She looks great so far. Most of the sprites will be from a side view though so that will be the really test if she's going in the right direction. Stances are so important to selling the concept of the character.

okay thanks :-) i've just done a quick stance concept for now, still looking for cape ideas.....

[Twinimage]

Might I suggest you try giving her a different stance from Chun-Li's, at least change the legs to a different position/stance? You want her to stand out from Chun-Li and not just be a painted over Chun-Li. Perhaps make her legs look like she's floating/flying, if you want her to fly in her stance. You have it easy for the walking animations, where you could just have a few sprites of her flying forward and back, if you should so choose.

You will also want to draw from other bases other than just Chun-Li. Chun's move set may not all be appropriate for Storm. But Storm's move set will be something you build up as you go along, so you have to time to consider who to draw from. The great thing about MUGEN is there's no rush!

For the cape, if you can find sprites of Capcom's Storm with her body and cape separated, you can actually use that. If not, there's several Capcom characters that are obvious sources: Magneto, Dr. Doom, Demitri from Darkstalker. I feel like there's more but they elude my mind right now.

I do like your two sprites thus far, the shading and colors are good and that hair of hers is great.
Anyway, that's my two cents. Best of luck with this new WIP!

thankyou so much, i think your right about the stance, its the top half of mvc chun-li and the legs are from the newer third strike chun-li to make her stand taller. i think i will try her flouting.
the characters you've suggested arnt what im looking for. storm cape is attached at the wrists and id like to try that.....i will re work what iv got

[HyperVoiceActing]

Still not crazy about this design, but I love the quality of the sprite. Good job.

hopefully my work on her will sway your opinion.

iv been faffing around today with the cape, and this is a rough draft of her new stance witch the left side of her cape almost done.

as always thankyou for your help guys, a change in stance was a great plan!

[Xfields]

first, congrats on the initiative

well, i would suggest some stuff, to make it better(not thats not great the way it is)

1-Increase the size, to make ororo more like in comics
2-the hair can move, there are plenty of characters using mohawk in the games, where you can base for the movement
3-if you stablish a movement for the hands(something almost mystical) you will almost not feel that the rest is not moving, and you can concentrate on the cape, and make it slightly moving.
4-you can make the tone between eyes and eyebrows one tone darker,so you can make the black around the eyes one tone lighter, making it easier to make expressions in the future
5-personally i would use two colours in the eye(grey and white) so you can easily turn it blue in intros , making it more rich

its all based in my personal taste
best of luck

iv added movemeny in the hair (its harder than it looks to make it flow)
im still looking into somekind of hand movement...
the cape has took its tole but it look better than it did and flows nicer.
still some tweaks to be made...

Nice, I like it. Its possible to give her boobs some movement. Not to be a perv, just because boobs do bounce.

[Tha Lando ( Le CROM )]

Embrace your inner perv Big O! Embrace it!
good point too. Up and down floating  with slightnboob bounce would work and look even better. Nice sprite bro.
See a hobo just embraced it. Pervy Sage mode activated. 

[Jushin Liger]

Yeah, the boobs needs more action 

[MatreroG]

She looks very good 

[Hellzone]

i love it! i think the boobs need a little more bounce to them.

okay so here is her final (hopefully) stance animation, with previous incarnations of the stance as a point of comparison.

as you can see starting with the first stance was not very "in-character" for storm, so as suggested a flying pose was created along with the first sample of that darn cape then i was asked to give the hair some movement so i fiddled with that and gave the cape more life/flow. after that people were being pervy and asking for boob movement haha which is okay if done tastefully, so i was obligated to try haha and at the same time gave the arms a little movement and her earring too. i also went back and thickened that mohawk.
