Help me to settle on a face design for the character I've just added to my game, called The Humorless Toaster. (It's only here to make toast, not listen to your nonsense.)
I choose option 3
I agree. This is the best.
This is how I keep seeing option 1 where the longer line is a chin/fat roll 😅
I only see the mustache now
One is them is angry, the other is furherious
Number 2. Unless you firmly believe there's no such thing as bad publicity.
Toaster 1 looks like Hitler. Don't use toaster 1.
Counterpoint: toaster 1 looks like Hitler. Use toaster 1.
I think the second one. Assuming the middle bit is a nose, fewer details make for better deadpan toaster expression
2 for me. 1 took longer to parse.
Is the Toaster related to Hitler somehow? If not then the latter.
Nah. Hitler would be an oven.
No it's too wide. That is a J Jonah Jameson mustache if ever I done seen one.
still too close. the toaster has a wide face so proportionally it feels like a hitler mustache
I mean still the vague connection gives the character some meat
2, but make him look more indifferent and less angry I think.
😑
Like this?
Yep
Totally agree, 2nd face but I think straighten the eyebrows so he doesn't look mad
I can’t believe this isn’t a joke
The second. The nose-mustache of the first is confusing.
Der Humorless Toaster ist nicht hier fur dein scheisse!
NIEN!
Depending on what you're going for, 1 and give them a German accent. Otherwise 2.
Wasn't going for German that's for sure, although...

Definitely #1. But you can't ever make any reference to it looking like Big H in the game. Just make it so people say "... is that supposed to be Hitler?"
Thank you, yeah was going for more of a Ron Swanson, but now I totally see how people can see The Notorious H.I.T.
HIT? Hitler Is Toaster?
For anyone curious, the game I'm working on is kind of inspired by The Stanley Parable, and you can check it out on Steam, maybe even wishlist (it would help a lot) : https://store.steampowered.com/app/2336120/Do_Not_Press_The_Button_To_Delete_The_Multiverse/
2 for sure one has a confusing mouth-stache

Who let out 426?? I thought I was supposed to be in a windowless room!

Never heard of that site, but it was very interesting to learn about myself.
God that is I'm one terrifyingly upbeat SCP while still being very anomalous.
Edit: forgot to follow my theme (read my SCP entry to understand I guess)
1 has more character
Ever seen Red Dwarf? There was a talking toaster in that.
Yay talkie
Yes! I had forgotten his name! Haha wow, I need to go watch that show again, it's been a long time.
Option 3 googly eyes.
That's actually how you defeat him.
2nd one is cuter and funnier
2
Make the upper one more mustache-y by making the stache longer than the lips and bend it downwards on the outside.
Number 1 but the upper line is the mouth and the lower line is the chin.
#2 because it allows you to later give them a mustache (#1), which is funny but the toaster isn't amused.
What is the personality of the toaster?
One looks like your friend's dad when he comes home and finds everyone has not only left on all the lights in the house but have also left the fridge open
Other one looks like a guy in early 20s that is on a bus and some fucker is doom scrolling tiktok loud without headphones
I'd say they're both great but you gotta decide what kind of cranky toaster you're going with
#1 looks like JJ Jameson - You know, Peter Parker's boss?
Get it to the corners of the lips and thick, you got a Tom Selleck, just around the edge, you have a Ron Swanson, 2cm past, you're into Fu Manchu territory
I kinda like #1, but as the mustache being his mouth and the other kind being formed into crossed arms
What about a goatee?
Definitely 1 💯
I need more background. Does it make good toasts?
Needs: Eyes rolling and slight frown with face lines showing it's permanent.
Definitely option 3 listed below.
1 reminds me of Cartman (you could lean into that), 2 is more neutral and looks more angry
What's the first supposed to be, Adolf Toastler?
Good friend of Kettle Hitler
And they sit next to each other on the kitchen counter at Führer house
The house looks more like Jamie Hyneman with his barret to me.
Oh, man... sorry it's coming off like that. Since it's called the Humorless Toaster, the main inspiration is Ron Swanson. At least that's what I was going for...
Ah. I think the moustache needs to be wider for that. Also, a label might be in order. Ron Toasterson or something.
Yeah you got the mustache in that realm. I don't think it was intentional, but Hitler really did ruin the shortened mustache look.
Have you tried a design where it has a mustache for a mouth? As another lemming described, wider and wavy at the bottom. And then it can move up and down when it talks?
Edit: quick and dirty mockup. This would be my vote
Just slap on a brown cutout mustache
Upvote for Hitler. OP, I don't know if intended, but a certain German politician was the first thing coming to mind
The mustache is much too wide. I don't know why everyone sees Hitler.
Hitler's mustache was initially longer, however there was a decision to trim it. There are various theories as to why it was trimmed and shaped into the toothbrush as we recognise it for today.
😂
