[DarkAngelRafael]

[Not-So-Saint]

[Zazz]

Spoiler

i've been meaning to make an art of marie ever since i played squigly's story mode

 

[Zazz]

i few more alt.colors from before
Peacock

Spoiler

The best Faust alternate color ever in guilty gear

Original Idea. It's somewhat based on a traffic cone.

More Big Band

Spoiler

Tager

Robo-Fortune?!

Spoiler

Original Idea. Metallic Colors.

Robo-Ky

Brain Drain

 

[Number 13]

Like that Marie art and Robo Fortune needs Robo Ky colors

 

[Zazz]

back in the lore forum, i noticed an idea that really caught my imagination:

Just based on Filia's facial expression in the couple of flashbacks we see of her, I choose to believe that she was a major bitch before Samson got to her.

And I got kinda tired of Fukua and but still liked the idea of an EX-Filia. also EX characters have a long history in the Marvel vs games (Shadow Lady, Red Venom, Gold Warmachine, Etc.)

So I came up with M. Filia. What does M mean? Medici? Memory? Mean? Its all three!

Basically, its a version of version of Filia with her memories back as being a totally in-control heiress to an underworld empire.

The colors of her outfit are different because I like the idea of a character's look changing due to things happening. The best example I got for this is Tsubaki in Blazblue.

And it also works well with my Marie art from earlier:

Spoiler

Marie: I will have my vengeance, you Medici cow!

Filia: You think some zombie army BS is gonna stop me? Now I'm just pissed.
Samson: Maybe we should back off for-
Filia: Shut the hell up, Samson.

and here's a version of her colors i came up with. once again using alex's sprite as a base.

or it could all just be an alternate universe troll from aeon. o_O

 

[Candra Software]

My favorite Big Band palettes here are the Q and Iron Tager ones.

 

[Zazz]

some double color ideas i had. its october and she's kinda creepy so i figured its goes together well

Spoiler

these colors are based on:
Her default color map! Saw that during one of the animation streams by Lab Zero thought it would look cool.
Hexadecimal - Reboot
Flood Form - Halo
Necromorph - Dead Space

i gotta post things more often.

 

[Stuff]

I really like the Brain Drain drawing, I don't know why I like it but the style is pretty cool.
I also like the necromorph palette on double it suits her so well.

 

[Zazz]

i said i'd post more art

Spoiler

Oh ye of little faith.

 

[Zazz]

New Big Band Color Idea

Spoiler

Its a big daddy from bioshock.

Double's voice should have less filters on it. I can barely understand her half the time

Spoiler

Also boxing nun puppets are hilarious.

 

[Zazz]

More color ideas. Some painwheel this time.

Spoiler

Orochi Iori

Spoiler

Aba

and a silly gameplay idea i had

Spoiler

What if Peacock had a new lvl. 2 item drop:
The Ant Farm!

It would probably use the same hitbox as the rare kitchen sink. And when it hits it would send ants everywhere.
Of course the ants are there for merely cosmetic reasons and would not have an effect on gameplay.

also some would wear tiny hats. tiny hats are awesome.

 

[Zazz]

Mike said last night on the stream that there's a shortage of double color suggestions

well I got a few in mind!

Spoiler

references:
- hue shift of default color
- marie
- annie
- pumpkin because its halloween. spooky!

 

[Zazz]

its time to feel some feelings
can you handle all this sadness?

Spoiler

 

[Zazz]

its squigly!
aren't you excited?

Spoiler

 

[Icky]

Brain Drain

Spoiler

This should be a shirt :O This is probably the best piece of skullgirls fan art I've ever seen

 

[Zazz]

Its Halloween! The most Skullgirl-y holiday there is!

This should be a shirt :O This is probably the best piece of skullgirls fan art I've ever seen

thank you very much. I never really submitted anything before though. The art submitted by everyone else is so much better anyways.

 

[Sliced_Toast]

I hope that they do a Sturm Color Pallet on big band. http://img.neoseeker.com/v_concept_art.php?caid=23729

 

[Zazz]

While looking for old SG art, I found these old sprites from super long ago and I decided to update them a little. The top row is the unaltered originals from 2006(?)-ish.
I presume alex made them.

The bottom row is my mostly small edits. Except for Fortune.

i should have made filia wider.

I hope that they do a Sturm Color Pallet on big band. http://img.neoseeker.com/v_concept_art.php?caid=23729

:D

 

[Number 13]

Umbrella really soured out since 2006~

 

[Zazz]

I made this sprite in case I wanted to make an alternate color for filia. I made it out of that image with the DLC color pack examples.

the colors are her base colors.

 

[Colelegante]

We need that M. Filia skin now. The Medici Punisher is back!

 

[Zazz]

I haven't updated this thread in a while, but I did notice that some other people noticed it.

I noticed skullgirls was on its third anniversary and robo-fortune is rapidly closing in. But I also noticed that some characters are rather lacking in certain animations, in that some have only one win and intro pose. It left me wondering if they'd get any more. And just how many thermometers does Valentine have?

So I was doing some ideas (using existing animations) and I hope maybe I'll do some more and people like them:

Spoiler: Peacock Intro Idea

This seems simple. Intro starts with a TV. It blows up and she leaps out. Its supposed to emphasize her status as a "cartoon" elemental.

Also she needs a more flashy intro (than her teleport in) since her actual intro wouldn't work on consoles and got converted to double's super car.

Spoiler: Valentine Win Pose Idea

Another simple idea. She's a ninja. She teleports up and the camera pans fast up to see show her standing on the ceiling. Its basically what Strider has in Marvel.

Seriously. She has to run out of thermometers eventually, right?

Spoiler: Parasoul Win Pose Idea

Basically reuse the Pillar animation half way to give her a nice "Satsuki pose". And then the egrets pop out and salute the other player.

Parasoul being a bit more stern could be neat. And more egrets is more egrets.

Spoiler: Bella Pose Ideas

Top: Midway through her LK animation she looks pretty cute. Maybe another intro?
Bottom: Devil Horns is just a cool looking pose over all. It with an "EXCELLENT" could be a nice win pose for Bella.

Spoiler: Character Specific Intros

Just remove the projectiles and have Samson and Levi just yelling at each other as an intro. That's what I figure they'd do if they really met again. And they probably should also yell lots at Eliza.

Reenact the story mode battle of Big Band and Double with a battle of punches. Like in Jojo's and other similar stories. And then they knock each other backward to start the actual match.

I had these ideas on my mind for a while, and there's a few more. I just sorta figure I'd put them here rather than make a whole new thread about "Fan-Made Character Animation" ideas.

 

[Zazz]

some more character ideas

Spoiler: PW win pose

She hops over and grabs the enemy. See also Juggernaut's win pose from Marvel.

Spoiler: Filia Intro pose

She needs a another intro and using the tag animation of her adjusting her sleeves, Filia displays more confidence than anything she does in story mode. Also she's going to run out of hats eventually since she's poor.

Spoiler: PW Intro pose

Another tag animation. She's holding her head.

Spoiler: Filia vs Fukua Intro pose

They need a special intro to display the majesty of perfectly symmetrical violence. And this is supposed to be a reference to the Ibuki vs. Makoto intro in Third Strike.

 

[Witchfinder]

They need a special intro to display the majesty of perfectly symmetrical violence.

*futurama reference*

mfw I just watched that episode

On topic, damn these be some good ideas. Can't think of any good ideas myself, because I'm lazy.

 

[Zazz]

I wish I had donated enough to get the sprite compendiums, then I'd be able to frankenstein together my most ambitious ideas MUGEN-style. I had asked if Lab Zero would ever add it to humble bundle or something so I could purchase it and to give more money to them, but nothing really happened. So I'm kinda stuck with photoshops and screenshots.

Everyone loves Futurama. This is the truth.

 

[Zazz]

another win pose? this time its squigly.

Spoiler: Squigly Win Pose

She sings a song that raises the dead. Who wouldn't want a spooky skeleton dance party?

and quoting these because everyone loves these. why aren't they peacock win poses?

Spoiler

[Zazz]

another win pose idea! and its a big spoiler for beowulf's story!

Spoiler: don't click for spoilers

Spoiler: really don't click this

I found this .gif online of double's standard win pose and slightly modified it. Double having more than one win pose would be nice.

I hope Lab Zero could add in something similar since that scene art made me laugh quite a bit.

 

[Zazz]

another character intro idea. its both a reuse and a tribute.

Spoiler

Why not use Parasoul's tag in? Maybe make the cycle extra fast and toss in the napalm pillar effect and suddenly its Hayato's intro from MvC2.

Do people even remember Hayato? Or Star Gladiator/Plasma Sword?

and in case people wonder why I keep using the arena background, its mainly because I like the music.

 

[Zazz]

A few days ago, I had seen a few posts about character designs in the beta changes thread and i got to thinking about what if val did cover up a little.

Spoiler

Top: Her Current Default
Middle: Default + Ninja body suit.
Bottom: Recolor based on Alex's "Valentine in Japan" art

I really like the idea of the bottom color. And I think if SG takes place in fall, then she'd probably need to cover up in the winter in a future game, right?

And I'm a bit of a fan when a character's default colors change between games. Some examples are Black Tsubaki from Blazblue or Xrd Millia or even when Ryu's headband color changes between white/red in SF Alpha .
