Darkwing Duck WIP

[LameLikeMike]

sorry i know i've been posting a lot(like every step of the way) but since im inexperienced i feel safer with people who have created before looking over my shoulder, i hope you guys continue to be so helpful.
anyway.

i like the animation but i'm on the fence about the pose overall, it seems that he might not be able to fight from this crouch position

any input??? i plan to try some attack sprites out of this pose in the next couple days, but if you think its not workin well as a crouch tell me before i put in the time.

from now on i'll try and get at least 3 or 4 things to this stage of completion (which i don't consider finished) before showing. thnx

About the rope, it looks as if the rope for scruffy's spiderman for his throw and swing are on the same sprites as spiderman. They just have a fixed lenght away from the body. Ide suggest you look how meny pixils away it is for spidey from his hand and do that for dw's gun and rope.


For the ducking, you could have his feet come out under the cape, maybe pull of an uppercut with his gun, like smacking someone with it, and attacking with lhis fist holding the cape as he strikes.

i assumed i would do the swing with everything in the same sprite, i'm wondering about how the rope length will work in a scorpion spear type move.

I'm pretty sure scorpion is in a seperate sprite & it's all in the coding how it goes . Sprite it seperatly then when you are ready to have the character coded , If it needs to be put in the same sprite it will be easier to do that than take it out of them .

Sorry as an infinity faithful I have to say this .......

lolz nyce sh*t bro" Or "omfg best shyt evaaaa

Don't take offense , is just a joke that's running around this forum .

Anyway back to being serious .

You are making great progress in a couple of days working . The crouch looks great , but it may seem to be quite complicated for him to do moves from that position . So what I think would be cool is you keep that animation because it is great . But just use it as a move where he ducks under projectiles . Your coder will be able to do that . Just like I am going to have a move with Medieval Spawn where he absorbs projectiles .

Just an idea .

Anyway keep up the great work .

I was watching the show,(i found a user on youtube with a full collection of episodes)
and i started sketching a little bit for hyper portraits.   comments??

the one on the left is better, i think but i like how angry the eyes feel on the right

for full size jpegs

i forgot to rotate the full size 2, but i don't like it too much  and it not much better quality so i won't bother

[Sasuke-kun]

Both are good but I think I like a little bit more the first pic.

-----New Crouch-----


still some anim tweaking on the hate and maybe a few other places, but what do you think of the new easier to attack from pose.

[PBRTODD101]

it looks a lot better now

[laspacho]

I like the looks of Darkwing Duck.  I like the first port you made the most.

[DARKTALBAIN]

Much more versatile now 

[LameLikeMike]

real quick, take a look at what i planned on being my crouch block.

after a simple test of the block, i realize that its is more of a dodge as it is now and plan to use this anim for something else, most likely the hyper i talked a bit about earlier.

-hyper plan-
Some of the super villains from the show will make an attack at DW but using this anim (or one like it) he will dodge their attack and they will in turn hit dw's enemy.  this is the only hyper i am certain about because it lets me get in some of the awesome characters from the show that otherwise would still be left out of mugen, and the only one who's progress i will update on this thread, because i don't wanna ruin all the surprises

[Mugen Toons]

AWESOME I like the style 

[warner]

Yes!
This char promise to much.  I like it.
Good Luck.

I would maybe add more frames with the dodge . He goes from crouching to laying flat on his stomach without any transition sprites

thanks, yeah i was gonna put more into it but then realized it wasn't what i was going for at the time, and stopped working on it.

here is a new block which im still gonna change a bit

and to keep from getting bored with dw, i decided to work on the hyper a bit, this is an early sprite of Megavolt

[fer619]

wow  , this sprite looks awesome! it looks well done. keep it up

The block looks good besides the flicker . I figure that's just in this gif .

Megavolt looks incredible !!! Was he done from scratch ?

[Theendgamelv3]

Will Launch Pad be involved in anyway with your DWD?

yeah i haven't made  a proper "out of block" sprite yet.  and the megavolt is from scratch looking at a pic, i changed some angles to make him more angry looking, in the pic he had his arm in the air like he was yelling charge or something, but i didn't trace it and it started out as a blank canvas, if thats what your asking.

Will Launch Pad be involved in anyway with your DWD?

without a doubt launchpad will be included in some form.  I was thinking as a striker, but honestly im such a noob i still don't know exactly how they work.(anyone know of good tuts, or want to write one hehe)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
some ideas i had about including LP

he will be in an intro that i am planning that is currently not going to be discussed here unless someone else brings it up.(it is an obvious intro because it happens at least once in every episode and includes DW and LP)

also i would like to incorporate LP flying backwards either in the his personal bi-plane or in the thunderquack

and if you're wondering DWs rival superhero from duckberg(duck tales) should also be making an appearance

Awsome! I love Gizmo duck. Will any of the other Justice Ducks appear?

[.Batzarro.]

Megavolt looks great (along with all the other DWD anims). You're working pretty fast, just hope you get by the "get hit" sprites as those are a bore to do. Hoping to see appearances by Quackerjack and the Liquidator too as those guys were awesome. Much , man.

yeah the get hit anims are the reason im working on that hyper, those are fast approaching and i know i might have to make a couple trys at the get hit anims because

1 they aren't just simple edits of already made sprites
2 i wanna do them really well because dw has a very cartoonish way of taking damage in the show and i want to emulate that

oh and consider Quackerjack Liquidator and Dr. Bushroot "in the works"

i don't currently plan on it, but i have been watching the show and when i get to those episodes i may change my mind.
if you feel like its a necessary addition, say the word and i'll try to fit them in somewhere

Awesome news. Don't forget Dr. Banana Brain for Quackerjack.  Will definitely keep checking back on this thread.
