Artist/animator, occasional music composer. IkemenGo enjoyer. Mostly post my passion game project here.

Another portrait for this series. This time Feliro. At some point I'll probs also do a pixel art styled render set of them too, but I'm having fun using these as a flow and speed practice project of sorts.

Random thing of Mango I did for no reason in particular.

[VinVulpis @VinVulpis]

Testing out allowing Mango to use his grab to snatch and pocket projectiles Villager(Smash) style. Still a lot to do here, but a good start. I will probably incorporate use of the projectile into what will eventually be his new power button Special.

[VinVulpis @VinVulpis]

@TheRealNetsu I really appreciate it. Thank you much. I'm tryin. <3

I've cut back a bit on the amount of coms I do, but I still do them too.

[VinVulpis @VinVulpis]

Projectile synergy time! Aurumo his PyroBurst special back after experimenting with other stuff. Wanted to start adding in fun gimmicks like this. Any of his fire-based normal/special used on his CryoSphere now turns it into a spray. His ice-based moves still don't effect it.

[VinVulpis @VinVulpis]

Fun fact: The current ice-spray hit sound was sampled from a streamer throwing a controller. I need to sample more of them for hit sounds. I think it's funny.

[VinVulpis @VinVulpis]

Was reluctant to give Feliro a projectile. Figure making it slow to use helps keep in check. (I let it OTG juggle extend). Feliro is Fox-Pikachu now.

Placeholder anims. Borrowed Aurumo's CryoSphere for the projectile.

He is pretty much figured out. Celebratory dash-dance.

[VinVulpis @VinVulpis]

Just realized I never shared this here. This is an idle I made for my character Svasha. I feel like there's a few things I coulda done a lil bit nicer, but I spent enough time on it for the time being.

[VinVulpis @VinVulpis]

@BazArtDump Yeah, this is a very old clip. It's been a hot minute since I popped the program open again. I know they made a lot of improvements, so I gotta tinker with it again soon.

[VinVulpis @VinVulpis]

About as far as my patience let me get in Smack Studio after a few hours picking at a Svasha model. My depthmaps keep resetting, I might not have fit my sprites correctly. 2 Crashes. My rig is a total mess. lol.

Still, I like what this seems capable of.

[VinVulpis @VinVulpis]

Been a hot minute, been focusing on life stuff a bit. But, I do live and have been quite well! Posted over on FA and some group chats. Figured I might as well break my silence here too.

So, here's a random practice digital painting of Shiren.

[VinVulpis @VinVulpis]

Furpocalypse was so much fun. Look at this neat pony jar I won at the MUGEN tournament!

[VinVulpis @VinVulpis]

I'm not 100% sure exactly how I will handle lanes. Will likely do 1 OR 2 (fully actionable) player lanes with some enemy-only/object-only lanes.

[VinVulpis @VinVulpis]

After much consideration and taking a burnout break, I think the system I will build the beat'em-up around is a fixed lane system, with controls built closer to what I originally designed around.

For special inputs, I may do a hybrid simple button/command input.

[VinVulpis @VinVulpis]

Being petty near Tail Island, Antarctica on wplace after my Tails drawing was grieved by erasing out his face. Drew a fat blunt in the mouth of the Tails loaf the griefer contributed too. Wish I screenshot that.

I now haunt & will retaliate with lawful-evil edits if grieved. >:3

[VinVulpis @VinVulpis]

Made a Shiren doodle on wplace. Not too far from my Jeibu doodle I showed earlier. Someone painted them eyes in there while her construction was like halfway in. Hahah

[VinVulpis @VinVulpis]

Slowly leaving my mark on wplace. No had no places on what to draw, just kinda running as I go.

[VinVulpis @VinVulpis]

Got most of the base code down for a replacement for the default lifebar system. Something more modular for beat'em-up purposes. The enemy target display is still a lil finicky but this is a good start. Gonna disable the default soon, probs just keep the timer.

[VinVulpis @VinVulpis]

Quick clip. Thrown enemies as projectiles working. Damage is based on the thrown enemy's "weight" constant.

[VinVulpis @VinVulpis]

@Fallen_Arts_ Funny thing is that I do intend to reference exactly that with another character, Zandur. Since the command structure change for beat'em-up, I'm probs gonna make it a charged move like in this, with an extra timed button press to "perfect" it for Zandur.

[VinVulpis @VinVulpis]

Some work Moving Aurumo over to the beat'em-up format. Pretty good start. Combo, charged attack, throws dummied up. Gave him Max rules for jumping while holding an enemy, rather than Gejhi's jump release.

[VinVulpis @VinVulpis]
