Description
Aside from world domination, my life's dream is for Sega and Capcom to team up and make an old-school 2D Sega vs. Capcom fighting game, a la Marvel vs. Capcom 2. And they'd get me to help them pick the roster and develop the characters! And we'd eat pancakes to celebrate! And we'd all become best friends!!!Anyway, this is how I think Midknight from Sega's Eternal Champions would look in Capcom's animation style, both in normal resolution and simulated "game pixelation". Enjoy!

Nah, still Photoshop, but I saturated the crap out of the color.

Saturated???
I have a lot to learn...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's just bringing the color levels up higher--no big deal. Like brightness and contrast, but it only affects the colors. As in, bringing the saturation down would give a drawing a drab, old photo-type look, and bringing it up with make the colors richer and brighter. It's just in the Image --> Adjust menu. Try it out! It looks kewl!

Huh, how do you change the color of the warthog?

Oh, of course! ...but weren't we talking about Rembrandt and wood burning...?
Also, I appear to be on fire.

Sorry about the whole 'on fire' thing.

No problem. Happens all the time.

Oh god yes please.
Awesome work on this, too - Both technically and the design.

Thanks! Well, technically it's Sega's design, but I did tweak him to look more "Capcom"-ish. ^_^ I wish they really were making this game...

Don't sell yourself short here - I know what Midnight looks like, and you have made a lot of tweaks to his original design. And I think that those work out for the better indeed.

Oh, thanks! I guess I did change a few things--his chest isn't as exposed, knowing that Capcom tends to break their sprites down into basic muscle shapes, so it seemed like they'd forego the bones and crap. I also added more skin to his hands--realistically, his hands couldn't be ALL bone, because there'd be nothing to hold the bones together! Glad you like it, though!

Sega vs. Capcom would be great. Just make sure they include Jetta and Larcen.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes! I would definitely want Larcen in there--he's my favorite after Midknight! 
I'm still foolishly hoping that Sega will finally make the third installment of EC one of these days...

Wow, that's very amazing. I adore the style (plus the concept of course).

Thanks you! It's something I'd been thinking about since Marvel vs. Capcom came out! Yes, I have a sickness...

Thanks! He was my favorite character from the game--he's a scientist turned chemical vampire by a virus he created that mixed with toxic waste. Trust me, it was cool in 1995!

It's just a filter in Photoshop. I cheated!

Ha! ^_^ Well, I consider it cheating.

Two words: Fuck. Yes.
You gonna do illustrations like this for the other champions too? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaase? *Big Puppy eyes* I'd LOVE to see Xavier in this style!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ha, ha--thank you! ^_^
Weeeeeellllll.... I might be able to squeeze him in somewhere down the line, but I don't know how long it'd take before I get around to it!
By the way, I love your gallery! Always nice to see Eternal Champions art--and your strip is great!

Thank you so much! 
I should really get back to work on my comic.....ehehehe X,D
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You're welcome! I like how Midknight is Xavier's science buddy/sidekick! You found cool ways to have the characters interact. ^_^
It's always cool to find other people who can appreciate how sweet that game is!

It's good to see one of the Eternal Champions back

Thanks! I loved that game--I wish Sega had done the third installment of it.

Did NOT see this coming. If only they'd do Nintendo vs Square Enix.

It seems like a totally obvious idea to do games like these! They already did SNK vs. Capcom! Why not keep it going with other companies?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Obvious? Well, yeah! But Capcom and. . Sega? I don't know if they'd have a vast array of powerful characters at their disposal for that. It's kind've like having Disney fight Square En--oh, wait. Then sure, Sega and Capcom are compatible.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ha! Well, yeah, and I'm a giant Sega nut, so I know all the characters they've ever made! 
Obviously you'd have the Sonic universe, Alex Kidd, Ristar, Shinobi, Altered Beast, Jet Grind Radio, Shen-Mu, Virtua Fighter, Eternal Champions, Fighting Vipers and even Last Bronx...... man, this is making me want this game even more now! I'd better stop.

LOL, I can understand doing the rendering. Taking the time to re-pixel over an image takes A LONG time. I'd but fun to work with those guys though, those games sell hot.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You mean actual game graphics? How does that process work, anyway? I'd love to actually animate Midknight sprites for Mugen or something! This one's just a pixelation filter in Photoshop.
Sega and Capcom are both very creative companies--a game like this would be totally sick nasty awesome!!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, when you actually make pixels, you have to manually build them - well, for the older ones. I think these days, they just make basic coloured models and animate them. For a little art hobby, I actually do pixels but never any large ones like these. I do smaller ones but to animate them, you can use Image Ready in Photoshop but you would have to build the animations. XD
No idea if any of that made sense.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ha, ha--I think it did! Yeah--I used DeluxePaint when I freelanced for Stern Pinball, and we had to build all the sprites pixel by pixel, then duplicate and animate. But I think Capcom used something in between--some of the art books had simple line art of the character frames that they'd probably scan and then add depth and color with the pixels. But as far as the actual process, I have no idea! At any rate, I miss Capcom's 2D fighting games...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I had a feeling they used something different. I think Guilty Gear does the same thing now. I wouldn't know, though, I know the retro stuff. XD
I miss sprite games too, though. That's the reason I stick to DS. XD
Really well done realistic games hurt my eyes sometimes. D:

Whew! Sorry for the delay--haven't been able to get on here much lately!
Anyway, yeah, I'm not sure, but that would make sense. I like 3D games, too, but I love the feel of hand-drawn (or sprite-drawn) animation--I think it's what sucked me into games in the first place!

Indeed, indeed, I would love to make a spriare-based fighting game like the good ol' days. *Sagely nod*

Totally! My brother's studying XBLA programming, so hopefully we can team up to make a game some day!

Hahaha! That would be awesome!

This indeed would be an awesome crossover!

I know! I've dreamed of it ever since they did Marvel vs. Capcom. There are so many cool characters from Sega's games to draw from!

Heck I'de even be happy with a new Eternal Champions game! I can only imagine a new one with the beautiful 2-D graphics of Guilty Gear or Blaze Blue!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know! They were supposed to do the third installment on the Sega Saturn, but Sega of Japan bumped it to promote Virtua Fighter instead. Sega of America was pissed, as well as all Eternal Champions fans!

HOLY SHIII-ot.
Submitting this to the club now, and inviting everyone there for pancake festoons too. :3
