Have you missed me?
You should know that I have not been inactive during these months. In February, after Lou's release, I simply decided to do some private mugen works, for fun, before working on the my new character, which today I decided to release with great satisfaction.
After so much time and hard work and, above all, having had some creative blocks and despite the lack of respect I received, I can finally release a sonic character that I wanted since I discovered the Mugen, around 2002/2003.
VECTOR THE CROCODILE!Yes, I know, it is my habit to post the screenshots immediately after the announcement of the character, but today I will make a small exception to tell you how my character originated.
It all started simply from this Mugenhunter's screenshot I found on Google Images several months ago:

I was postponing Vector for many years now, and this screenshot had what I needed to get started: the source for an initial sprite.
However, due to the non-human physiognomy of Vector (it's a crocodile!), making this first sprite took me a lot of time. But there was also another problem: it was too much small. And so I scrap this sprite and recreated it from scratch using as base a resized version of a Vector custom sprite that I found on Spriters Resource, hoping to create it with the same method as Cream.
Also in this case, too much time spent drawing it because of the physiognomy ... and also for too many details. I then had to resort to the good old "Charizard method": Xnalara screenshots and tracing.
I was almost close. And to my help came my friend MotorRoach, who gave a nice final touch.
In addition to Xnalara, I also had to use the graphics tablet to make the complete spritesheet. And, in the end, the result is what you see in the screenshots below:

Well, I inform you that this is the last character I will release ... for now. After a lot of work, I think I deserve a little vacation, don't you? ;P
Have fun with Vector!
