ok i received this one:


what do u exactly want to edit ?

[A!]

i want you to edit his legs and head or show me what to do because its suppose to be the violent ken stance

EDIT: i think it need to be rotated so it looks like hes stance and not look like hes been hit

wow! did u do that snk gill? it looks great! you did the exact step: add color gradation.also add muscular lines in the right places, and enlight every muscle surface.
let me say u sir, u did an excellent work.
for improve the coloring theres no much to do, u respected snk style: dark the limitrophy lines, and then gradation to light in a mid-hi contrast. the size..i think u should make him a little "bigger".
Gill is a perfect body. tall and big. u shoul try to mantain that aspect of him..
so at least, leave him at the same size as Sagat in svc. i post a comparative, also with an example of a palette a liiiitle more contrasted, so he can looks more "musculaer tuned" (look at sagat´s aspect )
for resising i recomend u to use the "free transform tool" of photoshop. so u can see, and have total control over the scaling, pixel by pixel.

other than that, your Gill looks so awesome!! keep it up!

[A!]

its not his its a character

[rbbt780]

wait that snk gill is a char

i want you to edit his legs and head or show me what to do because its suppose to be the violent ken stance

EDIT: i think it need to be rotated so it looks like hes stance and not look like hes been hit

OK.. here what i think more convenient to u is that u start by a fankensprite of ken that makes the base of the stance, and then, starting of that, clean it, full holes, and add finishes.
here i put u a frankensprited violent stance base:


good luck! i hope this example to be useful! u can use it  as scratch base if u want.

[Marancv]

wait that snk gill is a char

i think tupac thinked i dont know Gill is a char (c´mon..)?

because as far as i know theres no SNK Gill. ynn3k WANTS to DO one..

[rbbt780]

oh well i hope he decides to make one that sprite kicks butt

with all due respect the snk gill sprite is efex's not mine... however i want to make a full character  with it. thats why i asked for advice to resize and color all the sf3 gill sprites... efex's snk sprite edits are amazing just look at some of these



i've tried contacting him for help but he hasn't been online for awhile... 

[Marancv]

well. then theres what u have to do : add color gradation: capcom uses from 2 to 3 colours generally for skin. snk from 4 to 5.
check the gills u posted. then, adding light to all principal muscles, they look more "balloned".
u can start with that!

EDIT: can you help me with the animation? i made the sprite

[Luis/Dshiznet]

Well ive always wanted to make a pots edit, so i was thinking if i had some ppl that could help me, i could make a evil sakura.
i need an idea for a base tho
tips?

[Marancv]

mm. maybe an idea for the stance?
btw i think PotS is already working on sakura's evil side..

i'm afraid to do something like that takes much much more then resizing. also efex most likely doesnt use hotmail too often but he does visit prime central station http://z4.invisionfree.com/PrimeCentralStation/index.php

theres also a tutorial on converting one style to another but the sprite section requires some posting before visiting i think. *i been there a good while so i dont remember*
