[Char] Frost - progress

[prince_freeza]

Hello everyone!
I have decided to rework my character Frost.



current progress:
All basic movements (except for super punch, dash/jump attack) are done.

Frost.rar


super punch or dash kick:



planned move list (still not final)

1- Ice ball
for now its just a regular ice ball, slightly faster than freeze ball and can be quickly combined with the super punch.


2- Mele combo
i still haven't sketched anything for this, but i want this to be a 3-4 hits combo with the possibility of Frost covering his arm(s) in ice dealing extra damage (costing more mp) the last hit will shatter the ice off his arm.
Marshall's suggestion: making the arm form an icicle blade extension of the arm.


3- Ice cocoon
Frost will cover him self in an ice cocoon, which can be destroyed on button hit sending ice shards in various directions hurting the enemy.
now my question for DC experts here is the following:
is it possible via DC to make the ice cocoon take a certain amount of damage and then get broken off Frost?!


4- Frost hurricane
Frost starts spinning and turns into a moving icy hurricane, movement can be controlled left-right (with mp drain ofc) and a slight pause after he stops spinning as if hes dizzy from all the spinning.
a template of what it should look like:

so basically a free moving, small sized freeze whirlwind


feedback is very welcome, sprites are not final so if you have any suggestions or see any mistakes please do point that out! i got the sprite sheet and basic DC covered but i don't think ill be able to do the last two moves on my own so if anyone can offer some advice/help on those that'd be cool.

Nice but I will be that guy now. I like his hair more from the previous version than new one

[prince_freeza]

hehe i remember we had a discussion about the hair in the IRC chat, YinYin even said it looked like a "mop" but maybe i can make the part that's covering the eyes a bit longer? or do you suggest something else to make it resemble the old version?

[johnr8]

like that character!!

About the hair, I think the highlights are too bright and bold
If u make them less bright and split them to 2 or make them thinner it should work better

[YinYin]

It's the hue and brightness to me mostly.
Here are some variations:

[prince_freeza]

i like this one the most


could you tell me what settings did you use so i can apply that to the rest of the sprites?

[YinYin]

Two hue layers in the green region.
First one pumping up the saturation for the second one to work better.
Second one shifting green hue towards blue and adjusting the saturation back down.

Both pushing brightness down to 0 (one wasn't enough - this is why I used 2).

[Gad]

I think the frost hurricane would look better, if he moved above the ground

+1 for yins version hair

anyway, nice to see it being reworked
