When the guy is good...
Man!! These looks amazing!! Wondering how does it looks with other colors...

hey whats the link to your page again jmorphman?

I haven't even started to put the sprites together; that's someone else's Demitri!

The sprites will either be from Darkstalkers itself or the slightly modified Capcom Fighting Jam set. I don't care for his SvC sprites (or any sets derived from it).

But I'm not sure exactly what sprite set I'll end up using right now. CFJ has several advantages: Froz has already color separated it, and it looks nicer that the DS sprites in some respects. But there's just something about the CFJ sprites (which are just the DS sprites stretched vertically by a small amount, and given slightly redrawn hair) that ever so slightly bugs me; a nagging displeasure based entirely on aesthetics, that troubles my mind.

And I'll also note that while the sprite rips from CFJ (probably, I'm pretty sure) contain every Capcom-drawn sprite Demitri's ever had, not all of them were "converted" to the new standard. Only the ones used in CFJ itself were stretched and fiddled with, so stuff like his Vampire Savior style Chaos Flare or his seppuku animation are all identical to the Darkstalkers sprite set. Obviously, converting them to match the rest of the sprites won't be some impossibly hard task, but it is still something that's worth taking into account when deciding on what set to use.

The gameplay system is also something that needs to be discussed: I'm planning on approaching the character in the same manner as PotS's Lei-Lei, meaning heavier emphasis on gameplay elements from Darkstalkers. Or I guess, to be more accurate, gameplay elements from CFJ's interpretation of Darkstalkers's system. So quite a lot of the usual system features will be missing (power charge, parries, rolls, etc.), but chain combos and pursuit attacks will be added in the mix.

I also intend to make him compatible with every existing Midnight Bliss standard, and to introduce a new, accurate-to-Darkstalkers animation standard (unless there's already an existing one? I'm pretty sure there isn't)

the outline doesn't really need to be separated!.I'll be sure to add those palettes once the separation is actually done, though!
