HellRider's WIP: Spawn

[HellRider]

Since I started "fiddling" around with MUGEN I've always wanted a Spawn character... The brutish creature taken back from the lungs of Hell who even dared to defy God and the incarnation of Evil... Spawn is an antihero beloved and hated by many...

But as popular as he is... he has a limited number of incarnations in the MUGEN universe... I started this project a long ago... editing some sprites and making some programing in the hopes of creating a badass hellwarrior... When I discovered that a guy called Arlequin was developing the same character, I gave up...

After a few months of thinking what to do with those sprites I had made... I convinced myself of recovering those sprites from the now defunct (I think) CVG united forum to recreate my own vision of Spawn...

I wanted this guy to look as badass, beefy and menacing as it might be... taking inspiration and ideas from the comics, videogames and the animated series...

This is what I have done so far...

Standing Pose



Crouching Anim


This is what he would look like when he's wearing his cape


Walk Forward Animation


Walk Backwards Animation


I'm also working in sprites for DMC3 Dante, Kratos, WarGreyMon, MetalGaruruMon, TLOZ:OoT Adult Link, Donkey Kong and the Poke Trainer... But all those are in a very early stage of development

Here you have an unfinished image of Link...



I hope you liked my work...

Any advice and criticism is accepted, as long as it isn't offensive...

I will show you any progress I make...

They look good, stance is obviously based off Sagat intros and winposes but they fit.

i was never a fan of the idea of stopping because someone else already is doing /did a version of a character.
Most of the times you can pool in your resources or actually offer a completely new take on the character.
What kind of gameplay are you aiming for?

[HellRider]

I want him to be a full contact fighter... mostly close range attacks, something like Sol Bad Guy...

[Beto]

Looks pretty good so far, he use cover during the fight?
