Movie Maniacs: Pinhead, Ghostface, The Crow, Leatherface, Michael Myers + more

[SiL3Nt J]

EDIT:

For those of you who don't know, Pinhead is from Hellraiser, Ghostface is from Scream, The Crow (Eric Draven) is from his own movie, Michael Myers is from Halloween H20, and Leatherface is from Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I made Leatherface in honor of the movie that just came out. Can't wait to see it. Well, I was bored so I put them all together both on black and white backgrounds:



EDIT:

Added Carrie from the Stephen King movie. Still not happy with this one yet. Can't decide which version I like best, but leaning towards the last one:



Touched her up a little:



Also, here's Chucky:



EDIT:

One more, Freddy Krueger:

[Joulz]

maybe you should change the title, because right now "W.I.P" might be mistaken by some for a character W.I.P! (if you are going to post various sprites, a title like "My Gallery of Sprites" or something like that)

i'm a huge fan of Hellraiser material

first thing i can tell is the arm should be more "lean": right now, his bicep is too big IMO; also, i don't really like the shading, it doesn't look "leather-like"

[Roman55]

Not bad

The bottom part of his clothing could be less poofy.

[SiL3Nt J]

Ok, I'll change the title. I wish I could make the character! I just don't have the skill.

Thanks, I'll try to make some changes tomorrow. Btw, I'm not very good at making leather shading. I can never get the hang of the shine line part.

[Karasai]

You should really post your sprites in one thread instead of making a new one everytime.

Sprite looks okay.

[SiL3Nt J]

I'm sorry, I never meant to hurt you.

Updated Ghostface some. I know it still looks kinda crappy:



Also, I got bored so I put them side by side with my Crow edits :p

Just revised Pinhead. Took a couple of hours, but I'm super happy with it now

Just gave him a knife:

[RobotMonkeyHead]

Not bad.  I like your Crow edits a lot.  You could look for a coder to team up with, but that would mean making a whole lot of sprites...

[Roman55]

Pinhead looks a heck of a lot better now.

And Michael and Ghostface look pretty interesting.

[RobotMonkeyHead]

Yeah that Pinhead does look pretty sick.  I would love to see that as a full character.

[SiL3Nt J]

Thanks a lot for the feedback so far. I wish I could make these into full characters, I always thought it would be cool to see something like Capcom vs Movie Maniacs. Actually, The Crow might not be that hard to make. He's basically just a recolored Benimaru. The bird was Nakoruru's. I would love to draw a sprite sheet for each of these characters but it would take forever. I would never have the time. It would take years to complete.

Btw, I fine tuned Myers a little. Fixed the collar and knife. Not sure if I like the knife better now or not though. I just cut and pasted one of Sodom's swords and reshaped it slightly:

Alright, I mean it, this is the last one for now, after I finish.    Working on Leatherface from Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I'm almost done with him:


      Posted: January 10, 2013, 07:07:34 PM
Just finished Leatherface:



I don't mean to keep posting so much but I made one final change, an alternate mask. Not sure which one is better though:


     Posted: January 12, 2013, 12:33:38 AM
The last one I want to do is Freddy Krueger. Will try to have him up soon.

[Roman55]

The knife blade for Michael looks a bit too huge. But otherwise looks great.

Leatherface looks pretty well too....but I prefer the alternate mask over the lipstick one that you posted first.

[SiL3Nt J]

Lol thanks dude. I didn't mean for it to look like lipstick, but I changed because I thought it looked that way too. I was just trying to draw lips but I realized it wasn't really necessary. Just saw the 3D movie last night. Not to get too off topic, but it was kind of disapointing. I didn't like the twist that they put on the ending. But yeah I will try to fix the knife later. Just been busy drawing sprites. Freddy will probably be my last one for a while though. My classes are starting next week and I'm going to be super busy. Also, I need to start getting ready for them so I won't have much time any more. But I appreciate everyone's feedback.

Well, here's a group photo of all of them, minus the two extra crow edits. I wish Capcom would make Movie Maniacs vs Street Fighter. How cool would it be to pair Ryu with Leatherface? Or Ghostface with Michael Myers? Or Pinhead and Akuma? They could make some cool teams with those characters.

[Artchell]

I think what would be better is a new game by capcom, similar to darkstalkers how that game is inspired by classic monsters, but this one inspired by all the classic slasher characters.

[Roman55]

Freddy's blades are a bit long.

Also....he only has one bladed hand. His right one.

[SiL3Nt J]

^ I made the changes that Roman55 suggested for Freddy and Michael. Also, I don't know if I would want to see a game based off of movie characters... might be interesting later, but I really think it would be cool to play as Pinhead/Jason/Michael Myers etc.

Btw, for Freddy, don't know why I gave him claws on both hands. I saw that he had claws on both hands in Mortal Kombat 9, but I didn't realize that it wasn't that way in the movie.

Well,  here's one final touch that I added. I put the characters on backgrounds of their movie posters. I modified the posters slightly. But this was sort of what I would picture the character selection screen looking like:



Well thanks for the feedback and views so far.  Hope to hear more from you all, glad you like the edits.

Ok, I lied, I'm working on two more, Selene from Underworld and Pumpkinhead, these really will be my last two though. This will make an even 10 and I figured since someone else already made Jason and someone else already made Ash from Evil Dead, that would make 12 total, which is the same amount of characters that were in SF2 and Marvel Superheroes.... so... yeah.

For Pumpkinhead I took a different approach though. Instead of frankenspriting, I found a picture of an action figure and drew around it. First I sized it down though to be on par with the other edits. Since Pumpkinhead was a large character, I stood him up next to Leatherface. From there I resized him, then I traced around the figure with black, around the perimeter first. Then I took black and drew the details. The idea was to get the outer edges to be completely white so I could copy and paste.

Well, here's sort of what I'm talking about:


      Posted: January 14, 2013, 11:40:43 PM
Alright, here are my last two, and I really do mean it this time. Done now. I spent a lot of time on all of these.... way too much, but I'm happy with them now, even though I think Pumpkinhead looks kinda crappy... he was hard to draw. But this will  make an even 10, plus the one of Jason that someone else did, plus the one of Ash that someone had done on mugen nation I think....but this makes 12. There were 12 characters in SF2 and Marvel Super Heroes, and I would love to see a fighting game featuring these characters. I would picture there being 10 playable characters with Pumpkinhead and Pinhead as the bosses. It would be the same way that Marvel Supheroes had Doom and Thanos as the 2 bosses.

Well,  here's Selene from Underworld. I had a lot of trouble making her boots (right) and I can't decide if I like the blue or black jacket better.... leaning towards the blue one because it makes her look more unique:



And here's Pumpkinhead. He looks sort of crappy, I know. It was hard shading him from scratch:

[SiL3Nt J]

Posted these in the "graphics" section. Incase you didn't see them, here they are again though:



Btw, from left to right that's: Ghostface, Pinhead, Eric Draven, Michael Myers, Leatherface, Carrie, Chucky, Freddy Krueger, Selene, and Pumpkinhead.

[S.D.]

Posted these in the "graphics" section.

And they should stay there, unless you're planning to make a character out of them, then they belong to the WIP section.
This thread shouldn't be in the Fighting Games section.

[RobotMonkeyHead]

Have you ever checked out Terrordrome?
Also, I hope you get the ambition to do a sprite sheet someday.

[SiL3Nt J]

I'm sorry S.D. I never meant to hurt you.

I don't know if I would have time to do a sprite sheet. These things take a LONG time to make. I spent a whole day on Pumpkinhead almost. Maybe one day I will. I was actually thinking about that earlier. If I ever did, I would probably do it Capcom vs SNK style with only light and heavy attacks, no mediums. It would save a lot of work.

Actually, yeah, I've heard of terrordome. The graphics look great but I'm not sure how or where to download it or if my CPU would have enough memory. Also, the gameplay didn't really look that good... No offense to the creators, I know it probably took forever to make, but it just looks like it needed some work. Also, there were no female characters. They should have at least one. But the easiest way to go, I think, if you're working alone is to make as few attack buttons as possible. Maybe just a punch and a kick button? That might be the way to start. If every character can only do one punch and one kick attack and then block and have their specials it would be more doable. If we're talking six buttons though, that would be rough. The only way I could see it working is if we had a team of like 50 people to draw 10 sprites each... I don't know, maybe one day I will do a sprite sheet. But my classes are starting next week so I definitely won't be able to any time soon. I'm sorry, I really would like to.

Btw, I made one final change to Pinhead, tried to make him look more leathery. It's not perfect, but I am pretty happy with how it turned out:

[RobotMonkeyHead]

If you ever did get the interest, there are a few ways to go about making a sprite sheet.  Hand drawing each frame would probably take a million and half years, but there are easier ways.  I've seen some people draw up a handful of torso's arms legs and heads at different angels and then stick them together in various ways to get the base for each sprite, and then clean up the finished products.  So there is that method, which (as an artist myself) I could imagine would save a ton of time.  Either way, doing a sprite sheet you can get a way with a lot of copying and pasting different pieces of frames together.  Legs from one with body from another to get some certain pos... I think it's called frankenspriting.  That might be taking different versions of the same character and doing that tho, I'm not really sure... it's a highly technical term

I freakin loved Pumpkinhead as a kid too, it's really cool to see that sprite.

Oh quick tip too: When you're posting an image you know how you write [img ]http://image file.typ [/img ]?  You can put [img resized=1 width=x height=y ] image file.typ [/img ]  to blow up the sprite size for your posts if you want.  (the spaces before the close brackets are just to get the text to show up)

Here's an example.  You can quote this post to see how it works.
