Description
Pixel art is definitely an category I admire a lot, because you have to deal with limitations, when you work under these conditions, you are forced to be creative and try to look for solutions to achieve the effect you want to do. This Shadowcat sprite did gave me this kind of problem, faces and hands are some of the most difficult thing to draw in this resolution, you have to find ways to trick the eye of the viewer and position the pixels and colors on the right place so it result in a plausible "face" or "hand" for the character.I draw it on a paper, scan, resized and animated on Fireworks, it would probably be a mugen char, but not for now.
Please, do not use it without permission.

I wish the M.U.G.E.N. character sprite for her would look this good. The current one look a bit to "stiff" looking for my taste. This seem more accurate and show her personality way better, imho !

That's great. I've also have lost some works because of problems with HD, it really sucks.

Yes but don't worry there some functions in case of HD drive problems, if you are using some SO like Windows, you can recover and repair your sectors with Ubuntu using the pendrive

Excellent job. I always thought she'd make an interesting fighting game character and kinda surprised they haven't used her in one yet. She could be a great defensive character with some unique moves.

Thanks. Actually, someone already did a Shadowcat, but not with this stance.

Heheh, it works indeed. Somehow, I kinda think on her as she was dancing here.

Its true its some pretty complicated stuff especially when you have to make a character that already exists. You need to add all the details that character is known for. Reason I'm loving Arcworks Blazblue and Guilty Gear, So detailed.
This Shadow Kat sprite reminds me of the old xmen 1 and 2 games on genesis. Good times.

Yeah, that's true, there's some characters that are so detailed that can drive any sprite artist crazy. Blazblue and Guilty Gear are awesome examples of great spritework, I was working on one HD char until last year, wich was the girl from the comics series "The Bodybags"[link] (comics), Panda Carmenmaria Delgado , maybe I comeback to work on her next year.
And thanks, I remember the Genesis X-men series, it was pretty good.
