borewood2103 needs MMV Sprite Artists' help please....

I am trying to mugenize a Space Pirate Cobra, using a 2DFM Muscle Fight Cobra as the sprites base.

It is not even up to a MUGEN WIP level (i.e. no MUGEN files done yet) because I am still working on the sprites part....so I am asking for help in here rather than in the MUGEN Help section.

I have been trying hard on Franken-spriting the Cobra sprites base in order to make more moves and features.

One of which not available in the 2DFM Muscle Fight Cobra is Cobra's motor-bike.

I tried to find some Cobra's motor-bike sprite but the only one I could find is the one in a Sega CD game - "Space Adventure, The - Cobra - The Legendary Bandit", where the intro scene shows Cobra riding on his motor-bike.
I took a screen shot from the Sega CD game copy and tried to take the motor-bike out for use in my MUGEN version.

This is the said source game screen shot I used:


I cleaned it by hands to get these isolated motor-bike sprites:


Then I tried to Franken-sprite (just my baby-level) to edit some 2DFM Muscle Fight Cobra sprites to make a motor-bike riding pose like this, because such pose doesn't exist in the source 2DFM Muscle Fight Cobra sprites base:
   =>

Now the big problem is, my cleaned two (2) isolated motor-bike sprites still have Cobra's right leg and foot, since I have no idea how to remove/erase the leg, while keeping the rest of the covered part of the isolated motor-bike, so this is where I need Sprite Artists' help -- to take out the right leg and foot and draw the covered part.

I need to have a fully uncovered motor-bike for making an original move/feature in my MUGEN version.  It is used to show my Cobra's action in which he tries to hop in/hop out of his motor-bike.  When he is not riding on it, the motor-bike is not supposed to show his leg and foot like that.  So simply put, I need a whole motor-bike without any Cobra's body parts.

I captured some Cobra's motor-bike in better view for a reference:





Please help me out as I don't know how to make any sprites or even do such difficult (probably not difficult for you MMV cool Sprite Artists) sprite edit.  All I can do is Franken-spriting (just my baby-level).

I will appreciate any help very much and will put any helpers' names in my "Credit_and_Thank_You.txt".

i got a better idea. edit your riding sprite, and then merging together. basically edit out the lower leg and part of the knee. then layer it over your big sprite and merge. i'll give it a shot and PM the completed sprite

Sorry but I still need a whole motor-bike without Cobra's leg and foot, because I need to show him riding in/out in the original move/feature.....probably the motor-bike will get blowed up during the original move/feature in my MUGEN plan.......... .....which is is for used in an in-game move in which Cobra calls his motor-bike out, and you can control him any time to ride on it or not, and he can even take off any time during in-game, so while he is not riding on it, it is so weird to see the motor-bike having his leg and foot lol....... ........hope you get what I mean....


Plus, I don't know how to edit my riding sprite to that extent you mentioned.....that Franken-spriting already took me like half-a-week that is why my Custom 2DFM Cobra mugenization is soooooooooooo slow.......actually I am not a spriter at all if I were one then you would have seen many many many original MUGEN stuff by me............

Anyway, thank you for your tip.   It might be useful for my other MUGEN WIPs.

borewood2013, my friend... Why did you not ask me in pm? I can create a clear bike for you (just to delete legs) and try to make anything else. I will try to do it tomorrow. Sorry, don't read all your needs about this bike yet... but making of bike without legs must not be so hard.

i sent him something in pm, but doom's looks better, lol

@Angelus_Silverhead:
Oh sorry, I thought it is more appropriate to ask here rather than PMs.........plus I was not sure who to ask in particular in the first 1st place...........

@Doom:
Wow!  Just WOW!  This is exactly what I need! You are soooooooooooo awesome man, thanks a lot!
Well, in terms of sprite editing like that, my skill level in this field is........0.08%.........

@volzzilla:
Thanks a lot too just checked your PM!  I am taking both yours and Doom's and will make good use of them all!

MMV is such a warm MUGEN place where there are more than enough helping hands upon HELP calls!

Maybe you can also use it:

Whoa!    Angelus_Silverhead you even made some bumping action to that little motor-bike. 

There is no lacking of creativity in MMV!

Thank you all for your cool help very much!

I am allowed to be able to add this source-not-available motor-bike to my 2DFM Cobra now all because of MMV's more than awesome TEAM WORK!
