What if... DRAGON'S CROWN

Recently a friend bring to my attention this new game released by Vanillaware, the Dragon's Crown.

This fantastic game created by George Kamitani certainly draw the eye for those who love 2D games and art... plus needless to say I'm a big fan of side scrolling beat'n ups with a RPG touch like his previous work Odin's Sphere.

There's some polemics and critics around about this game because of the exaggerated and sexualised character designs. Dragon's Crown has a very unique art style with different designs. Everyone has their opinion on the art style of course. Well I think it fits with the genre of swords and sorcery and for what it's worth, I like this game aesthetic.

In particular for me and concerning Mugen, the lovely Amazon Warrior character with her comically massive thighs will be used as reference for the She-Hulk char I've been working so far. heh. :)


Soooo...

This is something I did just for fun inspired by Dragon's Crown. "What if..." universes collide???
                        --------------- Vanillaware vs. Marvel vs. DC ----------------                     

:P

We could have something like... ( sorry Chun-li, you are out of  league on this one. lol)
"Battle of 3T's: True Thunder Thighs" 

And maybe the:

 "Amazing battle of Amazon vs. Amazon"

Just for fun... still working on my wips. 

See ya! :)

Wondering why there is a lack of news?

Needles to say... a lot busy with RL stuff happening lately,

but did find some time to finish this Somersault Kick for She-Hulk (sprites and code).

I don't like giving percentage to my wips cause always having new ideas to add or changing something that i don't think it's good yet... but She-Hulk wip progress are currently at 55%.

On this preview gif there's also Wonder Woman with the INJUSTICE costume.

That's the new Wondy  update in development. 

(a 3rd strike? yes... lol)

She'll have some new moves (with sword and shield like in New52 comics and Injustice) and a major revision on gameplay and sprites with new look and features. More on this later...

For now I'll post here a preview of her Smartpal  I've been doing that allow different costumes resembling many comic book appearances. A few examples below:

                                    Classic       -     Injustice     -     New 52    -        #600

That's all for now, hope updating this blog more often. See ya.

GAMMA VERSIONS

Some people keep asking me about She-Hulk progress and like I said she's on development yet.

I  also added some nice features to her like the new smart palette that will demand more time for the char conclusion and updated her look in a few frames to something less bodybuilder shape... I'm aiming for something between Pelettier, Cho and Byrne.

 With this applied... versions like the Future Foundation and Fantastic Four are possible.

NEWS AND Scruffydragon

So... long time without posting here.
Needless to say, I was over my head with many extra work in RL 
to even bother posting something here. And of course... 
I did a few things for mugen along the way in these past months.

But before that I want to clarify and make public something here.

Scruffydragon

Well I tried to ignore this... 
but people keeping asking me about Scruffyversarys events.
what is my next release there....what's happening to that forum... etc. 


I DON'T KNOW!
and it's better make this clear:

I don't consider myself a ScruffyDragon by a long time now.

Since my return I found too many things that I totally disagree about the forum admin 
and people telling me awful things about bad attitudes and situations there over the years.
To a point I don't even consider logging in that forum anymore... my last login was years ago.

There's other matters, like taking my entire old website without contacting me just
for the sake of a few more bucks with adsense and also other disturbing things.....
But since this looks like it's resolved I don't want to extend it anymore with dramas.

Disappointement... this resumes what I think about Scruffydragon 

( in particular his administrator the Dragon King MAGU$ )

Well I don't need to say anything else... 
I wish a Good Luck to the other Scruffys and hope somehow the spark that 
made Scruffydragon a really good fan forum in the past could return for people.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now back to the regular stuff...
Preview of some stuff created these past months:

- A new kick for SheHulk ( edited over her MvsC3 model)

- Haggar Violent Hammer.... I did this for Bizarrotoro, 
i don't remenber if it's going to be used on a Bor char or not.

- The BlackBird, will be used on a new "Astonishing" Cyclops char 

- My take on Emma Frost...again for a Cyclops "winpose" 
(edited over Asura Buster Rosemary)

My next post will be about details of this Cyclops version, 
Im working with Verz36 on him and probably will be my next 
release before anything else.

I alredy told this but it's best make it clear again.

I don't work with computers anymore... that means I don't acess internet 

like before because of  my actual business and time... I just go online rarely and 

a few times when coming at home,  and im not around forums too much because i prefer 

usually using this free time to work on some chars stuff. 

It's just for fun I'm still doing things for this crazy shit called mugen.

So rest assured that all wips they will still come out... even if in a slow rate ok.

IT'S TIME FOR A CHANGE OF HEART

Today I had some free time to conclude this intro.
I used Popims to create the morph effect but need to redraw
and clean everything on Aseprite.... some complications with her smart pallete.
I'm still need to do some little fixes.

AVENGERS CLASSIC PALETTE

MvsC3 PALETTE

On Mugen she'll have a Gamma aura effect around her when morphing to Shulkie.
Probably I'll edit a version for this intro with the classic 80's Jennifer look too.
This one with the scarf and purple/red pants.

"Running To Stand Still"

Today I finished the animation of She-Hulk running.
This animation will be also used in the "chariot" special move.
The base and reference for this animation  is "Black Widow" from Capcom's game "Ring of Destruction: Slam Masters II". I had to redraw it a lot.

base reference:

SHE-HULK MvsC3 pal

and...
I found this funny comic book page on google.
This inspired me to create some interaction with  Shulkie and Thor.

I would like to hear possible ideas and suggestions for a intro between them so I can work on it.

More She-Hulk at request

I do not know why but some people in these last days are sending me a few emails asking about Shulkie.
So I decided to post more info about her.

Here's some palettes in the works. I still didn't defined what will be chosen. Surely the FF, Avengers Classic,
Lyra and Red Betty will be maintained.

click on the image for original size:

One of these palettes alludes to Byrne's classic run in She-hulk comics where he made Jennifer switch bodies with her friend Louise "Weezie".

And speaking of John Byrne, I'm planning a hyper lv.3 with a car. But it is different from what exists in MvsC3.Would be using her old 1959 Dodge with flight powers. This will be part of a "Hyper Chain" featuring some guests from her versions "sensational" "savage" and "Lady Liberators".
I'm still working on it ...

Plus I am studying the gameplay for MvsC3. She-Hulk will also use the button layout from the game.
Probably I will implement it on my other characters in future updates too.
She-Hulk specials will be custom and some from MvsC3.

SHE-HULK : a little history of a mugen wip

  .
     2004

I had started this wip version of She-Hulk in 2004. The main edited base at the time was basically Yuri from AOF. Unfortunatelly (or not! :P) for various reasons this wip was cancelled at that time..

2006 In 2006 after some new tests I`ve gave her a new chance with totally redone franksprited bases. After some development and  various real life reasons this wip gone back to freezer.

2008 - 2012 and beyond In 2008 I decided continue this character.  After reading the Red Hulk comics and being inspired by Frank Cho's design for Shulkie (the Lady Liberators) I decided change the wip direction.  Not entirely satisfied with her old muscular structure, specially her legs I`ve redone almost everything. I also created a Smart palette to resemble some of her various costume variations. Editing 50% from scratch and frankespriting a mix of various bases, mostly CPS3 shading style. This is the She-Hulk who will be released in a near future. In 2010 I had a great surprise when Capcom's announced her in MvsC3,  Not only her gameplay it's different from what I've imagined but also her visuals.    About the visual I'll go with the muscular one but her gameplay I'm not so sure. Im planning incorporated some MvsC3 moves with some original stuff. or not :P  Plus I've done lot of sprites, but they still need some touches such as adding a smart palette in her gloves. More news about her soon... She-Hulk MvsC3 palette SHE-HULK by Loganir (MVSC1 palette) and CAPCOM`s HULK stand size comparision changes of this character through the years
