HUNK from Resident Evil released!

I've finally finished this little project, HUNK from the Resident Evil franchise. I never liked how the original sprites looked so ugly so i wanted to create a whole new sprite set made entirely by me from scratch more faithful to his actual counterpart instead of just a skinny Jill-like masked dude.



I also reworked his pallettes inspired by some of other elements from the games.




The character was originally created by wto38 and eventually recoded by Durancelleur to a MVC-style, which is the version i used. Keep in mind that i just made a sprite patch and fixed certain animations to fit with the new sprites but i didn't code anything since i don't know anything about such,  it's just a visual update.




EDIT: I tried to add more intros but considering i terribly suck for coding i decided to give up. Anyway I managed to add a Run animation similar to the rest of the RE chars. Download this insignificant update if you want.

you rocked it good job

Great release... Thanks

oh yes!!! finally.. capcom sprite of Hunk!!!

I LIKE THANKS FOR SHARING

Cool job bro.
Just some feedback:
In some normal attacks animations (mostly the standing kicks) looks misaligned. Check this info i took from a O Ilusionista mini tutorial:

  (This tutorial is engine independent, so it will work for anything)

Something constant in Mugen and OpenBOR characters is sprites alignment problem, which makes the animation look strange and makes the attack lose efficiency.

This is due to the wrong use of the Point of Support (or pivot point, anchor point), which is the point used to align the rest of the animation - and in real life, it is where the character anchors the body weight to perform the attack).

Generally, we use 3 types of fulcrum:
- Front (when using the front leg as support)
- Central (using the barycenter or middle of the body)
- Rear (when using the leg - or any other member that goes back)

You can still use a movable point, but it is valid for specific times and is complicated to work with.

In the images below, I'm using an animation from a Mugen character I used as an example to give feedback to the creator, Mazemerald. It's the same animation, with the same frames and frame delay - the difference is the foothold.

Compare both versions. Its the same animation, with just axis change.
Original at left - improved at right




What are the benefits of this?
- The attack gained more range
- The animation gets more fluid

I hope to this info help you to improve your quality. Besides this you have made a great job. Congratulations.

Whoo

just tried Hunk out as well and the sprites are beautiful,

in the mercenaries bonus game) ..Great Job

Ohh you're right! I never noticed that. I'll keep it in mind for an eventual update. Thank you so much for the advice.

@FlavioCamarao thanks a lot, pal. Same for you, can't wait for your RE works as well. Like i said before, i'm really hyped for the upcoming chars.

@Aeon07 That's right! Those ugly Snake/Jill sprites were my first motivation to work on this project. Thank you!!
