About my design

by chuck_harris
This is my first design so I hope you all enjoy it. What says "Old Skool" more than board games and pimps...lol!

Monopoly and pimps first of all don't really go together, and they aren't unique to the 80's (like, at all).

very clever and polished design. Monopoly is about getting rich, but it's innocent because it's a board game - the pimp represents tainted money, so he complicates that innocence. Good touch!

The pimp's shoes are very platform 70's style! And he reminds me of a cross betwix Elton John & George Michael!! I like it though :)

He kinda does look like the Macho Man now that you mention it. "Ohhh Yeaaaaa". Thanks for all of the comments you all!

Its a good idea, but the way the character is drawn bothers me a bit. i'd like to see the bottom of his shoe more on his left foot. and more of the top of the foot on his right. Also his torso is 3/4 and his legs are more profile. I dig the color scheme and his cane though! Good start!

I like the concept. It amused me. I actually don't really care for the coloring, and Shanimal makes some good points about the way the character is drawn. I think it needs to more directly imitate the Parker Brothers image. It feels like a completely different style and it shouldn't be.



There's nothing really 80's about the image, but I would almost certainly buy a new and improved version.
