New 52 Aquaman

[Beto]

I recommend he use tridents all the time he does not have many powers out of the water

[Twinimage]

Thanks for all the support and feedback guys. I appreciate it.
I'm going to work on the get hits first. That will take me like a month, or maybe a really dedicated weekend to spriting. We'll see

Still undecided on whether to use trident always or not. In New 52, he is never without it. At the very least it should be behind his back or something. What do you guys think. Should he always have it in his hand or have it behind him like this: http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/13/138775/2735124-2544325_aquaman_zone__011.jpg

I think I will include a couple kicks in there, to add variety.

i read x-men since im 12, and i tink i never saw cyclops kicking

 

[warecus]

he should have some of the best kicks around since he spends most of his time swimming

Looks cool and it will be even cooler once you make the armor look like it has scales (you still plan on doing this yes?). As for the trident maybe use it for specials and hypers and ....a launcher or a kind of move that is a pushback or something?

[Twinimage]

I plan on adding the scales to his armor. At first I thought I would leave it as is, so he could have a shirtless palette, but I rather not sacrifice detail for a smart palette. The blue hand is enough of a smart palette for me.

Wow that looks great twin I hope you still make more chars you are really good at it

[mugenaddict34]

Yup, I agree most people here. Go on with the scales armor, surely it will look better. And for the spidey legs, I don't see aquaman jumping like spidey, didn't fit well with his fight style, I think.  Of course, it's just my opinion. Anyways, good job until now Twinimage Keep working good!

I'm working on get hits this weekend and probably will next weekend too.

Anyone have any idea how I could implement the scale armor look on his torso? I want it to look similar to this: http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c395/GonnaBurnInMyLight/JLABoR.gif
I was thinking maybe I could create a Photoshop brush and apply the brush to each color on the torso at a time.

talk to acey, he did it with cap for avsxmen

My attempt. I know it's not the best. You just have to think more about pixel placement.

I'll third the scale armor. New 52 Aquaman's been pretty good. Maybe we can see some of his companions, too!

[Twinimage]

@CROM: Thanks, that looks good. Did you do that by hand or in Photoshop? If you did it in Photoshop, would you mind sending me the PSD file?

@Snakebyte: I plan to add Mera in an intro/win pose and maybe include her in a hyper. Not sure about "the others".

On a different note: I've been looking through images of Aquaman and just noticed that he has blonde hair and black eyebrows?? So is that an Atlantean trait or does he dye/bleach his hair? O_O
He must be a Street Fighter Ken fan.

[HyperVoiceActing]

Must be a weird thing his artist is doing. It's like how Wonder Woman's a brunette with blue eyes even though the odds of that combo being together is rare

No man, I just did it by hand.

A preview of what's to come, from my Photoshop of get hits in progress.



The heads are turning out better than expected.
I'm probably going to frankensprite then add details like the belt and scale armor later.

[ZVitor]

man.... legs size are not cool, torso are bigger then his legs.
i tink you should try cyclops legs.

[Twinimage]

I can resize them if need be. Are they too thin or too short or both?

[HyperVoiceActing]

Are you heavily editing Cable's head? Or is it a different head?

[Twinimage]

I'm going all "Silence of the Lambs" on several different heads, like Cable and Cyclops.Taking different pieces and putting them together. Cable has good hair though.

Been resizing the legs and considering other bases that would be a quick edit. It's annoying because all I really need is the bottom half of legs. The thighs are from the same base as the torso is from.

How do you do that?it looks VERY time consuming

It was. You just have to make a grid thingy with the shading. Pretty simple, but takes a while.

Since Twin asked me to show him how I went about doing the chain mail (and others are curious, as well), here's a quick tutorial I made for it.

Get hits are almost done! They went faster than I thought.
Still working on the legs. For some reason, I always have trouble with legs when frankenspriting.
Still need to sprite when he hits the ground and gets back up. Still need to add the belt. Not looking forward to that.

Tried adding the scale armor after getting three different tutorials for it.
It turned out perfect and quick! It's something I can add at the end after I've finished a batch of sprites.

What do you guys think? Are the legs the right size now?

Good? Bad? Meh???
