See inside to access the 'Erny-Stickman Base (Burg)' sprite (as well as two bonuses), and if you want to use it for your characters, just backpack and export it! To make characters out of them... 1) Choose which of the six variants you'll use for your character: all the variants are the possible combinations of three weights (Slim, Average and Plump) and two clothing-styles (Rounded and Loose). 2) Paste all of that base's angles into a new sprite. -- If your character has assymetrical designs and you don't want them to be mirrored, you might want to give them a full 8 angles for more accuracy, rather than just 5 that can be mirrored. 3) Design your character! Some extra assets in the base sprite contain some extra facial features & accessories which you can use in your design. (more extra features could be added in future...) -- In the Ernyverse, the characters have monochrome skin, hairstyles of many natural & unnatural colours and shapes, shoes represented just by recoloured feet, and most have their torso completely covered by a shirt, jacket, dress or other topwear, with the 'legwear' underneath. 4) Rename the sprite to the character's name, optionally adding on the name of the character base: [Erny-Stickman] 5) Backpack or export the sprite for later use. Don't forget to give credit to @Burgnew_On_A_Laptop, for the original character base and JJ for the original series Feel free to get creative with these bases and do whatever you want! Why not rescale one of the existing bases to change it's height, width, or clothing style? Or add new body parts such as noses, ears, or animal tails? On the topic of that last one, it doesn't always have to depict 'humans' or even Ernyverse stickmen in general - anthro animals, aliens, robots and more can work with it! It's a very flexible base, and I hope you all get the most out of it, for both ERNY characters and otherwise.
As you all should know by now from July's announcement ( https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/710647134/ ), the ERNY reboot brings along fast a bulbously new, slightly-more-complex design for the resident stickmen. And while a vectorized version of it has been seen as soon as early May, that prototype-design has now been revised... into a full-on character base, complete with six different variants for different body-types and clothes! The ERNY reboot's really gonna make it's presence on Scratch known now that the characters can be easily vectorized for whenever they're needed. This is also the first on the list of many small projects I plan to make during August, most of which are character vectors like this one. Look forward to those in the coming days. This version of the character-base was started on the 2nd August 2022 and finished on the 3rd August 2022, while the project was completed and shared on the 7th. The last three days were mostly dedicated to making the opening animation, and overall, while it may only last 15 seconds, I'd say I did BRILLIANTLY, considering it was with a character style I'd never regularly use again. Hoping to make stuff of similar high quality with this new style in the coming days! Credit to all, especially JJ for being the original creator of the ERNY series, and Nintendo's Kazumi Totaka for being the original composer of the ending music!
