Man-Bat WIP, video added 7/10

Hello there !
Here's another of my (many) WIP for the Anniversary event !
Man-Bat !

Years ago I found a sprite/animation of Man-Bat made by someone else (the awesome Jmaximuss if I'm correct), and I thought "too bad this isn't a real character..."
However, unlike most of his sprites, this one was not as complicated to replicate as it seems (except for the wings... real hard stuff here to animate nicely).
So I figured how to do the same thing at a large scale without killing myself of exhaustion, and with time I managed to do a real nice job (the wings were already made, so...)
And here it is !

You may think that this is not much, but this character is quite advanced, as I wanted to release it first before finishing Deadshot.
But since I will take a bit of rest after finishing Deadshot, I might complete this one in an unknown future, some time later...

Wow looks good! Who's the base?

For the sprite, it's John Talbain and nothing else. The only hard part is the fur and colors.
For the character (yeah, still a spriteswap, like all of my previous work) I used the Vulture Beta of Hodgoblin and Wucash because it flapped it's wings.
I will had special and hyper to fit more after this.

Amazing, I really thought only the feet was jon talbain's. Goodluck with this, it will be challenging

One of most hardest work in comics world of mugen
I hope to see more during this anniversary event

O this is awesome and now all we need is the vantriqist and mad hatter

@Raijjin Really interesting this news, I also thought about making Man-Bat, but I found few sprites in the style of Batman Tas animated series, but these Jmaximuss sprites are perfect, I even thought of doing the same as you and enjoying them, but I really want to see this char for mugen, if there's something I can help, talk to me, even if it's something simple maybe I can contribute

@Raijjin, why don't you also release your Thalia Al Ghul here?

It's just a palette swap, except for some small changes like the assassins, so I don't think I'm credible enough to post this as my work.
Plus, I'm not really sure of the rules applying to posting in these situations here.
So I think I'm gonna pass on this one and post here only my most innovative work.

Thanks ! I also used the sprite by GeekwithAttitude for some of my animation
I appreciate the offer, even though I don't know what to ask for, as my only real trouble for now is fiding some Giant Bat sound fitting enough (without ripping from TAS or things where the sound is not clear), but I'll manage.
So maybe if something else comes up.

on this talia edit, best to not post it here. black widow is very well known here. all anyone would see in that talia edit is black widow because how engrained that character is to MMV.

back on topic, really loving the sprites for man-bat its insane to hear you are using talbain as the base

off topic...

@Raijjin Since a fan of Talia, I always thought Sheena by BOH from the Strider universe would make a good Talia base. I even at one time had a name/port swap of the char

I just checked that character, and I think she would be better for a Lady Shiva.
I tried some base for a Talia from the Rebirth comics (I love that style) like Mystique, etc...
Found a nice one in Red Snake from Martial masters.

sheena uses too many guns for lady shiva in my opinion
