki> other than that
[18:01] <Tiki> and a few missing lines on the face
[18:02] <Tiki> and general shakiness
[18:02] <pcj> yeh
[18:02] <Tiki> and the picture itself

Maybe we could play on McCoy's "Bones" nickname...like Doctor No-Bones or something better.

is it possible to make it look good?

Post by **pcj** » Tue Dec 13, 2005 6:56 pm

Well, maybe...But the idea was to have him a bit distorted.

Also, I think it might be wiser to have an original Patrick Moore-ish face. We're also in the grey area in terms of the law, so I don't think we want somebody getting pissed because we're using his likeness.

Uh...Actually, Paramount doesn't really care about fan-works and parodies. It just says they're non-canon and leaves it at that.

See http://www.starwreck.com for details.

P.S. It's actually DeForest Kelley in that picture, not Patrick Moore.

but its still possible to make it look distorted without it looking like it was drawn using your teeth

Well, the sketch was originally a quick joke I whipped up in MS Paint, and then pcj suggested that we could use it as an actual game sprite, to have the character as a badly-drawn hologram, as the hologram is meant to be merely a makeshift artificial means to convey the doctor's essence, as he originates from a species of parallel dimension beings who have no visual form like what we're used to.

So, in short: he was projected into this universe with some cheap equipment and his visual form was created by some parallel universe equivalent of a scientist with bad drawing skills

Of course, you're quite welcome to make a sketch of your own interpretation of the character, as the background story for this is slightly dodgy anyway

well if the doctor doesnt move around much, you could make his face appear on a triangular hologram thing like from "MST3K the movie". i dunno if you know what im talking about though
