Rikimaru WIP

[aizo]

So I decided to edit Ibuki into Rikimaru from Tenchu. I'm pretty much gonna make an entirely new character out of her sprites as far as moves go. I'm trying to whip up a gif but I'm having some trouble getting the shin armor right in the stance. I have pretty much all the moves figured out. Ima just spending most of my time editing the sprites.

I plan to give him his grappling hook(ala scorpion style) and make use of his sword...maybe throw in a shuriken and smokebomb.



sorry for the small image but if ya save it and zoom then you'll get the idea.

please any and all suggestions are more than welcome. this is my first attempt at anything visual


edit -  sorry it's also my profile pic

With Ibuki as base Ayame would make more sense (...though maybe she's way too slim for SF3 sprites). Good luck anyway.

It doesn't look like Rikimaru at all, and he looks like a woman.

it does look like him and he may appear feminine because of the base that was used. i think the pants may be too baggy also

[tetsuo9999]

It looks more like Ibuiki with short grey hair.

Sprites should not be saved as a JPG.

sorry about jpg

I was using this picture as a guide. maybe the color is a little off but I was planning on fixing that in the fighter maker stage when you can edit pallets



similar to yours veiwtiful. but a lot less HR

amybe he might look a little feminine but I thought ibuki's costume was the closest to his costume. I don't feel the legs are a problem. maybe his face can use some maning up... so what do you suggest?

i see yoru point now  GI does need to be darkened. About meaning him up, maybe you could change something with his eyes seeing as how the rest of his face is covered. hes also missing the scar on his eye i think

 Man for fucks sake, better do it from scratch instead of messing with poor Rikimaru like that 

[aizo]

after I poted my last WIP, it didn't turn out so good......so I tried again.

completely from scratch rikimaru. i need to work on the colors a little. but it's a start.

[JozoTheBoogey]

Looks much better

[unbeknowNst]

Much better indeed. Keep it up like that it looks justttttttt fine.

[vortex35]

looks good man keep it up

[aizo]

Beginning some animation. I swear ima scrub at fucking making gifs.

Anyway, it's a start. but I need to do some animation with his legs. I'm also starting some basic movements. Those will come later.

in the stance the hair looks ichy to my eyes, fix it

[Luis Alejandro]

head is way to small, look nice tho good luck.

yeah..I don't really have a lot of experience. I decided to freeze the hair until I can come up with something better.



EDIT: I simplified the design a bit. should make it easier to animate now.

[-SyLar-]

i know the animation is in early stages but maybe his head needs to move along with his body i think it would look better.

[aizo]

yeah, I'm gonna do like a Ryu SF3 kinda bounce to his stance.

sorry I have been super busy lately and I wanted to redraw Rikimaru completely. I was really unhappy with how he looked and his stance was un natural. I think I have a winner now
