Yeah, I agree. And she's a bit old here I think. When Bobby Prince mentioned her in "You've Got to Eat your Vegetables", she acted very young (and was supposed to have a very high voice). :disguised

Anybody up for a Galaxy mod? From the timestamps I can tell that that was a Vorticons mod, but now we have the software to do it!

EDIT: no longer another CKCM

If I could be of any assistance, I'm in! I can help design levels and sprites, but I'm useless for patches and music. :)

Since you've all unanimously voted me as the project coordinator, I accept! Whoever wants to jump in, can. Gargapplesauce, you're welcome. I think I'll work on some music and maybe a few sprites. We have far more talented artists than me (and better musicians, but I called it first! :O)

No, really, whoever wants to do this can speak up.

Perhaps Becky is the second-generation Commander Keen. Billy would propably retire as he reaches teenage and pass the mantle to Becky (who's been secretly admiring Keen the whole time).

What if Becky simply dons her older brother's football helmet that he left behind when he went to super-advanced university? And when I say "older brother" I'm referring to Billy. He would surely have grown out of Commander Keen by then.

It'd be kinda freaky if Billy and his brother went to college together but I can totally see that happening. Then again Billy is Ivy League material and we don't know anything about his older brother's age or academic achievements.

Sorry I haven't posted in ages, guys. I'll see if I still have it laying around.

Hah, like a human university would be able to keep up with Billy's intelligence. I imagine he'd be travelling off-world to study super-advanced subjects on other planets where they can actually teach him stuff.

Also, here's a female Keen I did about 3 years ago (funnily enough, entered for the same pixel art contest as the other female Keen posted in this thread)

IIRC that was made by some other artist.

I believe I saw the titlescreen Spleen's talking about in allstories' Keen1 mod preview menu.

EDIT:

Found the mod in my hard disk. It's the first preview pic.
Screenshot: http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r176 ... 6/mod1.png

The mod in question (the Last Moon) sure is available somewhere for download still? If it isn't the case I can upload a zip to my website.


two things
1-shadow master, i never expected to find another chilean keen fan :O
that`s good

2. have you noticed... the guy who made this screen put too many effort in her breasts, that what i hate from some designers example: raneman and glowei from Blizzard, they have a fanatical tendency to make draws who show their lack of relationship with females (i must admit i dont have relationship with females thanks to a high school trauma, but i dont show this on my draws, you know just tryng to keep dignity (asi se escribe dignidad?))
by the way the other screen, uploaded by allstories is far better, shows becky as her own character , but stils keep the legacy from billy, something like that.... :dead

I don't like how some of these artists sexualized the character.

Keen's sister is assumed to be very immature and naive judging from her behavior in the vegetables song. I would have assumed 5-6 years old, and definitely not an adventurous genius that wears her older brother's football helmet and saves the universe like Keen.

How does drawing women with breasts show a lack of female relationships? Don't all girls have breasts? :crazy
But Keen's sister is supposed to be 4-5 years old so... [insert end of sentence here]
Honestly, I didn't even notice the small shirt creases implying bosoms until you pointed it out. She looks fairly flat-chested to me, which she should be. There's definately a lot of attention being drawn to her bare legs though :wormouth :pig :|
