Basically, Judgespear is currently working on his revamp of Military Warzone from Super Mario MF. And The Fusionist will be the mini-boss (or boss) of the level, making it his first appearance in the game.

What I'm requesting is for someone to complete (and even improve upon) the edits I was doing to turn Julius from Castlevania into The Fusionist:



A very easy and simple request. I apologize, but I can't really finish his sprites. I've just officially added Ice-Burg Ahead!, Clock Tower, and Castle Gehenna to my workload, giving me a LOT to do.

So...Keep the colors as they are, etc. And, thanks in advance.

His attack strategy, for reference:

"He fights by throwing grenades and firing his rifle. He also wears a jet-pack and flies around the arena. He can be stomped at any time (and by anyone, including Arthur and Kirby). When half of his health is depleted, he'll call in several PMC soldiers, and they'll be throwing grenades and firing as well."

I'll have a go at doing them for you, Ben.



Managed to get most of the colours swapped from the original colours via a palette edit, so just doing the finishing touches/refining to each line takes about 30 mins.

I'll post a new line whenever I complete one. Feel free to edit, and that goes for anyone else on the board who feels the need to edit them in whatever manner.

Looking good so far.

Quite a change, isn't it? An EASY request I'm making.

I like to call this line "Fusionist pose attack".

To quote Vader: "Impressive. Most, Impressive."

He'll definately be a unique type of boss fight to be sure.

The top two are to replace the corresponding ones in the previous row. Basically gave his hair a little bit of a quiff, seems to look better than just being flat to his face. Might just be me though. *shrugs*

Coming along nicely. And yeah, that's a nice touch you've done with the hair, I like it.

Almost there!

Also, note that the first two here are the same as the last two on the original sheet (apparently they threw in some duplicates for kicks when they ripped the sheet).

Got two more lines left to go, will probably do them later (unless someone beats me to 'em).

I can finish them if you want. You've been a tremendous help (with both these and the other secret sprites). Feel free to rest.

Although a couple sprites of him flying via jetpack wouldn't hurt. I'm guessing that would only require a quick edit of his jumping sprites (along with some sort of rocket sprite from a game).

Oh yeah, him holding a rifle would be nice. Please.

Well, ok then, you can finish the sprites if you want.

Done!

As for the jetpack sprites, I made them for fun. I expect there's a huge flaw with how I've made them that'll lead to different ones being made, but I don't mind. I pinched the jetpacks from Sparkster, anyway, so no wasted effort.

I'll work on the rifle later.

He needs to lay off the bean and cheese burritos.

The jetpack sprites made me laugh so hard. It reminds me so much of Neo from Matrix.

They're perfect. Well, the flames will have to be somewhat animated and not as static, but otherwise excellent job!

JS has agreed to code The Fusionist into the game. This is definately most exciting. Military War Zone shall be all the more epic thanks to you.

Thank you for the kind words everyone, this sprite sheet here should hopefully be the final complete set of all the sprites (a few tweaks on all of the crouching sprites, and the additional hover sprites + the rifle sprites).



I'm going to have to let someone else animate the jetpack flames, if that's okay. I don't get on with spriting special effects at all.

Also, if anyone wants to try and sprite a better looking rifle for the last sprites, feel free.

I'll just say thanks to Ben for providing an interesting sprite sheet to modify!

Russian. Epic job.

...

Seriously, though, awesome! That's going to be one hell of a boss fight for sure. All in all, epic job!

...

So, yeah.

...

Ooh. I'm asking you so we don't get a messy situation, here, that's the last thing I'd want! Is it okay if I try to make tiny tweaks to the set? Nothing major, just maybe changing the jetpack to be more realistic or something and attempting to shade the rifle better, I dunno. Of course, you can always decline or just not use the version I would make. Just trying to help.

The sprites look fantastic, especially the rifle.

Oh, right. We need to give him plain walking sprites, don't we?

Nah, it's ok, I can probably make the walking with some editing.
