#project 67(character)

A giant Hijaky about to have some fun with Project 67 while their friends(Dummy and Friendly-Dumb-Crow) looks up at them in slight embarrassment...

I admit the buildings' perspective doesn't look quite right, but since I had this lying around for quite some time and I just wanted to get it done, I thought such a minor thing wouldn't matter to me.

Yes, even as far back as 2013 I was considering doing GTS artwork of more gentle and icky-free nature. The only thing done of it was a single sketch or more. This is one of those sketches I decided to dig up again and finish.

I've been having on my mind for some time now, about a female raccoon character who appears to have a rather big interest in measuring the height of things. So I decided to finally create this new character.

Measurica's name basically comes from the words "measure", "measuring" etc. The name also came about due to her big, and sometimes quite invasive interest of measuring things around her against her own height. This strange interest of hers isn't really about being the biggest or smallest, but more so her own fascination for things of different sizes.

However, this interest of hers can also be a bother to those within her vicinity. Dumb-Crows often finds themselves subject to Measurica's measuring activities. My Project 67 character may even find himself being unwillingly measured by the spectacled raccoon girl, though not as frequently like the Dumb-Crows. The only few persons who would be more than willing to measure themselves against Measurica are Tailyna, Hijaky Tukira, and even Applelin.

Measurica's peculiar interest in measuring can also be the cause of rather funny or embarrassing situations. Although she means no harm or such to those around her, she is however a bit oblivious to the conflicts caused by her interest.

Measurica, besides her name, is a young raccoon girl with round, big spectacles, pink fur, blonde if not more yellow hair, blue eyes, and a blue shirt and pants. She often carries with her a long measuring tape which she uses to... well, measure the height of things or herself. In fact, she is sometimes also into measuring her own height. Her interest in measuring isn't without a purpose; she also carries with her a note block and a pen, and writes down the heights of all the things she's been measuring. She hopes to make a list of all possible height values, even if it's from the smallest grain of dust or particle, or the biggest thing on earth that might as well reach miles and miles up into the sky.

Besides all the above, there might be a possibility that by having created Measurica, that many of my older characters could well be revived again, at least for a bit of time maybe. But who knows though...

Apparently there's no moment of peace when Measurica's around, as Crowiolina has just discovered. The former was just thinking of something to measure, only problem is she sometimes gets too deep into her thinking that she doesn't even bother to take a look at what she's about to measure...

Just a little note regarding Measurica's height; She's intended to be a little shorter than all my other characters, because she's not yet an adult. I figure Measurica's age could be around 16-17, so a little below 18. Which of the ages I'm not yet sure of, but I'm sure I'll have her official age set eventually.

 Concept art time:

A piece of conceptual artwork showing the whole cast of characters for KazooaWare. The game was to be based on the first title in the WarioWare series, revisiting the settings of that game.

Kazooa the Seagull was going to be like how Wario usually is (greedy and all that). Frankie the Weasel (from Conker’s Bad Fur Day) was to be based on Jimmy T., rocking out at disco clubs and such, and his games would also revolve around sports. Crowiolina was to be like Mona, and her games would be quite weird in nature. Project 67 and Dummy’s set of microgames would be similar to Dribble and Spitz.

Tailyna and Applelin (called “Cherri” in the pic becuase the original name was still in use by then) were to be based on Kat and Ana, and their microgames would have been nature-based. For some reason they were later replaced with Lucy and Jasmine from the Lazy Lucy series, and their theme would have been “Lazy”(to what I can remember writing in the comments of the game’s GML code). Comparing this drawing with the characters that evenutally ended up making it into the early protoypes for KazooaWare, I now think the former duo (Tailyna and Applein) should have been kept alongside the newly added characters.

Kid Conker would have been based on 9-Volt, and his games would have been based on ones made by Rare(similar to how 9-Volt’s games are based on Nintendo games). I was at one point considering replacing the character with someone else, but was unable to come up with anything good before the project was put on hold anyway. Dr. Stock is basically a Wood-Stock, with a few changes to make him look a bit like Dr. Crygor, and like Dr. Crygor his games would be based around science. Weirdo, the last character of the entire cast, now redesigned to look a bit like Orbulon. His games would have been IQ-based. He even has his own little spaceship as seen in the above pic,

Character bios sketches(KazooaWare). I think the drawings says it all, so I don’t see any need to write anything about each of them.

One thing I should say though, is I didn’t have time to draw all the character bios, so this is pretty much all what was done.

After digging through one of my data backup isos, I found this fairly strange 3D model of my Project 67 character. Still not exactly what I was hoping to find, but at least it’s something.

The model itself is dated 21/04/2006 15:09, and along with it are 4 avi videos (as well as a .pov file possibly containing the animation itself) of the model’s “standing still” animation. Exactly what kind of project of mine this was going to be used for has basically been lost to time. This also shows that I wasn’t really using any textures at the time, but simply colored all parts of a model.

To be honest, I think the model looks a bit odd. Had I still been using 3D Canvas(or 3D Crafter) by now I suppose I would give this model a good facelift, and actually use textures wherever possible.
