The Punisher WIP

[Zox]

Hey, its Punisher WIP, ill show some stuff here

[lui]

ahhh, the good ol index method. lineart looks clean! nice work so far, im so hyped for him

[The Magic Toaster]

Very nice. I'll certainly be looking forward to this. Also, i think you should add 1 or 2 more frames to that knee attack. It'll help make it look a bit smoother.

[Trololo]

Man.
This is the project I'm officially waiting for!

[Koopa901]

After watching Punisher Warzone.....this is what we need!!!!

[Gladiacloud]

I like him
If you want a suggestion, you could give him some moves from the old Capcom arcade game "The Punisher".

[Gennos]

please don't give him his 80s costume. i beg of you, do not give him his 80s costume. it's terrible, it's outdated and it's goofy.
give him his modern garth ennis costume, this one:

or atleast color separate it, so it can be made into a palette. 

[Zox]

Thanks guys
I never played arcade game.. but i will take a look what he has there, thanks for the suggestion
Gennos but everybody likes 80's costume

[Gennos]

everyone loves the modern costume more.
just consider color separating atleast, i would love you for the rest of my life if you do.

Well, me personally love his game costume.

I like his classic costume, if were going by how goofy capcom sprites are then the entirety of msh is goofy so i dont seen the problem

[-Whiplash-]

palette separating his outfit to give him short sleeve is about all you can do since he's not wearing the same kind of pants.

I am looking forward to this, your spider-woman looked great, I can't wait to see more.

[Gennos]

yes yes that is what color separating is, please do it.

[Metal Warrior]

Finally a (very) good Punisher to mugen!

[F. James Fernandez]

looking good but in all honesty, if you are going to do original sprites please stay away from using stuff off of Cable like Cable's stance. Look through some comics online or google some images to see if you can have a idea of a real original stance for him. keep up the good work.

[Gennos]

i agree wholeheartedly. if you're gonna make original sprites for him then you might as well make it match his actual fighting style. don't make him another glorified cable edit.

the punisher's fighting style is based on his military training, which means he doesn't want to hurt his opponents, he wants to kill them. that should be reflected in his fighting style, so he wouldn't throw fancy kicks and knees like cable. he puts more power into them with less technique, no flipping, no roundhouses, and no "ninja shit" as he so elegantly likes to call whatever martial arts that he's sees.

characters with a very very close military fighting style to him are Ralph Jones and Clark Still from king of fighters, so i would very much recommend taking a look at their sheet to get the right feel for his fighting style and maybe take a few attacks from them:

and do mix in the hidden knife attacks from Yamazaki:

and obviously guns lots and lots of guns, make him shoot pistols, machine guns, bazooka, shotguns and all that jazz.

[F. James Fernandez]

Right, Think CQC, Special Forces, etc. Look into Punisher's Military Back ground and see the type of Martial Arts he knows and apply them. I hope you won't take it the wrong way, you or anyone else when people suggesting things. But yeah you can even look through Punisher's SNES (or was it Genesis) game that has gotten praised and see what attacks they did if any.

So as questions, let us know. I am sure people will give you input of what you are trying to do. Just like before stay away from copies.

This is just from wiki

"Expert in military and guerrilla tactics, marksmanship, close quarters combat, infiltration, and demolitions
Special operations training"

With that information right there you can google each abilities/techniques and see what they are about and I am sure there would be some stuff on youtube as well.

[Gennos]

we are only interested in the close quarters combat part, no need to him have research guerrilla tactics or infiltration trainings.
and honestly even that wouldn't be necessary, just look at yamazaki, ralph jones, and clark still's sheets. or maybe if you have a character from other fighting games you take a few attacks from them, bryan fury from tekken would another good choice if you want to.

[F. James Fernandez]

I know, I am just throwing ideas out there when learning about characters and their backgrounds. Basically do research before creating is all.

Frank is looking pretty sweet.  If I had one gripe it would be that he looks a bit too young.  Maybe some stubble would go a long way in making him look a little more grizzled. 
Speaking of which, I did this for fun:
