I'm turning Xavier Pendragon (by Keioh and Juan Carlos) into the Shadowlord from the Ultima series.

Here's Xavier before the changes:


And after


Here's what the Shadowlord looks like:



I've added all new sound FX, painted new eyes on each frame, changed the palette a lot, removed the requirement to be powered up to perform spells and special moves, and increased his size.  Hopefully what was an older looking, pixelated character will seem higher in quality and fit in with the Golden Axe and Warzard characters

i commented on the video.

his scale looks very long/tall, is that intentional?

BigBoss

So basically this is just an edit.

You really should use ingame pics not boxscans.

The box scan is to show what character I'm trying to create, as well as his height compared to a normal person.

in this case the boxart is a much better reference than a handful of pixels

Dude looks badass, and I can't wait to have him.

Does Shadowlord wears a cepter too?
Because you could probably easily remove it from your sprites.
