C+C and ideas welcome.

Good Luck aPoC

Ok im gonna start listing ideas, and hope i dont get ninja'ed with the idea while typing it.

Ok so because of a secondary mutation, he can apprently heal as long as he has his organic wings.
And i read at one point his organics were riped out and the metal ones grew back and he eventualy devloped the ability to swich between them.
A metal wing mode would be nice for like a hyper that lasts for a short time, and durring that you can have attacks like the razor wing projectiles or a maximum spider type move that rams them with the sharp metal wings...

Clasic costume intro perhaps?


Speaking of clasic costume, he had some sort of weapon on the cover of the first X-men comic, looks like a bazooka or a staf weapon..

How about an intro where he defeetes one of the werewolf type mutants?

Remeber Charizards Seismic Toss from the anime? Check the video at 2:08, that would be a great hyper grab type move.


Seeing as how his wings can break a normal man's bones, it would be great to see them used for the hard punch moves.

How about a special intro VS Apocalypse, or anything else made by you, seing as how your Apocalypse and in the cartoon he was obsessed with killing you .

[moonmaster1]

I always thought he was originally called angel and then became archangel after he got his metal wings from apocalypse. no harm no foul I suppose, its easy to get the two mixed up as he changed his name when he changed his suit *or forced to change it anyways*

I really like the wings, very well animated. again I'll be watching this wip very closely. 

[ItalianStallion]

Glad you finally decided to make it an official WIP. Good luck on Archangel man.

[Sub-Zero]

i think archangel should be transeformation or superduper

or maybe have "death" be his super move

[darkmoon766]

He looks great!!

Possibly think about a palette separation for his forehead and ears for alternate costume?

[George Costanza]

my fave Character Creator <3 =

Apoc

[Excursion]

Awesome work aPoC. You've become a true inspiration and your work will inspire many 

[Nilakantha]

He looks very nice.  I hope this helps, but I think he show have a lot of grappling and throw moves since he has strong aerial manuevers.

[Sabaki]

I like SpiderMew's ideas

theres are some good ideas but i would like to see an intro jus like that pic u posted like him picking up a lil girl savingher and ppl tryin to hurt him that would be win

[KatMan]

WHOA another wingie

behold the heaven sent warrior to obliterate all evil 

nice work on him, though i cant think of how he can fight, ive never read of comics about him, the only time i saw him was on the X-men movie and some comics that i saw arch angel..so i dunno how he actually fights
good luck!

[aristotle]

maybe a winning animation where he falls to his knees in agony, and apocalypse appears behind him.

[yosifun]

Amazing work!
I was looking forward to this WIP, especially after Hawkman was started.

Few suggestions:
* Angel looks a bit small, he is 6'0 and Punisher is 6'1 and the difference of the height in the screen seems a lot bigger.
* A palette separation for his forehead and ears like darkmoon766 suggested is a great idea, especially due to Angel's alternate costumes as Death (classic dark blue and pink and black and gray).
* Try to use a mix of the light blue in your picture of Archangel as Death and gray for a better effect on the metallic wings.

Good luck

oOoO and just for kicks, I'll have it be my "Necktie apocalypse", as a creator perk. Mos def, gunna have to incorporate a little bit of myself in this character.

the alternative "headband" option I originally had plans for, Acey was kind enough as to make new faces for me and once I got the face template, I just when to work and did bother adding it. I don't suppose it's something that i can't go back and do tho. As for the wing color I tryed capturing that idea, tho I'm no pallette artist or anything. 

He looks very nice. I hope this helps, but I think he show have a lot of grappling and throw moves since he has strong aerial manuevers.

Right, I'll be sure to tackle that department.

:+:Taking Notes:+:

good stuff, I'm sure it would be hard at all making a separate fighting mode for a hyper. I'll see what I can do.

Awesome work aPoC. You've become a true inspiration and your work will inspire many&nbsp;

   

-"aPoC."

[yosifun]

I really dig the new head with the "headband" and this hair style 

I hope you will take my suggestion for making Angel a bit taller.

As for palettes, I hope I could help you out when you get to this stage.

[Spidermew]

Im glad you liked (and others liked) my suggestions 

[laspacho]

The sprite work looks amazing Apoc.  I always hoped someone would make Angel one day.   

[Nilakantha]

I think Morrigan's throw that brings her opponant in the air and then slams them could be a good one.  Though Archangel could be a special and it can move much faster.

[tremainekr]

maybe the apocalypes marvel character isnt such a bad guy. maybe angel can move to the top left corner then transform to his evil form(that could be one sprite) and apoc can do his drill hyper

use the one evil sprite and he commands one of the&nbsp; four horseman can be used as regular moves just like capitan commando and his team and he turn back into his human form.

in the x-men movie he was rich,the tv show he was a movie star....the point im trying to make is maybe he throw out pictures like dan while fighting or win pose of a autograph pic like johnny cage from mortal kombat.

[Z999]

Finally we can see an angel coming someday ^^ He looks great, even more with the headband 
An archangel (blue skin with blue/pink outfit and metallic wings) is a must have for this char. Another one you could have is him beating a little his opponent with some comboing, grappling him and taking him in the sky (by adding a genering sky background in the character for this move) and finally throwing him down violently in the direction of the ground.

Anyway keep up the good work 

[Alexziq]

Great Wip,

Being an old timer I hated Angel when he was a Ken Doll with Wings. Archangel was an amazing resurrection of the character. Hopefully he'll have a few attacks as Archangel otherwise Hawkman would murder him 6 ways till Sunday, and back again. Warrens head would look like a canoe.

ANOTHER GREAT WIP MY FRIEND 

[aristotle]

maybe an intro where he's wearing a suit, and his wings unleash and the suit is torn off.
