.Batzarro's. Sprite Edits

I figured Lex's head was from Sagat

[.Batzarro.]

Thanks, guys. Since it now seems his head is too much like Sagat though, here's a third take at his head. Kept the shape of his head but redrew everything in it. If this doesn't do it, then I'm just saying this head is cursed and will never be right.



Aside from that, here's.. What is it, the 4th or 5th take on Grundy.



Base is T. Hawk again but with Zangief's arms/boots. IMO the best of the WIPable designs I've done for Grundy.

If they did MegaMan 9 like this it would be twice as good to me, meaning it could sell for double price. What do you think?

I mean, KoF went from really gritty sprites to full blown hi-res ones that are amazing. Doesn't mean it should cost double, it's just evolution of art is all.

Well sure it doesn't mean it should cost double. I'm just saying I enjoy quality sprite work so much, it could cost double and I'd still gladly pay.

For example if there would ever be a new sprite based Street Fighter game (let's say with all the characters of SSFIV) let's say SFIII quality, I'd gladly pay 120$ to get that. Not because it should cost that, but because I enjoy the series and sprite work so much. I know how much work good sprite work is and am willing to pay up to those who accomplish what I respect and enjoy.

Good thing you changed the head, it looked too much like Sagat before...
Great work 

[Spidermew]

You know what, Lex looks perfect now, and he looks like he looks like a great base for Sigma from the MMX searies.

[.Batzarro.]

Thanks, guys. Here's another two edits.

Another Grundy mix. This time, T. Hawk/Victor. Thinking it works the best of the bunch.



And here's one I'm not the fondest of, could still use work (I think it's the pants). Just sleepy and didn't care to really work on it anymore, was just motivated by the new Smallville episode to try my hand at 'em.



Not any particular version but taking some cues from TAS version.

i like that grundy. shouldnt he be taller though?

Well, he's leaning forward quite a bit. If he were to stand up straight, he'd tower over most regular chars. Besides that, his height/weight (personality) all change whenever he comes back from the dead. Pretty much a new Grundy every time he comes back, so a good amount of freedom could be taken with him. As long as you put him in a suit, give him chalky skin, and white hair, you're good to go.

Absorbing Man (Carl Creel)

I'll be dedicating this month to evil (from comics). Not sure who to sprite next though, so whoever can guess the bases used in Carl here (there's three, not including who I took the chains from) can determine who I sprite next. A villain from DC, Marvel, or Image that is (not anyone that'll need to be hi-res like Fing Fang Foom though). Trying to get the last base will not be the easiest thing. Unless it's a completely random guess or something.

[TomBewley]

You really have nailed that Grundy design! Although those other designs of him were good this takes the biscuit.

Again, nice design on Absorbing Man. You seem to have a knack for finding bases and creating a design for these characters! I'm just wishing that my sprites were any where near your level

[KudosForce]

I must hand it to you, .Batzarro. That sprite of Absorbing Man is FANTASTIC! It's actually making me wish that he'd be included into SMvC:EOH's roster.

Kudos to you. You've got talent (which was obvious, once I saw Rhino ).

[yourdad]

Awesome sprites Batz solomon grundy looks cool and metallo looks sweet  great job 

[ELECTRO]

Absorbingman looks great

[MuηkyMØÜf]

Absorbingman looks great

you can tell its Victor's arm on the new Grundy by the shading.

[carloskillar3675]

I think for Absorbing man, you used Zangief top, Cody bottom,CVS Chang the chain steel ball, The Thing (Fantastic 4) rock top and made it a steel top, hope its right

[.Batzarro.]

Sorry, guys. No one's gotten it and there were a lot of guesses. So, I'll just let you know now. The head/arms were Zangief, the legs were Cody's (heavily resized), and the one no one got, the torso was Collosus'. Am actually surprised no one guessed at that one, but here's a new one for you guys to guess at.


Spider-Carnage

Now, same deal as last time, first one to guess all the bases gets a sprite of a comic villain done for 'em (anyone that doesn't need to be hi-res like Fing Fang Foom). This sprite has five bases, one of which will be difficult to get right but two shouldn't be hard at all. Just guess at the five bases, not more then five bases and wait 'til I let ya know if it's right or wrong.

So, since I always enjoy guessing at bases, I'm not making it a game for you all. Now, let the games, begin.!

Thanks, man. You give me too much credit though. Your spriting is awesome too and you know I'm here for ya if you need help on your WIPs.

Thanks, man. I really took my time on him. Putting the pieces together and resizing Cody's legs took as long as making it's own sprite. So, with that, then turning him into Carl, then the steel version of Carl, well, that should tell ya how long it took.

[.Batzarro.]

No one guessed at the last one here, but here's hoping some of you might wanna join in this time.

Intermission was the winner of the last guessing game. With her choice, she chose someone that came to mind as soon as I put Image as one of the options. Not sure how, but I knew it was coming and he was one time consuming bastard to sprite. Seriously, about the time it takes me to make three or four sprites. None the less, I'm still pretty happy with the result, so, here it is.



Overt-Kill

Wasn't sure if the shinier version was better or not and still wanna add some things (weapons and make better chains) and touch up some areas. Thought he was more then ready as is for the comp though. So, there's 4 bases here (talking about limbs/body parts and not armor of any sort). Guess them right, you get the next villain request.

With one simple new added rule, no repeat requests. I'm not spriting this guy again.

[TomBewley]

Looks nice, but the torso doesn't seem like it's attached properly to the groin area and the left arm (our left) the joining of the arm seems a tad off.

As for bases:
Hulk arms/hands
Colossus legs
Monk head (although I am tempted to say Venom for some reason)

I'm not sure who else so I'll say Zangief for the torso

[M.Chidori]

Colossus body/ legs
Sagats head 
Hulks hands
Uhhhhmm idk maybe Thanos arms

Ah, I see what you mean on the torso. Not sure if I see what you mean on the arms though. Thinking it might be the shoulder pads if something looks odd.

Anyways, for the guess, you got 2/4. No Monk or Zangief.

Colossus body/ legs
Sagats head 
Hulks hands
Uhhhhmm idk maybe Thanos arms 

Hell of great guess, 3/4. No Sagat.

[Worksa8]

Nice sprites Bat, you've done a lot over the last year or so...

[DanOwnsall112]

Overt-Kill

For the head I'm guessing that its hulk's head 

[M.Chidori]

Colossus body/ legs  
Hulks hands
Thanos arms

Balrog or T hawks head?

[.Batzarro.]

Balrog or T hawks head?

It's up to you if you wanna guess who had what limbs, but it's not needed. Also, can't accept any guesses that have more bases then the number I mentioned. However, since neither Balrog or T. Hawk are in there, and someone else already got the right answer, guess it doesn't really matter. Hell of a good try though, you were the first to get so many right. Impressed with how close you got with naming what belonged to who as well.

Anyways, head/hands were from Hulk, arms from Thanos, upper legs/waist from Colossus, and the body/lower legs from Bison (SFA). Next sprite up is up to the winner this time, L@nce Uppercut.

[.Batzarro.]

Alright, this was L@nce's request.

Dr. Light

4 bases here. ALL CAPCOM. Am obviously saying that for a reason.

By all capcom do you mean mvc characters, including those by marvel, or just the capcom side of the roster?

I meant Capcom made sprites. Anything in MvC, SFA, so on and so forth.
