02 Glottis - Grim Fandango
Other Entries: [link]

Number2 is everyone's favorite demonic greasemonkey Glottis from Grim Fandango! I heart this game so big the heart has like three layers of color and breaks that little frame around it like in the Chuck Jones Grinch cartoon. I'd say Grim was the kind of game that a company makes once a lifetime... but Character 1 was from Psychonauts so I've got tangible proof that Shafer's games are just that good by nature without any divine intervention.

Glottis is not easy to draw. He's got such strange proportions especially in his face (his eyes are set so far forward that you feel like you've pushed it too far when you know you haven't pushed it far enough). I chose to put him in his Year02 outfit because its so suave, even if he would rather be covered in engine grease.

I had a hard time picking Glottis over Manny at first, but I grew to realize that I love Glottis for so many reasons that I'd be lying if I denied he was my favorite character. He's so cute.

I love Glottis because he's simple but not a simpleton. He was created with one passion, one purpose, and one desire - Cars. Driving them, fixing them, pimping the crap out of them. As long as he's doing the job he was made for, he's a happy guy. His passion makes him seem childlike, but the fact is he knows more about the world that created him than any of the human souls that traverse it. Plus he's a radically brilliant mechanical genius. I also like that Glottis has an obsessive personality. He never does anything "small", which includes his size, his sense of design, his relationship with alcohol, his self-confidence and his friendship with Manny. He's an extremely passionate guy and I think that's just adorable, even when he's drunk off his rocker.
