I Was Bored Last Night So Uhhh...

I was bored last night so uhhh...

You ever heard of Street Fighter: Spec. Ops?

(Left-to-right) Code K, Dark Bolt, Psycho Weapon, Red Cyclone, Sean Matsuda, Sevil Nahte, Sonic Machine

literally nothing prompted this other than my boredom, i don't think this game has had any news in a while lol...

I am still working on my M.U.G.E.N stuff I swear I just can't do it at home bc Fighter Factory doesn't work on laptop for some reason ok byyeeee

hi! love your neo geo pocket or whatever idr style sprites, but i was wondering if you had other styles too? to clarify this isnt to dunk on the sprites you show off its just that being able to do many styles is always a powerful thing for an artist to achieve

Hi!! Thanks for the ask, always excited to talk about stuff!

To be honest, I have kind of gotten settled into this NGP style for a while now, so doing any other style doesn't really cross my mind much? I would like to do other styles, but I tend to get intimidated by larger sprites, and I get impatient if I'm working on the same animation for too long – I'm aware this is a problem with myself I need to fix, lol...

In terms of styles I would like to try out; I quite like the sprites of Sonic Battle (I've been playing it quite a bit recently, having a lot of fun with Shadow), so I might try that if any fitting projects come to mind. Larger sprites like CvS and Street Fighter Alpha are quite nice, too, but I feel like I should wait until I'm a bit better before I attempt anything of that size.

As a little bonus, here are the only two projects I could find saved on my phone that aren't in NGP style:

The left is an edit from an NES bootleg of Street Fighter II, where I put Chun-Li in her Alpha design. The right is a Sonic Advance-styled sprite of a gender-swapped Amy Rose, which I made for @theyre-gay-because-i-say-so.

Update like, two minutes after the og post:

I forgot I sometimes do this little artstyle when I'm bored:

idk what it's for i just think it's cute

Made another short bc they're satisfying and easy lol.

Just a little teaser for my next character...

The Caleb character is now complete and ready to share!

Download link is here.

i'd say more but god i'm so drained rn arrrgh

Might be a bit late, but I made a thing with Mai + my OC Uta for Mai's City of the Wolves announcement.

It's a pretty neat design, cool to see Mai in something that isn't a ninja outfit or an elaborate dress.

I've already (kind of) said it on my DeviantArt, but I've recently redesigned my KOF OC, Uta!

So if she looks really different to how she did in my previous posts with her (there's only, like, two), that's why.

Random rambling about my thought process below the cut (warning: there are a lot of images & GIFs):

Uta's old design was based off of Yuki, from this bootleg fighting game on the GBC called Queen Fighters 2000. Like Uta, she was a Mai sprite edit, so it was quite easy to make.

It's not the worst design I've ever made (that would probably go to Shun's original design, might share that later), but I felt like it didn't really fit in much with KOF, and it was hard to add in the netting in every sprite (plus I don't think that stuff would be very practical for a ninja? I'm not sure why I did it in the first place...).

This new design makes a lot more sense to me, and I feel like it makes Uta look a lot more unique and different to Mai (which makes sense, as they're not biological sisters). The main inspirations for this design were:

Mai's appearance in Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture (mainly the colour scheme, and the decision to make her ginger).

One of Mai's alternate outfits from King of Fighters: Maximum Impact 2 (I forgot which one, though; I've never actually played the game).

Andy Bogard's KOF 2001 design (mostly the black bodysuit, and the pants).

In giving her an outfit with inspiration from both her adoptive sister and brother-in-law, I feel like it makes her fit in more, rather than seeming like a bit of an outsider (which wouldn't be too inaccurate, but still...).

And yes, I will be making a M.U.G.E.N. character of her eventually.
