[Oni + Evil Ryu] SF4 Characters as SF3 Sprites

http://i892.photobucket.com/albums/ac130/hbreakz/stance.gif?t=1253219638

heres a start for the stance =O) if u want to make it into 3s 13 frames total.

At first I chose to do SF4 characters because they have never been in sprite form, and the other guys (Gen, Dan, etc.) just trickled in because it was so fun. However I don’t have as much time as I did before, so I dont think i’ll be making any more for a while :(.

That doesn’t seem like too much work to just tweak the sprite. But I don’t have the time these days, maybe someone else could tackle it!

Nice Gouken Stance image, was that created by you?

And Steamboy I hear ya on lack of time to complete such cool things. Your work has been awesome.

yeah i made the stance. took a long time. its not that hard tho. maybe ill try to make it into a sprite. for the mugen community.

That sir is amazing.

If you can get the rest of them moving, SRK will love you forever.

yeah i can i get all the movements just give me sometime and im sure ill be able to finish this soon.

I’m coping the Sakura and Dan ones for sure to use in some avs. Would you mind?

Hey !

Very nice work !

Gen and Dan are amazing !

Rufus is very good but a bit flat (enhance colours contrast a bit maybe?)

Gouken is really cool but can be improved in my opinion.
Honestly I found it so good I made a little fix to try to help you (a crappy one, as I don’t have time either), but I think it may help you :

Here’s what I changed (but remember it’s just raw “fixes”, you can do a lot better) :

  • added light on top of the back of the hand on the right. It looked too small because it looked vertical since you forgot the light there.
    Also grouped his pinky finger with the rest of them as I bet Gouken doesn’t drink an imaginary cup of tea while on guard :wink:

-smaller wrist on the right, was too bulky

-stared adding a bit more volume on the right forearm as it suddenly drops into shadow (still looks like its on a totally different plan on mine)

  • made the whole forearm+hand in front bigger, and changed the angle so that it has a more natural angle with the shoulder also enlarged his torso to the left as his frame lacked balance. Also added some light on top of this arm as it’s in plain light.

-changed his skin tone a bit (but I think you should go even further) as it looked too much like a stereotypical “skin” colour. also it was not that far from Rufus’s/Abel’s, etc… you might want to differentiate chars more with their skin tones(but the others look just fine to me)

  • longer skirt

  • also I noticed you made the light spots on his skin by adding white, and it’s not your best choice.
    Adding white (and in the same way, adding black to darken a colour) makes things flatter and breaks the colour. You may want to add more saturation to avoid that and instead add yellow to lighten up and a mix of the complementary colour+blue/violet to make shades.
    Capcom’s style is more painterly than that(while SNK does what you did), they use mainly complementary colours (sometimes too much).
    Use that combined with the idea of cold and warm colours.
    You could think of you drawing as made of 3 parts (more or less…)
    The deeper, colder shades, the warm, intermediate shades, and the plain hot light. Also, Capcom artists used a very nice trick : at the border between light and shade, they draw a very coloured hot outline (colour depends on the fabric). Check out Ryu’s trousers.

Last words, you get a bit lost on drawing the shoulders (yup it’s difficult), so that shows on your drawing, get it right, your light spot will look better and you’ll be able to detail it to the level of the oiginal 3S !

again, I’m not trying to diss you but to help, this is very fine work and you’re free to take what I say or not !

cheers

that’s an awesome idea you had there

for some wierd reason theres black outlines on her body . but owell here you go.

Hey man, thanks for your crits.

I generally like what you did to his arms. I had the lats more full like that before (i modified him a bit after I realized the would be squashed into 4:3 ratio)

Gouken was the first one I made, and you could probably tell I was still getting used to spriting the SF3 style. Just never had time to go back and fine tune things.

:china:

Thanks man :tup:

You’re awesome.

^^^^I agree with Joe on this one. very good stuff.

Awesome work steamboy. Thumbs up.
It would have been so cool if sfiv would have been 2d in the first place.

looks like the real 3s look. keep it up man

Amazing work…:slight_smile:
Sakura can be better her legs lack of details.:xeye:
And her face is too much SFZ-ish!

But other are Great:cool:

Haha, all the SUPER SF4 characters need doing now… :stuck_out_tongue:
