Dark and gritty just what the doctor ordered...



Finally, after more than a year promising a new animation, I have something to show forth. But where the fuck is everyone at? Anyways, this is NOT completely done so don't state the obvious:

-Need to make the screen shake when Kahn gets hit and falls.
-The background needs to dim when Raiden summons his thunder
-The bubble blood needs to hit the floor.
-Need to add my sexy watermark on the corner

Any suggestions would help. Big ups to BlackSaibot for the pointers and help with the sprites/background.

I don't know the first thing about animating fakes so I wouldn't be the best person to give advice. Overall, I think it looks great so far. I love the blood effects when Raiden smashes Kahn's head in. Kahn's fallen sprite looks a tad awkward but I know there aren't many Kahn sprites to begin with so I don't know if that's something you can change. The stage is great, I love it and I especially like how Kahn gets hammered in the middle of a taunt. Nice work. grin

i iWow that was really awesome for a "so far" animation.I can't wait to see the final version! Awesome arena too but I think its a tad too dark. Don't fix it tho if its a major setback. This animation has a lot of custom sprite poses and iI'm very impressed. I know BS is more experience with this stuff so we should wait for him to chime in... but then again u said he already helped so I dunno. All I can say is there looks like some frames are missing for Kahn.

Oh shit, man. Seeing those customized sprites in action is way better than starring at 'em on the sprite sheet!

So far it looks pretty good.

Yeah. Send me your Kahn sprite sheets and let me take another look at 'em. Maybe I can try and add a few more "frames" to make it smoother (when he falls and his "stagger/shaking" prior to the fall). Raiden looks great! I'd just recommend modifying the hammer so it's not a complete rip from Kahn and more like his MK4 mallet.

Thanks everyone smile.

The falling Kahn sprites were modeled from MKII beheaded sprites.





See what you can come up with man. As for the mallet, sweet idea but I suck at making stuff from scratch.

I see where it could use some tweaking and will do what I can when I can.

Do your thing, bro. No rush. Besides, I only get to really work on this animation whenever I have graveyard shift. Post whatever you got on this thread.

Aight, home-slice. I found some free time this morning while my daughter took her nap.

I added some more frames to the "falling on his face" part so it can happen more smoothly.

Looking at Scorpion's wabble, he goes backward to kneeling straight up. I attempted to duplicate that with Kahn. You'll notice his legs won't be stationary so it will look more fluid. I don't know how it looks animated (I don't have animation software on this PC) so you'll have to make some adjustments where you see fit once you put it together. Lastly, I removed bits of his helmet that weren't cut out. You'll have to redraw the blood.

This image is larger than 400 pixels, so MKO will cut it off. Click to see the full resolution image.

Sorry for beating you to it sai... but I had already started on it.

Illusion, let me know if these angles are off and don't fit with the hammer you already have. The first hammer (straight up) can be rotated in anyway you want if you know how to do that yourself.

These textures are straight from MK4, by the way.



EDIT: Just noticed the Raiden sprites. Took a while for photobucket to load them.
