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.)

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.

Agreed, wider and thicker with maybe a wavy/ ridge texture on the bottom half of the mustache and slight rounding/flaring on the sides that narrows to the top.

Feels like that's a good reference pic for OP.

Edit:

But I do prefer #2 more. Like others have said, it's simpler and easier to tell the expression.

It's the perfect pic, thank you. I admit I was working from memory

Mix the two and use a trapezoidal shape for the mouth, perhaps?

Keep the stasch and call the character "Der humorlose Toaster".

I want to start a fanfic rumor that Ron is related to Ricky from Trailer Park Boys. Lol

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

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.

How popular do you have to be to have people make theories about why you trimmed your moustache
