Toph Sprite Sheet Project for Death Battle...

  • Toph for Death Battle
    • http://www.mgcomics.com/AkumaTh
(Before posting here, I asked Just No Point if it was okay to post here and they said sure.)

Hello, I am a long time visitor to the MFG, but this is my first time posting on the forums (though I may have posted long ago but was lost). Now for almost a year, I have became part of an online series called Death Battle. Starting with He-Man Vs Lion-O, I became part of the Research Team. Another thing I am trying to work on is creating a sprite sheet for them to use. Specifically, of the character Toph.

A few years ago on Facebook, the team behind Death Battle expressed interest in bringing Toph from Avatar (the Last Airbender, not the Blue Cat people) into Death Battle. Sometime after that, I've started this project to create a Toph Sprite Sheet for the purpose of being used for Death Battle. Now after joining the Official Death Battle Research Team, Ben Singer (AKA Wiz) saw the sprites and confirmed that this sprite sheet will be used for Death Battle. Since I'm impatient, I've decided to spread this project from the Middle Ground to multiple places online, including here.

So what do we have to do: Pretty much, make poses for said sprite sheet. Especially animated poses so she can move as smoothly as if she was a rip from a game. And specifically poses mentioned in the list below. If you can't sprite, spread the news so this can get more helpers.

So what do we get out of this: 1) Something you were apart of will be on Death Battle. How cool is that? 2) While the credits will say "Thanks to the Toph Sprite Sheet Project" (to save space), on the complete sheet you will be properly credited. 3) Said sprite sheet will be released publicly so anyone can use it for their own thing. 4) You can use said finished sheet to create a MUGEN Character.

So what do you need: Specifically the following…

  • Fighting Stance
  • Natural Stance - I recommend arms crossed with head down
  • Walking - Since she's blind, don't always have her looking straight forward
  • Running - Since she's blind, don't always have her looking straight forward
  • Attacking - 3 punches and 3 kicks (light, medium, and heavy) are more than enough
  • Defending
  • Jumping
  • Ducking
  • Getting hurt - A couple variations. 3 or 4 where she is still standing, 1 where she falls to her hands/knees, at least 1 where she falls to the ground
  • Knocked Out - This can be part of the 'getting hurt' poses
  • Bending Poses - With arms and legs. Stomping with right, left, and both legs, pushing and punching motions with hands, jumping and stomping the ground... these are the most important to get right
  • Taunting - Toph likes to make fun of her opponent. We'll likely use some form of voice clips. I recommend 2 or 3 different taunts, and one has to have her pointing and laughing.

What has been done already?
(Version 1
Version 2)

Complete

Needs Work
- - - -

Effects aren't needed. For those who need help, these are the colors used.

Who will she be facing: While I do know, I can not tell you. But what I will confirm is that the match will ROCK!

I will try to add more to this when my spriting block for her is over.

Hey, I remember you! You're the same spriter who created those Akuma The Hedgehog sprites that were made into a MUGEN character! I haven't seen more of you after your absence. Good to see you alive and well. I also didn't know that you were hired for Death Battle.

I always thought Toph would end up in a Death Battle one day, and now it's going to be a reality. Cool work on those sprites.

Maybe. Though I do have plenty of bases to use. The original prototype was a combination of Hinata and Sakura from Naruto: Ninja Council 3, before it got fixed up. Though Sakura is still a base in some of the poses (as seen in the walking animation attempt). I am also trying to convert poses from the Avatar Fighting game for Mobile Phones, but they themselves were based on Jump sprites.

I'm still spriting and making comics. And now I am part of the Research team for Death Battle thanks to my original prediction blogs and being part of the Official Death Battle Fan Blog. I just hope I can get help on this because I got a serious block on this.

Death Battle isn't particularly well known for giving credits to spriters,
as many of the from authors in the mugen scene are used WITHOUT credits.

I wish you luck though

im sure jason flailing a rusty machete into luigis midsection will be okay just as long as we remove the blood

We can do that with a beam saber already. I don't see the problem with that! :laugh2:

While that may have been true in the past, at least by Season 2 they begin to properly credit where they got the sprites from in the credits. I even got credited on the page for ripping the Sprites they used in Bucky Vs Fox. And from what I heard, they have a good relationship with the Infinity MUGEN Team as well as the Super Flash Brothers.

I'd like to help. Deathbattle is one of my favorite shows, and seeing Toph on there would be awesome. Example of my recent work:

Krillin's a recolor and sprite edit, and so is Diddy. The others are 100% custom.
I think I'll try to make the Armor she makes out of rocks.

EDIT2:
It's Super Smash Flash 2/Mcleodgaming

Maybe I'm just reading too much into that statement, but with what is said. I'm guessing either Lord Raptor from Dark Stalkers, Tremor from Mortal Kombat, or Marvel's Sand Man.

Edit: Or Better yet, Gaara from Naruto.

Whoops. Confused Smash Flashes. But they properly credit them. And good luck making the rock armor.

There's also the chance of being Terra from Teen Titans (as the Official DC version is, not really that great of a person). Or the Green Magiranger. Even Kwame from Captain Planet. Lots of options. Heck, Aang would have been in a Death Battle by now if he didn't completely crush Harry Potter.

I completely forgot about Terra, She would be a good match-up. I was just listing the first few characters that came to mind with what you said.

Btw, ask them if Ness could face against some kind of bender.
Do you have any specific attacks next to the punches and kicks? If you want to make a combo punch you'll need to move the arm a bit back on the 2nd frame, and then make one on the other side.

Sadly, I do not. But I plan to force myself into making new poses in February. And thanks for the tip.

I'll start, but I'd like to ask one last question;
When I tried to sign up for the SA forums, I got approved to join. But whenever I try to it says I need to activate my email, which I do again. When I'm approved it repeats. Any solution for this?

That is interesting. Did you click the link in that conformation E-mail? If so, try just posting on the forums. If you can't, you probably have to e-mail someone who runs the forums.

It is possible. Though priority right now is the poses. Once the poses are complete, we could worry about the effects. Though if you want specific effects, try the rocks used in the Naruto DS games.

Big update, because it is a big change...

Ruin;1168524 said:
Earlier this week I shot Akuma a PM of a redesigned Toph because I wasn't really happy with the way the original looked. After a short exchange where he ran it by Ben Singer (one of the guys behind Death Battle), I was told the style was okay to use as well, and I could go ahead and make more poses.

Fast forward a few days, and now I have this:



Redesigned Toph sheet

It's about caught up to where the other sheet is, minus the downed, hurt, jumping, and the basic bending poses. So if you're like me and the only thing stopping you from contributing to this project was that you didn't really like the style, you now have an alternative to work with. Thing is, this IS custom, so there aren't really any existing sprites to edit to make additions to this sheet.

Now then, here's some animation tests;

[hide=lotsofgifs][/hide]

Yes, I okay this one because Ruin did say he will be making poses for it. And it does look really good, you have to admit.

Both versions will be updated, so work with whatever you are more comfortable with.
