Great looking Ryu! Vastly superior to the actual Capcom one!
I know exactly what you mean by wanting to draw after seeing the SFHD WIPs. Quite frankly, I’m extremely dissapointed with how they look, and I think they could be done so much better. Their anatomy is all off, the drapery is whacked out, and their rendering doesn’t take lighting into account at all. Your version fixes all of these things, and it looks like it stays true to the silhouette of the original sprite too!
yeah i’ve been saying this for a while at the ssthd blog. it seems that more and more people are finally getting over the “pizazz” of all the pretty colors and big fake muscles. so many people bitched in fact that now were seeing some different sprites.
if anyone needs help getting started you can ask here in this thread and i’ll help you out. if you’re looking for 3rd strike sprites you can go to http://www.newwavemugen.com/~zweifuss/sprites.htm
ok here’s sean. same as makoto, he’s been upscaled 4.5x his original size. created on photoshop. the colors remind me of disney’s 2d animated features.
