RE: mundvoll_'s sprites - Jahvansi - 12-11-2013

So i got pretty interested in the rep-char thingy in the last few days...
After speaking with some members I've come up with an fast type of character, u could say hes kind of an thief/ninja mix :P
Anyway heres the first version:

Critics would be highly appreciated, what do u think about the concept/sprite?
Thx for the help of YinYin and pf! :)

I like the hairrrr ^^
colours for skin/hair and clothes are choosen well
but the lack of neck is irritating, it's like his chin is stuck in his chest - maybe its just my eyes though ~

RE: mundvoll_'s sprites - Jahvansi - 12-11-2013

thx :)
in fact the collar of his top is supposed to be covering some parts of his face, maybe its not clean enough tho :/

Gotta agree: shapes and colours are well chosen. I'd try out making the coloured cloth a notch lighter or more saturated to make him look less black-only on brighter backgrounds.

The stronger bend left arm irked me a little first, but I think I'm getting used to it.
Those thin, bend arms would work great for quick fluent up hooks as his basic punches. A bit like Firens (or Maverics first) left punch, except giving them an inward spin so the last relaxation frame has the lower arm horizontal in front of his chest. (Click to View)
I think there is no character so far doing this with both arms, and abusing radial motion for every punch is a kind of cheap/thievish fighting style. Unless you'd rather have him throw knives or something?

Well, little or no neck on LF2 characters is common. It's true that his tilt back torso, chin on chest and high collar enforce this even more. I don't think it's a problem though. Looks all right to me.


Already got ideas for his other motions or skills?

even though he is a thief/ninja, but his attire really remind me of the expendables.
so maybe melee combos and kunai/knife throwing?
and somehow thief/ninja always remind me of smoky evasion/escapes.
kunai like these (Click to View)
or knifes designed for throwing like these (Click to View)

Ya - he could have them strapped to the back of his chest wrap. Acting a little like a quiver - but pulling them from below instead of above.

maybe at the back of his waist? something like a belt for placing the kunai(knifes)

I was thinking of something like this:

But included on the back of the chest part he is already wearing (instead of extra strap/belt clutter).

They'd be less dangling and in the way up there than on the more mobile/twisting waist. And pulling them out downwards would look super rad.

Waist could work too, but that's a small difference on such a sprite.

RE: mundvoll_'s sprites - Jahvansi - 12-12-2013

i totally dig that idea of yinyin!
didnt think too much about the moveset yet, generally im rather bad when it comes to thinking about those D:
but i guess i want to include at least one move including smoke in any way.

Well, if you are really getting into it just focus on a basic sheet first and how his movement shall animate. We'll have plenty ideas for you to chose from or get inspired by once you got a playable character in need of specials.
