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, lower on the neck and slightly bigger to make it more comical
My issue is the disparity of the pictures, with the bowtie picture having the duck’s entire neck almost completely in shadow, while the shadow is comparatively minimized on the necktie image. It’d be nice to see both options under both light and dark conditions.
That said, I currently prefer the necktie; it provides an element to the rest of the body. I’m the bowtie picture, everything is happening around the head - beak, eyes, hat, bowtie - leaving the rest of the body comparatively empty.
I’m going to have to go with the bow tie, especially with the hat.
I really like the neck tie. Contrast feels stronger.
Thank you! Finally someone that likes the neck tie!
I like the necktie. I love neckties in real live.
Bowtie is still the clear winner for me and apparently the general opinion. But it is your duck, your opinion matters most.
Bow >> necktie
Thanks, guess I have to change it now
I like the bowtie better, but I feel it gets lost in the shadows of the duck head. So, I’m leaning towards the necktie, just for visibility sake. I wonder what embiggening both tie styles a bit would do.
I agree with this. The tie looks too business/professional. The bowtie has a certain charm. But it needs to be like “neon bus seat” design. You know the one I’m talking about. Or like water cups from the 90s.
Bow tie fits better.
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, it makes the ducks neck look a little less long and that’s more aesthetically pleasing to me, just one opinion.
I want a tall skinny duck with a long neck tie and a short fat duck with a wide bow tie.
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.
Bow tie. Needs a waistcoat.
Bowtie 100%
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!
Bowtie for the duck. Not for me though.
Thanks : )
