Hello,

I always thought the characters in STK were lacking a bit of personnalilty.
Here's a few scketches I've made as a proposition for a new design of the characters.

I would like to have your suggestions about it.

I don't think this is possible to change the 3D model. I think they are currently very good.
For me the lack of personnality comes from the lack of voices and animations.

I LOVE your sketches :heart: this is so cool!
This Tux is the best imho, so funny and cute

You should try to do stuff for stk Stk if you want as you seems to know how to draw, but i don't really know what it could be.

Hi,

I think your sketches are funny, but it is not always clear how they can translate into a 3D kart. For instance puffy needs a kart, not a giant robot (sorry, this is not an open possibility!). Also, there are other considerations : gnu cannot be standing up on his kart, since tall-and-narrow karts have a strong tendency to topple over and just have poor physics otherwise

Hello,
I have no idea how the physics is calculated in STK. Can't the physics of the kart avoid taking the character inside the kart in consideration?
As for Puffy, I actually thought that the robot was the actual character. Maybe I'll post a drawing of my idea to get it clearer.
