So I’m re-doing some of my Do Not Press The Button (Or You’ll Delete The Multiverse) character models and I have this duck that is kind of inspired by the Companion Cube in Portal. I want to make it as appealing as possible so the players will attach to it and carry it around with them. Which looks better! I’m more partial to the neck tie (because I like wearing them) but what do you guys think?
(If you want to follow how development of the game is going, a simple wishlist on Steam will be well appreciated STEAM )
Bow tie, but lower on the neck. Very dapper :)
(Also, in the future maybe post identical bodies/relation to background. There might be some subconscious preference occurring based on subject’s proximity to viewer or foot appearance.)
Yeah, both ties are too high, definitely prefer the bow tie though.
Bowtie
Bowtie, but make it a little bit smaller.
I would say make the colors brighter, the size looks perfect to me.
It looks too high up to me, maybe a little to large. It’s definitely too close to it’s bill.
I second small bowtie!
Bow tie 100%
Have the narrator ask the player to choose
Bow tie, lower on the neck and slightly bigger to make it more comical
Both and each time you look away it swaps!
The necktie needs a line of horizontal stitching along the chest as it puts a lot of vertical focus on the duck. The bowtie balances out the vertical stitching with its horizontal orientation.
Also/alternatively a vertical seam up the neckline might help with the neck being noisy with the stitch and tie.
Neck tie, but I’d love to see it comically long or at least more proportional and realistically sized. Right now it just doesn’t take up enough space, in my opinion.
That being said, if we’re “stuck” with these two options exactly as they are, the bow tie works better because it’s a more fitting size and better proportions. For me, it makes the design a little unbalanced with too much going on above the neck, too little going on below. Coincidentally, if you made it comically small, that might actually work out better, but I’d have to see it before I could be certain. However, that’s a fairly minor drawback.
Bow tie, and also add a monocle.
Bow tie for sure.
Bowties have been out of fashion for so long they just look silly most of the time. That seems like exactly what you’d want for a character who’s supposed to be whimsical.
Also a necktie doesn’t go with a tophat. For reasons I can’t explain, that kind of incongruity looks more accidental than it does whimsical.

Bow tie fits better.
Neck tie, gives the bottom half some color
Bow tie but it seems a little too high on the duck’s neck imo, should be moved down closer to the body a smidge
