New 52 Aquaman

[trexrell44]

Cool i thought he was a bit short great design though. Think you captured his face pretty darn good. My edit may be a lil tall though .

[AncientBehemoth999]

Hi twin, really intriguing wip you started! I liked the New 52 comic, and Aquaman is the right choice out of all N52 roster.. really nice!

Belt isn't perfect. If anyone wants to try to improve the belt, give it a try. I am aiming though for the New 52 style belt. I may try to make his orange armor look like it has scales. Will need to find a quick way to do that. Maybe there's something in Photoshop I can do.

About the belt, when i'll have a bit of freetime (here now is deep night, tomorrow i've work) i'd like to move a bit on the right (from my viewpoint), it isn't well centered. About scales, i used a little trick on an edit of mine, a cvs styled monster (a merman!) so if you want i'll post it here as reference.. and if you want to use ps for some filters..
ps: i've found an Aquaman pic for as hint about the "trick":

Anyone know where I can find water effects and sprites? I'll be needing some of that.

For waves (the classic ones), you can find them on DarkStalkers' Rikuo\Aulbath character. Nice other water effects are on Samurai Shodown III' Sogetsu Kazama. I still should have a good water effect compilation, tomorrow i'll search it 

About legs, like trexrell i had some doubts about proportions, because seeing the arms and the legs, the legs looked a bit short (seeing a guy body proportions in a lying position, the hands fall only a bit over the groin area  ...in your edit, the hands catch the knees ).. But seeing as the community looks the legs in a positive way, i'll defer it  (for now hihihi)

Keep it up my friend, i'm eager to see new awesomeness

@AncientBehemoth999: Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate it. I've been working on the belt a bit. I also noticed the buckle not being centered quite right. The legs, I keep making taller, so don't go by what you have seen on this forum. I'm continually working on the legs to not make him too short.

Thank you for the references to water effects. I have a sprite sheet of Rikuo and will look for Sogetsu Kazama.

Nice WIP
Good luck

  Take a look at this guy from Jojo's Bizarre Adventures. His name is Ndol. He has a lot of water movements, or could be edited like that. Don't know if they could fit well with Aquaman but anyways, here is the stuff. Hope it could help you in some way.

[Twinimage]

Dude, that's awesome! I can use this. I plan to include Mera in a hyper, she controls water.
Plus, with Aquaman currently the as King of Atlantis, I believe he controls the oceans and weather.

[mugenaddict34]

Glad to be helpful  I planned an hydroman WIP in the past and I thought in using some of this sprites. But I dropped it in the " too much ambitious projects" basket, hehehe.

Good luck with him Never give up, never surrender 

[Twinimage]

His stance, get hits and basic movements are almost finished.
Stance needs legs/belt area animated a bit. Needs a sprite for laying on ground. Working on walks right now.
I hate having to sprite walk animations. I was thinking of making him float over water for the walk animation instead. I know it's cheating, but it's much easier than spriting 10+ sprite just for the walk animation. :/
But that's not totally out of the realm of possibility for Aquaman, right? As king of Atlantis, he can control water I think.

[HyperVoiceActing]

Nice to hear.

You need a voice for him? I already got a voice actor for Aquaman for ZV's JLvsSF; I can get him to record you some more lines

I totally agree, the walk / run is the worst part of spriting a character.  I cheated with Airman but did the run for my other characters.  Aquaman looks nice in the new 52 style.

I say that depends on the character. I have more troubles with the gethits

Hmm, I haven't thought of voices yet. Let me look at what his voice sounds like in JLvSF first and I'll let ya know.

[O Ilusionista]

oh, thanks for those water sprites, I remember this game but i didn't know that Anyone had ripped it

I sent them to ZV so you can ask him or I can send them to you

[warecus]

for a walk foward have him carried by a water throne and maybe some crabs and baby sea horses

for a walk back or dash back rather have that water hand sprite pull him back

That's a bit much. I'm going to avoid seahorses and such, since for the New 52 rarely has he used any kind of sea life to help him. Seahorses just seem out of character for the New 52 Arthur.

No seahorses please  Aquaman deserves something better than an animal who can't scratch it's own back if needed  He's not the little mermaid... I mean if you said "Aquaman moves along riding the kraken and attacks the enemy" that will be something to explain and a good idea for an hyper move 

But seahorses and turtles, let them to Disney

Tottally agree with you, give Aquaman something more manly, a seahorse?, come on!

[Twinimage]

I pondered possibly using some kind of giant sea monster for a hyper. Will need to think that one over. Would need to find sprites for such a things as well.

On topic: There's a stage from that old Ninja Turtles fighting game with a cool Kraken. Might be useful.

EDIT: Here it is.

That's exactly what I meant. Didn't remember this stage but looks pretty awesome to a hyper move for Aquaman 

[Dragon of Courage]

This Aquaman is cool, if you want to collaborate with Twinmage's WIP, please, no Superfriends reference because he doesn't talk to fish.

Also, I got various catchphrases for him:

• "I'm the king of Atlantis, I answer to no one!", directly from Injustice.
• "You want a shark, here's the shark!"
• and the aforementioned "I don't talk to fish."

[Twinimage]

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Update: I think I've got all the get hits done. Special states, like Dizzy, frozen and electrocuted not done yet. So maybe not. =/

Will need to sprite the dashes and will have basics done. Then I can focus on attacks.

[warecus]

cool

by the way i was just kidding about the sea horses
