So, how does everyone like the concept sketches of Jim seen on the new IPLY site? The Vault - Fallout Wiki * Fallout Online * Fallout IRC Channel * Fallout: New Vegas

I think I'm lost here. Where are these new sketches? The only thing I see is in the front page, with the "version 1" and all that, but nothing more. In the EWJ page there're only the old games.

Yeah, I'm talking about that teaser image with "Version 1". Even if not final, these sketches probably do show a bit of where Doug is going with the character. The Vault - Fallout Wiki * Fallout Online * Fallout IRC Channel * Fallout: New Vegas

I like them, they get the Jim feeling all right. A very expressive and funny face. The young Jim is hilarious.

But I don't think his brain is an actual peanut, sorry : D

Well, Doug is the original creator of Jim, so it's his call. On the other hand, so was Lucas of Star Wars. Are peanuts the new midichlorians? The Vault - Fallout Wiki * Fallout Online * Fallout IRC Channel * Fallout: New Vegas

That could easily be a new internet meme.

Jim looks (as he would put it) GAH-ROOVY!!! XD

I'm a big Earthworm Jim fan and of course I love the original Jim's design. But new examples looks great!
Giant Jim and #1 looks like characters from TenNapel's comicbook called "Gear" and "Li'l Jim" looks like the Southpark character. Very funny.
And of course, "peanut brain" joke is awesome! Sorry for my bad english. I'm just belarussian EWJ fan.

I think it's looking just fine.

More than fine actually...can't wait to see more. Rocket Worm! Earthworm Jim fan site.

I think Jim's new look is cool - Although is does say on the sketch that he wants Jims pupils to be black.

I sure hope he doesn't change that, I always liked Jim having 2 different-sized, different-coloured eyes because it made him look kind of crazy.

I don't know, I guess I don't want him to change too much from the giant earthworm in a super-suit we all know and love!

And, yeah, Jim still have backpack! This is good! Maybe this means that our good old pal Snott is not deleted from the story. I love that funny green booger!

Its great to see friends from Doug's forum. Yeah it looks awesome. Still...this is the first version. We can expect better versions I'm sure.

Hopefully, Doug himself will also come here from time to time. The Vault - Fallout Wiki * Fallout Online * Fallout IRC Channel * Fallout: New Vegas

Yeah, he said he would. Rocket Worm! Earthworm Jim fan site.

Jim's new head reminds me of Waffle from GEAR

The book not the animated series.

Yeah, I see a couple of the TenNapel homies have shown up here.

Love the new look of Jim.

Where are the pictures? Can someoen link me?

I know this game very much for a long time, I have already grown... time has passed... But I often like to play in EWJ1, is rare in EWJ2 and never in EWJ3.

Doug's and Lemm's art's are excellent, the most important thing - not to spoil their drawing and animation in game.

I think it'll take some getting used to by everyone. We've been used to the same Jim for years. And now this modified is version thrown at us.

This is going to be weird for all Jim fans because this is going to be the game that should have come first if you really think about it. Jim is finally getting a story. Jim's actions are finally going to be motivated. There is going to be more plot than "rescue the princess".

I'll admit that I'm only disappointed to see the cartoon effect put in place. Personally I think the fact that all the wackyness of Jim's world was great because it was taken seriously in a way. Almost realistic somehow. A worm, in a super suit, drawn and shaded realistically. It just added a new strange layer to all of his awesomeness.

I have total faith in Doug to make a superb story/design/etc, but no matter what anyone thinks, we're all going to be thrown for a loop by what ever he creates.

I think a better question at this point is how Jim and his world are going to be represented in a gaming environment. Mostly because of his new cartoon look and his new mouth that comes off of his face now.

So 3D, or hand drawn animation? (More than likely the first. Sadly.)

BTW, does anyone think that the band Primus should be contacted to do the music? I think the new EWJ game should retain some of that psycho-red neck vibe to it. Andy Asteroids meets Wynona's Big Brown Beaver?

I think new designs are interesting, but I like his first look the best! I personally thought the Clay Fighter look was the best. Although...I recall Jim having a couple brains (all of which did nothing) in the animated series...Oh well, you can never tell what is going though Jim's head, can ya?
