Honestly, he looks like a paletteswap of Inverse's Slash.

[Count Monte]

He is, with Rugal's Panther and Jubei's sword from SS so he's holding 2 swords, and a few other tweaks (purple eyes, sword sound FX from SS, and sped up to move quicker).  Still needs different chest armor, and ragged edges to bottom of cape, and special attacks for Guenhwyvar (the panther's name)

LOOKS GREAT

oh and his palette looks like crap

[Count Monte]

Palette is sort of limited to what the character's colors are:




Any specific suggestions?

[Orochi Gill]

I think, honestly, you'd be best ripping the sprites from the game so he doesn't seem like a mashup of three characters.

[Count Monte]

There are no Drizzt sprites unfortunately.  The only elf sprites I know of are Slash and Keel from Golden Axe the Duel.  Basically, the only thing I added to Slash was a second sword, which took a long time to frankensprite each frame since the angle of the sword changes a lot.

[la;MISS~FairY-!]

Is there a reason you didn't even bother to align Rodem's growling sprites properly?

[Randomish]

can you fix his panther it looks retarded

[Count Monte]

Sure, I can try.  What specifically is the issue?  He has a standing code, and a walking code only.  There are about 3 sprites used for when he's standing, that's all I had to work with, since the other sprites won't work for that type of animation.  I made it so when Drizzt turns around and moves the other direction, the panther also turns around (so he isn't walking backwards). 
If someone wants to jump in and help out I'm more than happy to share, I'm new to MUGEN so still figuring it all out.

For those of you not familiar with the character, he's based on the Dark Elf novels by R.A. Salvatore.  There are over twenty books and graphic novels starring this character.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drizzt

He's camoe'd in some RPG games, but never in a fighting game.  So, I put this together for those Drizzt fans out there who want him on MUGEN.  Also, for fun I'm making a MUGEN D&D game and any suggestions for other characters are welcome.  So far I have Gillius, Death Adder, Leo, Tessa, Valdoll, Red Dragon and a couple others.  Still need a good knight, and Kain Blade would be great but there's only one place to get him and you have to post 600 times apparantly.

palate swap

Okay, I fixed the panther's standing animation so he's aligned properly.  Looks much better.

good

[earthwormtim]

ooo oo make Jarlaxle!
He's got so many special moves its insane lol

also, I like how this is turning out and I await eagerly

[Ohsky]

Crassus and Jarred are a must , but they should be accurate to the game indeed.

[Randomish]

How about the intro he has the pather the it leaves at it is a stikrer

[Ikari]

I LOVE the idea and Drizzt is one of my childhood favs. Did he not have 2 scimitars though?

[Count Monte]

Well in the books they said scimitars, but Master Replicas made his sword and it looks like this:

Since Slash already came with one sword that looked like Twinkle, I figured I'd make Icingdeath look like it, so I used Jubei's longer sword from Samurai Shodown.

One other thing I need to add is Drizzt having the ability to drop a globe of darkness on his enemies, I figure that Jedah has some sprites that would make a good globe with some color tweaks.

I'm going to change the panther's eye color from red to green/yellow next (because that's a lot simpler, coding in MUGEN is still painstakingly slow for me)

[la;MISS~FairY-!]

Honestly you should make the panther there for an intro. (Like rugal had him) Him standing there like that looks extremely shitty, honestly. Unless you plan on using him as some sort of helper. And if that's the case you really should use the knights of valour panther sprites since that one actually had attack and hit animations.
