Yeah I meant the style in general. 

The bit about the hair also makes some palette making easier since you don't have to worry about the bits of hair that shoudl be recoloured to match.

I like some of your custom sprites too and agreed about the CvS-ification attempts by dampir. Can't really say they look that CvS to me.

As for the style as a whole, I consider it one of the high points of commercial pixel art. You have work that has a lot of detail, allows for very lush palettes, and retains a good deal of fluidity due to its roots in classical animation techniques. The only unfortunate thing I can think of regarding the style is that it saw relatively little usage because of how intensive it is to create on a larger scale. It's beautiful to look at, but there was a lot of manpower that went into making it, restricting how often it could be used.

As for the KOF into CvS edits, my general issue is just how rigid these edits wind up being compared to the source sprites.  The insistence on effectively just changing some shading and scale around to make it work is more of a handicap than anything else.  If they looked at the commercial examples to see just how Capcom's artists transitioned the characters from their initial looks into the CvS style, you'd see more interesting work.

Relating to Untalkative Saiyan, JZ reminded me of some rather nice white tones that existed off a particular Ken palette. Slowly setting up all the colors I need for him.


Added progress from day 3; I really need to start working on sprites at more reasonable hours of the day. Also, for the last time Iced I am not giving him a nipple beam he will have his explosive chest bump at most stop asking for it. .\/.

It does seem like it'll take a while to do.

2. Yeah, I never really saw the appeal in dampir's sprites, it always looked like he took the original sprites, scaled them and messed with the shading. Honestly, they didn't look very different from the original.

3.  Give Broly a really loud long scream ala Hispanic DBZ chars for mugen when they do those long as heck intros :V

Yeah, then I'll do a really stupid "black broly" voice patch for when you do the ENTIRE CHARACTER.
Spriting is hard.

And I'll do one where all his voices are him shouing "KAKAROT" or "KAKAROTTO" at repulsive volumes.

1. Overly long scream is silly, and I don't think a sombrero would work on Broly.
2. Black Broly voice patch only makes sense if he has an intro stealing Bluestreak's jacket/hoodie/forget what the thing is called.
3. Pretty sure variable Kakarots and Kakarottos can be achieved though just grabbing samples from the other titles he's appeared in. What would be funny is a joke intro that is basically an acapella intro with assorted cameos. Would not require a Black Broly voice for that but rather a few male and and at least 1 female voice to cover things.

1. Nah, I didn't mean give him a sombrero. When I said "ala Hispanic DBZ chars" it meant "Like" But anyway yeah.

2. I prefer the term anorak. It works doesn't it?

3. Acapella KAkarot choir would be the shit.

Indeed. Suppose the hoodie would end up as more of a decorative scarf considering the scale.

It also looks like you're gonna have Broly emulate God Rugal's stance like Flowagirl/NEcromancer's did.

As I may have been the person who edited that stance in there, probably a safe bet. Hah. (Reason for the may being that I remember doing some edits for his Broly including a stance, but I'm not sure the final stance is the same one. Too long ago.)

Was thinking more into going into animating the Legendary Goku Puncher here.

Think I've got the color count down to 36 for base spritework. Should be able to cover a reasonable range of palette ideas I think. (Don't bother on this image though; no index present to edit.)

Good afternoon, Kakarotto. I have nominated you to be the first of my victims.
