 I was working on a kinda CVS Kula project a long time ago, for the DW character. It's been on a long hiatus, but recently decided to get back to it. This is a retouch of her XIII version.


WIP: some frames need to be retouched.


More to come soon...

Man, this Kula isntotally AMAZING. I'm jealous of your skills!!

EDIT: Which proportions did you follow to decrease her size from XIII to CvS? Thanks!
I swear there was something cool here!!

Absolutely awesome!
The CVS feeling is great here!
I never been a Kulan fan, but I'm really impressed and glad this is possible.

I say that, because usually the XIII->CVS conversions keep mostly the 3D aspects of XIII.
And also strange proportions sometimes.

But here, this is absolutely flawless!!!


Would you show few steps of your conversion in a single sprite ?
I"m very curious about your process... visually...

That's a very good looking Kula. There's just a few things I'd recommend tweaking. After comparing her standing sprite to the CvS and KOF sprites, I feel like her legs are just a pixel too long, and I'd advise to be careful with not making her head too big. In this animation, all you'd need to do is bring the top of her head down by a pixel and it'd be good. Only other thing that I feel didn't translate quite well from XIII to CvS are the leg proportions, with her legs looking very skinny. CvS sprites tend to emphasize the shapes of a characters proportions a good bit, so at the very least, I think her leg shape would be closer to how it was in the older KOF Kula sprite design.



Quick edit I made to help showcase what I'm suggesting, if you'd like to use it.

Shit

Thanks Ned, Felo_Llop and MotorRoach, I really appreciate your kind words :D

50/50, I was a bit lazy, to be honest, but it looks pretty good to me, lol.

Sure, Ned. Actually it's a simple/fast process. (And maybe I would have liked to know it earlier)



1st frame: Original Sprite
2nd frame: Reduce colors by applying a cs patch
3rd frame: Decrease the size by 50%
4th frame: Apply the tweaks to the sprite.


Oh Interesting, really liked the change you made to the sprite, thank you. I'll consider applying these changes to all of them. Thanks for the feedback :)

Hmm, I see. That's the exact same resize I used for Ash(finished sprite sheet), but I thought, specially when comparing to official cvs sprites, that maybe he was a bit tad big. I think I saw a more accurate image showing the perfect proportions else where.

Whatever!! Thanks, man!! I hope seeing more of you! :) !!

Looking good. :) I was in the opinion of the bigger head translation from XIII but I didn't notice the legs that Roach pointed out. They're subtle changes but they look nice. I'm looking forward to more progress. Good luck with everything.

Thanks all of you :D

I have applied the changes to all the sprites I had done suggested by MotorRoach, and also modify the shading of the hair so that it looks a little cvs

This is looking really good!
I noticed her right hand in the new version is now a different color in the comparison gif, don't know if it's intentional?
Anyway, I'll be keeping an eye on this project!
