[Ununsed-Username]

....
Yay.

[Worksa8]

I'm hoping for coding progress =O

[esn23]

He wanted to give up on her but i decided to revamp all the sprites give her some more moves and some pe fx and as a matter of fact im working on her new port right now warecus has given me full creative rights i hope to have her first sprite up later today all my other wips except polaris and white queen are on hold

[warecus]

go head with ya bad self...

yeah he is going to do his thing and me and zvitor gave the go ahead.


but this doesn't scarlet witch is dead, she's still chug chug chuggin along

[esn23]

And trust scarlet witch looks awsome

[yosifun]

This is great news! I was wondering what happened to Polaris

I'm waiting for a first sprite to see what look she will have now, it's also great news to hear that Scarlet Witch is still in progress

Good luck

I know it's nothing exciting... Her stance will be slightly altered to where she is levitating but the rest will stay the same...  Anywho.. I need ideas for her hypers and specials.... all I see that she has so far is two beam attacks and and ariel beam.. her hypers are very basic as well..  I will particle illuison them... But here is what I was thinking.. Polaris's secondary mutation is to grow taller and she has super strengh.. She does this by feeding on negative emotions.. So Im thinking she can use this when someone is attacking the hell out of her she can use this mutation to make a counter attack where she punches them so hard they fly off the screen... Also when she was with apocolypse she could ingest different dieases and spread it at a massive level so I was thinking about having he make a green cloud that consumes the entire screen that graudually takes the health off of the opponet... Also I will have an attack where she throws a car at the opponet if i can find a car sprite...  Some magnetic bubble throws and specails.. Anything else you guys can think of would be great..  here is the first sprite

[daraku]

  not like her design

[esn23]

Oh well can't please everyone   And thats just to show off the new shading and colors being done to her...  She will have a new stance because that one is being taken XD...  So I should hopefully be able to post her stance up next week

[ZVitor]

good luck, 
nice colors

[trexrell44]

  I like where this is going keep up the good work !

[C.R.O.M. - ManoloStyle]

I like it. She is looking good. 

[esn23]

Thanks everyone i made slight color changes to her hair and added a yellow band to her leg and finished her stance i will modify more 2 morrow should have her stance and her final look on thurs oh what do you guys think of a hyper where she throws a car at the opponet and it explodes on them

[yosifun]

As for the sprite, I think the shading could be better (her green suit looks way better IMO).
Also, I think you need to better define the outlines of certain parts like the boots and gloves.
Just take some of the female Marvel characters as example, because right now she lacks a bit of "depth" if you know what I mean..

As for hypers and specials:
* Polaris Tempest (hyper)- she pulls and wears the Magneto helmet and does the "Magnetic Tempest" Magneto does but with other green effect.
* Magnetic Dagger (special) - got the idea from the picture below, you can get the sprites from Psylock:

* Magnetic Push (special) - just throws the opponent to the edge of the screen (like Hulk's HP):

* Polar Wave (special) - just a normal projectile, get it from either Magneto or Cyclops:

* (hyper) No name for this but this picture could get you inspired, maybe throwing the opponent multiple times across the screen:

* Magnetic Rage (hyper) - she flies in the air like in the picture with the glow and starts throwing all kind of things at the opponent:


I would suggest not bringing in other powers she had at one time and now she don't and focus mainly on her Magnetic power, but it's up to you.

[esn23]

Thank you for the ideas and cc her boots might be changed

[esn23]

At my good friend warecus's request I will post her stance up.. I took what a few of you said about her boots and such and made some changes to her.. Also I changed her uniform and hair a bit just to make her look a bit different from scarlet witch... I hope everyone enjoys

[TomBewley]

You need to make sure that you are not pillowshading Polaris. Her arms, legs and hair make her look very flat.

I did a very quick edit of her legs to show you one way that you could approach shading her

[DARKTALBAIN]

I have to agree with Dead-X. her hair looks like it has no texture anymore. Look at the sprite on the first page of this thread. It looks more realistic. Stick with the original look & just sprite more moves for her.

[daraku]

Ehy, Z666 made an excellent design of her using Werecus sprite. use that pls

[esn23]

I would but i changed it up because that design is being used for scarlet witch and warecus wanted me to change her as much as possible so she d6esnt  look like a clone of scartlet witch but as far as the hair i changed it again but no one can tell with just one animation what she will look like but i will release warecus old polaris with the complete polaris im doing for cvg sound good?   

[TomBewley]

I would recommend completely changing the hair to prevent it being too similar.
At the moment it is the same as Scarlet Witch, just green and flat.
Try using someone else's hair such as Storm



They are still too similar! Removing detail is not the way to go. You need to change the shape
Post Merge: January 23, 2010, 12:11:48 PMA very quick edit again to show how a simple hair change can make her look completely different! I used Gill's hair simply due to how it gives her a sense of power and it was the first long hair that popped into my mind



Using hair from one base makes it so much easier in the long run in terms of consistency and making animating so much less painful!

[yosifun]

I like the new uniform better but I think that if you want this character to look different than Scarlet Witch, you MUST change the stance (change the position of arms and legs..)

As for the shadowing, Dead-X got it right, before she looked really flat and now her legs look excellent.

Her hair looked better before IMO, but if you want a different hair again because of Scarlet Witch, just use Storm's or Rogue's - should be pretty to "Green" it up (but PLEASE not Gill's hair it's horrible).

Looking forward for the next update

[ZVitor]

if u want to make her different from SW stance, this is her stance:
-->
i tink i didnt posted around yet, another arm and correct chest place.

[♦ßlôödÑinjå♦]
