I’d noticed some issues in the image generators while working on May 22nd’s Pac-Man Anniversary update and started working on a few the next day. That led to working on a few random things and this is the result.
Custom Portraits – there are now two separate galleries for the custom portraits I’ve made/converted, with credits for as many things as I could find for the converted official art.
– Street Fighter Alpha/Zero 3: same as the portraits page, but with an improved Billy Lee (Double Dragon)
– Marvel Super Heroes – Capcom: finally, all the custom MSH-style portraits seen in the site’s image generators are in a gallery. The X-men CotA portraits will get a gallery soon.
A gallery for the X-Men: Children of the Atom custom portraits will be added soon.
Mini-logos:
– Capcom: Rose (Street Fighter), Bishamon (Darkstalkers), Felicia (Darkstalkers)
– Nintendo: Pokémon (redone), Pikachu (“Hey you, Pikachu” style)
BTW: Feel free to use these custom portraits and minilgos in your fan projects, just give me a credit somewhere.
These things were added to the graphics generators. Additional fixes include:
– Marvel Super Heroes: fixes to the character list (originally copied from the SFA3 Vs. lists and using old temporary versions of characters made when I re-wrote the generator scripts).
– Fixed Firebrand’s Darkstalkers 3 portrait, made MSH vs versions of Arthur and Firebrand’s custom portraits.
It’s the middle of October, and some of you have already started to get into the spooky season. Here’s a little image generator update to add a bit to the festive mood:
GFX Generators: The Marvel vs. Capcom ending (found in the fighter-sized generator and the MvC generator) now has frames based on Darkstalkers 3 (and the billion other names for the arcade versions/offshoots) with the top of the screen opened up more. Only the red and blue versions for now. Also, the Vampire Savior stages have been added to that and the other screenstyles with stage bg options: Group 384×224, Vs. 384×224, Comics 88×136, and Box Tributes. Also, a few arcade sprites were added to Felicia, Demitri, Donovan and Victor, including all four getting their Midnight Bliss sprites.
Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite hits consoles and computers today, so I figured I’d pay tribute to the whole series, seeing as how the original game is one of the main things to get me into spriting fighting-scale sprites. This update features remakes of characters from the entire series!
Custom Sprites Marvel: Captain Marvel/Carol Danvers, War Machine, Hawkeye, and Deadpool Capcom: Morrigan, Meichelle Heart Mega Man: X (Mega Man X)
Custom Sprites (sprites also added to their GFX Generator characters) Movies – A redone Jason Voorhees sprite Tecmo – resprited the torso of the hockey mask drone from the arcade Ninja Gaiden.
GFX Generators: A new standalone version of the Darkstalkers 3 (Vampire Savior) Vs. Screen is now ready and only has characters with all necessary elements. All of the standard Darkstalkers are there, but so are over a dozen guest stars. I’ve also made DS3-ish portraits for Splatterhouse’s Rick Taylor and Biggy Man.
While I planned to do a mini-DangerTerrorHorrorThon for this Friday the 13th, I’m a bit too tired from the day job to pull that off this time. Guess I’ll just have to save the horror for October…
This year marks the 25th Anniversary of Konami’s Castlevania hitting U.S. shores and invading unsuspecting NES systems around the country. With that in mind, this pre-Halloween update is really heavy with Dracula’s minions along with a Belmont to destroy them. Non-Castlevania fans still have some things to look forward to as other horror and monster-related sprites and things haunt this update.
GFX Generators – The following creatures and creature-fighters have been added to the mix:
Capcom: Anita (new!)
Jaleco: Avenging Spirit (new!)
Konami: Richter Belmont (new!), Medusa Head (new!), Castlevania creatures (Ghosts, Hunchback, Zombie)
Namco: Rick Taylor (now with palettes, including Mirror Rick and Wanpaku Graffiti), Biggy Man (new!)
Sega: Neff (new!)
An expanded version of my scratch-made Castlevania cover art recreation was added to the 384×224 Create-a-Scene screenstyles. You probably figured that out from the main screenshot, though. More Darkstalker backgrounds were added to those, too.
