Great looking, but don`t his legs look a bit small? Jackie Estacado... isn`t that The Darkness PS3 game? He has comics?

The legs just look small because that's the second last frame in his breathing animation. I'll put up the animated stance and some basics tomorrow...(The base was originally like that, I'll do some touch ups with it though...)
Also, yes. The game was based off and inspired by the comics.

Very cool, Mind if I try some touch ups too? I loved the game, didin`t know it was comic based thou.

I think I got it thanks =3
I need to re-kindle my self esteem after the screw up from earlier xD
(I could change him much more then this and make him better, but then it would be too hard to produce all the needed sprites...)

Beto · « **Reply #8 on:** September 11, 2009, 06:17:09 PM »

Wow, we need to give life to this char

It`s better to get him right the first time, than to re-do all 200+ sprites later (believe me

, it`s more than disheartening)

Thats why I'm still working on the stance =P
I'll upload thew full stance tomorrow, and a edit to show you the improvements in a moment...

Edit: Actually I think I'm going to change his legs completely...
Thanks though!

Very nice work here and awesome wip idea, we need more characters of this sort..seeing as I'm a fan of Image Comics. I had an idea for a Image Comics Mugen project at one time...Witchblade, The Darkness, Spawn..etc. Anyway, I hope it all goes well with this character...he won't be easy as he is such an unorthodox character. Hope you can work in his little minions somehow.

Worksa8 · « **Reply #12 on:** September 11, 2009, 06:37:24 PM »

Thanks Gargos, I've been wanting to see this guy in mugen as well.
Also, I have been working on his minion sprites, and I'm trying to make them...erm..."Different"
Based on that famous picture, I've been giving them baseball hats and bats and such xD

Also, I did a slight change to the sprite seen above, what do you think? Prefer 1 or 2?

(Groin shading is very hard, converting him from Carnage, also without adding any colors...)

Darkgargos · « **Reply #13 on:** September 11, 2009, 06:51:42 PM »

I kinda prefer 1 actually, the groin area in that one just looks better, but that's just me. Sweet! your going for the baseball hats and bats thing with the minions, just how they should be. I love those little guys

Worksa8 · « **Reply #14 on:** September 11, 2009, 07:15:32 PM »

Thanks Gargos. I think that's the way they should be too =3

Darkgargos · « **Reply #15 on:** September 11, 2009, 07:20:29 PM »

Your most welcome and we should thank you for trying to bring him to life, I hope this creation comes to fruition as it is something fresh and intriguing.

DoktorAvidan · « **Reply #16 on:** September 11, 2009, 08:16:46 PM »

At least you're making him look comic-accurate

that game was so god awful

Darkgargos · « **Reply #17 on:** September 11, 2009, 08:20:30 PM »

I agree, When it comes to these things it's always best to go the comic book styled route.

Worksa8 · « **Reply #18 on:** September 11, 2009, 09:04:05 PM »

But of course =P
I mean, it was based off the comics, so of course that says something right there. In the games defense though, I did like it, and it gave me some neat move ideas.

Darkgargos · « **Reply #19 on:** September 11, 2009, 09:08:04 PM »

Exactly, taking straight from the source and if the game gave you ideas, even better. Sometimes you do have to look outside comic resources for stuff..as seeing something in motion can give you a better understanding of how the character moves and what you think might work.

DARKTALBAIN · « **Reply #20 on:** September 12, 2009, 01:15:36 AM »

This version looks much better than the earlier one anyway

Worksa8 · « **Reply #21 on:** September 12, 2009, 09:04:19 AM »

Thanks, I thought so too xD
I wasn't sure if I could do the armor, but now I think I can pull it off...

Edit:
I got some more done with his tsance. I'm aware of the problems with it right now, but I don't think it's that bad considering I was working with a crouch sprite when I started xD
I intend to give him 12 frames of animation, he is standing at 7 right now. Things like his left and and such are being animated now...
(Also, to save time this was animated in a different program. in FF he doesn't bounce around like that

Darkgargos · « **Reply #22 on:** September 12, 2009, 12:49:34 PM »

Yeah..he is sort of all over the place in that animation, but still nice. I hope to see the finished stance animation to get a better idea of how he will look. I do like how his hair will flow, adds a nice touch.

Worksa8 · « **Reply #23 on:** September 12, 2009, 01:06:14 PM »

I thought the hair kinda added to the creepy type of look.

Also, Here is a light punch! I want him to have a left right left type of combo system.

And here you can see at the last frame it doesn't cut out, It's just not in FF yet.

My first time ever drawing a blur =P
All I could think upon seeing this was "GO TEAM GO! GO GO GO!"
Hehe, but I'll touch up his body in a little bit, to make it move with it xP

EDIT: Crap! Forgot to fix his hair xD
Gotta change that too...On the right side, it just magically flies up...I hate gravity... $\-/o$

Darkgargos · « **Reply #24 on:** September 12, 2009, 01:11:05 PM »

I like the jab, so your going for a combo oriented character? What's his play style going to be, MvC or something else?
