Blanka Fighting Stick (recycle project)
SNAAKE:
you wanna use sprites from cvs2 blanka(well alpha3 had it first)
those look much better/cleaner and higher resolution. www.fightersgeneration.com for sprites.
kyoke:
You are a god among insects when it comes to original artwork opt2not! Love the effort you put into your projects!

Thanks, good reference.

It's interesting that you're taking such a fluid character and locking him into stills.
I can't wait to see how some of his more exaggerated movements come out in your art.

Yeah, I definitely need to lock down more of an action still. Something that feels dynamic, and fluid, but be captured into a single pose.
Thanks for the sprite sheet, but I already have it ;)

Thanks kyoke. Go hard or go home right? :lol
here's another blanka image I did. I'm going to have to decide on a direction soon, but for now it's all going towards ideas of what I'm going to end up with.
This one's more bestial, raaaaaage!!!
This is the only image I did since my last update. I would have continued, but I had to take a step back and work on something else...
so why not girls in short-shorts playing pacman? :lol
Can anyone guess what pinball game the girl posed in the second picture is from?

Ok, so here's a small update (again). Now that i have my evenings free from work, I can finish this thing off before I hit up my planned hardcore Robotron Restoration.
I've decided to go the pseudo easy route and take what I've already drawn up and put them together in a capcom-style character montage image:
The next step is to clean up the image, and start painting colours into it. I'm going to incorporate the new inked style that SF4 uses, mainly for action lines on the kick, roll and punch images. The middle Blanka image will be the electricity move, so there will be added electrical effects that i need to add. Another thing I need to do is make sure the faces are all consistent with each other. I did these images on the bus-ride home, so I didn't have any images to refer to other than the ones that were in my head :lol
This will be in the middle of the stick, and the clear buttons will have the artwork in them too so the image looks consistent throughout.
More to come soon.
Comments/Critiques welcome!

Gotta quickly finish this so I can concentrate fully on my cabaret resto.
Here's an update:
Got to work on the base finally. I started off by sanding up the surface to rough it up a bit for the primer and filler to stick better.
Wiped it down cleanly to remove any of the plastic particles.
The base had a few indented decals on it, the HORI name-place on the front, and the Start and Select button labels up top.
I filled them up with some filler, then sanded it down even with the surface.
After that I moved onto painting 3 coats of primer, and sanding in-between.
I then applied 3 coats Rustoleum Painterly Touch brand - lime green (closest I could find to Blanka's original colour).
Once dried I applied a few coats of clear just to make the surface a bit harder to scratch.
Here's a couple shots (w/ and w/o flash) of it with the LS-32. The balltop colour matches pretty close.
Though, there's a lot of yellow light in my workspace so you can't really tell how green it really is by these pictures, but in RL it's pretty nice.
Next up, I'm going to start wiring while I finish up with the artwork stuff. - That - is coming along slowly, but surely.
I have a fun little idea that I'll let you in on at a later time. ;) :cheers:
