Hi, Rabano here.

I think its a good time to present my new sprite project, after thinking about it for while, I decided which character I want to work on:

Shen Woo from The King of Fighters



this is the sprite Im working with rn

and here's some animations:









and a wip of his walking animation, big thank to MotorRoach for helping me with it:



About this project: Im not sure how much I will take on making him, probably less than Jubei since with I have enough references from his KOF games and a better roadmap, unlike Jubei that I was doing stuff without a order and most of it had to be made from scratch.

He will have all his moves from his games, and besides 3 or 4 new animations that he lacks in KOF, it will be all based on existing animations and nothing new or custom from my part.

Feel free to share feedback!

Very good project Rabano!
I'm really hyped about it even if to me Dampir did a great job as well.
I always have a preference for spriting projects where there is no equivalent.

BUT Shen is so badass and a great choice.
Keep it up.
Very promising !!

I have always liked Shen Woo in terms of conceptuald design, but I always felt he was lacking in the gameplay department, perhaps this will be the push he needs to feel more whole. Lots of luck on your new project,

Im finishing with all the movement stuff with Shen, but also I wanted to add both the chain and the yellow details he has in his legband from 2003/XI



I also finished the walking animations, thanks to Motorroach for giving me a hand with this one



plus power charge and roll

Quite impressive.
The fluidity of the moves is very good. And the details in the clothing and accessories also look very cool.

Hi, since I have to many ideas I want to work, I decide to make a universal thread for my own work instead of creating one for every new thing I have.

So, said this, you maybe don't know but Im working on a CVS Shen Woo, you can see the progress here: https://mugenguild.com/forum/topics/shen-woo-cvs-spritesheet-200188.0.html

I will still update that thread at the same time I do with this, just to avoid confusion.

well, anyways, here's the reason of why I created this thread

Leona Heidern

yeah, Im also planing to make a CVS Leona, since she's probably the most important KOF character that is weirdly absent from CVS.



and here's some progress with her:







thanks Motorroach for helping me with her walking cycle

I will update both characters and also share some ideas of future projects I have.

also, here's a little bonus, some animations for Retsu, using his unused CFJ sprite



yes, he's also a future project but way in the future, you can asume he will be harder to make than Leona or Shen.

I'm glad to see such projects in work!
Rythmic used to have a Leona spriteset project. A really promising one. But he lost the files in a HDD crash or something.

Finally Leona will have her chance.

To me she looks great! Really.
My only fix would be thighs-hip area.
Capcom tend to give bigger ones to their female characters and same for snk females in CVS series.

I'm glad Motorroach gave you a hand with the animation.
Such a great support.

Every thing here is very promising!
Keep up the good wotk, buddy!

Nevermind, there's nothing I can do
Bet your life there's something killing you
It's a shame we have to die, my dear
No one's getting out of here alive
This time
What a way to go, but have no fear
No one's getting out of here alive
This time
It's a shame we have to disappear
No one's getting out of here alive
This time, this time, this time

Leona is looking really good, and the animations are very smooth.

Congratulations with Jubei Yamada, he is so fun, and the spirtes are so smooth.
So, can not wait to see Shen Woo.

What happened with El Gado? Did you ever finish him? I remember it seemed like you were quite close. Still one of my most anticipated WIPs to follow.

Im gonna be honest, El Gado was cancelled a looong time ago, like even before I started with Jubei, not only the work I was doing looks bad, but I also traced over a lot of other moves and using PrimeOP's sprite didn't really help

I don't promise I will do this, but I want to work on a new El Gado in the future, with a more better though up moveset, 100% original animations, and more important of all, using my own sprite, since after Akira I decided to only use my work instead of using other people's sprites (Retsu is a exception)
