Comic Mugen Blog Business



Few things to discuss. The few sprite edits you see are a sneak preview of the ones being voted on at CVG United and the Infinity Mugen Team Forums as part of the Favorite Fiction Blog Sprite Contest.

- There will be a change in how the WIP Boards are done soon. I'll break them all down into where the main posts are located community wise. The multiple topic links will be gone due to the change. Obviously a few will be slanted more to CVG United if posted there due to my connection and how I originally organized all this information there.


- The personal WIP mmcelhaney wanted to work on needs a new sprite editor as Bizarro_Toro is retiring from sprite editing after Steel is finished. If you are interested in working with mmcelhaney on this project please either email him, email ff_blog@yahoo.com, comment here, or send me a personal message at whatever Mugen Forum Community you know me best at.

- Speaking of need for a new sprite editor, CVG United is currently looking for one for the Spider-Carnage WIP. If we do not find one, we may have to drop the WIP. If you are interested, please contact me in the same methods listed above

- SGM is having a 4 day event starting on August 8th. Expect a recap of the events each and every day.

- As I stated before, there is voting going on for the Favorite Fiction Sprite Contest. It had to be downgraded a little bit from the original plan, but we got a lot of great submissions as you can tell from the previews in this post. Be sure to check out the voting at the following links. You have about 6 more days to do so from now.
http://cvgunited.com/index.php?topic=1027.0

http://www.infinitymugenteam.com/Forum_345/index.php?topic=25160.0

When the voting is over at the forums, certain sprites from those contests will then be voted on here afterwards in a sort of compilation edition. The winner's at each forum will receive the ability to choose the subject of a future WIP Focus article, and something else will be figured out for the one that wins here.


Thank you and go vote now. And if you are interested in sprite editing Black Panther or Spider-Carnage, please take the steps listed above to contact whoever.

Personal WIP: Black Panther


Introduction


I've discussed earlier on this blog my desire to create a Black Panther for mugen. Volzzilla has been kind enough to talk to a few mugen creators are willing to help me out. I want to uses this blog as well as the forums for documenting the development of Black Panther. Upon gauging my own capabilities, I have to admit that I am sorely lacking on generating sprites. I have a lot to learn in that area. It would be best if I could find someone to work with. I can work right off the bat when it comes to coding. I have a copy of Fighting Factory and I can use it to make the sprites into a character. I aslo have some ideas.

Motivation:


Black Panther needs to be a mugen character because he is so very cool! I want this character to harken back to the4 way Christopher Priest and Reginald Hudlin wrote the character. He is a king! Very Intelligent. Physically, he's on par with Captain America. I'd like to tie this character to the version that will be in the animated series that was based off of Reginald Hudlin's Black Panther vol 3 #1-6.

Proposed Moves:


Intro - T'challa jumps down from the top of the screen
Stance
Walking
Running
Crouch
Basic punches...weak, normal, strong
Basic kicks...weak, normal, strong
Four Hypers
Helper - Storm
Special block that uses vibranium to block and absorb energy based attacks
Outro - Storm flies down and kisses T'challa
6 pallets (looks)
Blocks -



Methodology:


I'd like to obtain help to get sprites and other ideas for hypers and portraits. I guess what I mean is I need help with art big time! I'll handle the coding and animation. I welcome all comments and opinions. I want this character to be the best possible and above all fun!

Other Versions


I am aware of a couple of WIPS that are now in development. I don't know what the progress is on either of them:

Slotman's version


I have read that Slotman has pulled all the characters that he has released because some one stole his work and claimed it as their own. I think that's awful. I hope he will complete his characters and publicly release them. He does excellent work.
