Superheros & Villians

What can I say I am a comicbook freak so heres what i want.

I would like to see him change from his normal clothes into his superhero / villian suit.
and then using a super power on either himself , something or someone...

Some ideas

* Show him beating the living crap out of his nemesis
* fighting in mid air... etc.

BONUS

* Special FX
* background animation
* Catchy looking outfits!

* Awesome fight scenes!

Edit : Changed the sprite...

sounds interesting!!, umm, I just got one question, know about a free "animation" program? where I can save the animation as .gif?

I might enter...

Kinoko · Mon 10/04/2006 03:27:10

I'm sorry for posting without an entry, but I want to point out two things:

1. Awesome comp idea!
2. The thread title is spelt wrong.

Stefano · Mon 10/04/2006 06:03:05

Maybe you're supposed to smoke pot to join this competition.
Just kidding! Sorry Afflict. Couldn't resist.

Afflict · Mon 10/04/2006 07:22:02

It was an evil plot to get more people to enter

thanks guys and thanks kinoko!

Glad you guys enjoy the topic

Changed the sprite... Had to be my own not progz's paint over.
But maybe not all bad the sprite is less complicated now should
be easier to animate.

Have Fun!!!

Gilbert · Mon 10/04/2006 08:06:42

But since I bet it's possible that someone had started working on it already, I think it's okay to accept entries using your original sprite or ProgZ's edit right?

Here's my entry, based on ProgZmax' version of the sprite. Mabye I'll add a version with a background later, if time permits. His name is PURPLE HEART.

Real name: John Frederick Kerrigan
Occupation: Light technician
Identity: Secret
Legal status: Citizen of Canada with no criminal record
Place of Birth: Buffalo, New York
Marital Status: Single

Known superhuman powers: Purple Heart posses superhuman strength enabling him to lift (press) approximately three tons under optimal conditions. He has a superhumanly acute visual sense and is able to see in the unltra-violet spectrum. He is also able to emit light with short wavelengths, from blue over puple to ultra-violet light, from his skin, allowing him, among other things, to disinfect drinking water and cause sunburns.

History: After an accident due to a power surge at his local solarium, sunbed-afficionado John Kerrigan discovered that not only his tanned skin had permanently been bleached to a lighter shade, but also that his body was now able to give off previously absorbed light in addition to several other benefits. Thus, he gave up his night-time hobby of developing adventure games in favour of keeping Toronto's low crime rate low, while keeping his day job wokring in the movie industry to keep up appearances. On his third night of crimefighting, he already met the man who would become his nemesis, David Shatner, who has also been the victim of a similar power surge induced accident, although at a less silly location, and had turned to a life of crime under the name of Nearly Invisible Mighty Red-Eyed Dave, or Nimred. Unbeknownst to both of them, the power surges and resulting mutations across the world were deliberately caused by an alien race in an attempt to prepare earth against an invasion by an entirely different alien race in a conflcit that would ultimately become known as the Infinite Nightwatch Wars in the Zero Secret Kingdoms of RagnarÃ¶k.

Oh, and if someone just needs something to assemble finished frames into an animation, I suggest Gif Assembler; no download necessary!

Tomas · Tue 11/04/2006 23:22:59

I don't think I'll have time to finish this, so I'll just post what I have so far. This is an unfinished version of him changing into his superhero clothes. I haven't had time to start working on the animation of him using his superpower or add a background or do any other spiffy stuff.

It's based on ProgZmax's version of the sprite as I started working on this before you changed it...

(2x)

Saberteeth · Wed 12/04/2006 14:54:43

NAME: John McFreitz
OCCUPATION: WW II Sceintist
SPECIAL POWERS: Ice energy, power over the north and south pole
SHORT BIO: John McFritz is a young boy born in 1923 who was one of the main scientists in the German war. He was the one who introduced the idea of a computer, which later became Z1,2 and 3. In a frackish liquid oxygen accident he magicaly survived and was granted the power of ice... since in the beggining he couldn't control his power and was changing rappidly in a few hours, he created a device that helped him control the powers. When his wife died of cancer, he woved to revenge the death of his loved one. So he hunted down the main doctor and tore his head off his soulders...

Hmmm, another crappy entry by me. I hope someone likes it.

Oh and this is a BAD superhero, not a good one

EDIT: Hmmm, i'm the only one who used the new sprite lol

Afflict · Fri 14/04/2006 13:33:25
