Bob Sagat's... thread

Bob_Sagat:

Well, I guess I’m gonna have to finish it now. Thanks for the responses.

It’ll take a while though. I’m fast at roughing, but cleanup always takes ages. Also, I’m not an effects animator, so it takes a long time before I do something that I like.

As for the field size, even though I don’t see the significance of it, I don’t have the luxury of having a disk and a camera at home and I don’t want to do this at work, so I’m working on a wacom in TV-Paint. This rough is at standard PAL format, but I’m gonna beef up the resolution for the cleanup.

The flickering effect is because of the inbetweens. I only put a simple silhouette with very minimal detail in there, for speed, just to make the movement work.
Achieving smoothness is actually the easiest part. The problem right now is that this hasn’t been timed yet, so everything kind of moves at an even pace, making everything too flowy and soft. For the final animation I intend for it to have a little bit more snap.
Also, I’m gonna add a little bit at the start and the end.

Please be patient.

awesome. glad to hear that you’ll be finishing this. on another note, is this what you’re using? http://www.tvpaint.com/

Well, here are some rough effects.

Pootnannies, I think that’s what I’m using, but it looks like I’ve got an older version.

those effects look pretty good to me!

I just thought you did it on a disc… was curious to know how big you were drawing.

Bob_Sagat · February 18, 2009, 5:52am

Oh, ok. Sorry I didn’t really get it shubacca.

I updated the original Psychocrusher Gif with what I’ve got so far. I’ll probably be making a ton of changes, but this is where we’re at right now.

EDIT: Now that I look at it again, I think I gotta be careful not to make Bison’s signature gesture look like a thumbs up… I already know what’s wrong, no time to fix it right now though.

wow looks great!

Pacis · March 1, 2009, 1:34pm

System_1 · March 1, 2009, 3:23pm

Nice clip animation man. Hope to see it develop more.

Very nice stuff you have here.

With your skills, you should join the Avatar Battle Challenges in Image Mishmash!

That psycho crusher is ill :tup:

Bob_Sagat · March 8, 2009, 4:03pm

Here some stuff I did for Drakenslag (Dutch for “Dragonpunch”, home of Holland’s fighting game scene), inventing a Dutch SF character.
The animation is a little bit stiff right now, it’s been a while since I’ve used this program, but it came out better than I thought it would.

rook · March 8, 2009, 7:25pm

OMG. that’s like, all kinds of awesome.
really nicely done. Flash?

Bob_Sagat · March 8, 2009, 8:41pm

I roughed a pose in TV Paint, then cleaned up and coloured all the body parts individually in the same program. (If I did it right, it should be at HD res too)

I then used the parts to build a character in Moho (it’s actually called Anime Studio Pro nowadays, but I think that name sucks, Moho is way better) and added some quick animation.
The BG is obviously from CvS2, by courtesy of Zenfire, who was kind enough to direct me to it.

Btw, if anyone knows were/how to get the entire BG, preferably animated and other character sprites/life bars etc, please tell me. I know I should probably look at Mugen for this, but if someone can point me in the right direction that’ll be great.

JGD_CHAOS · March 17, 2009, 9:20pm

Good stuff. I like the Dutch SF character!

SuperFreak · March 18, 2009, 12:13am

Shim_Sang_Joon · March 18, 2009, 1:40am

Awesome stuff!!

System_1 · March 29, 2009, 8:40pm

Yeah, loving the Bison scetch.

seantree · March 29, 2009, 11:20pm

omg!!! Very nice stuff. Love the Bison animation. The Dutch SF char is cool too. We gonna see Bison colored up any time?

SLiK · March 31, 2009, 5:01am

I am really liking these touches on the psycho crusher here. And the original to that is looking very fluid.

Bob_Sagat · March 31, 2009, 12:03pm

Wow, lots of replies. Sorry I got nothing to show you guys right now. I’m very busy at work at the moment, so there’s not a whole lot I can draw for fun right now.
I’ll post some stuff here and there, but it’ll most likely be sketches and that sort of thing. Taking on a big project like finishing that Bison doesn’t sound like a whole lot of fun right now.

Thanks for the comments guys!
