:blush: So, how long does it take to make one of those sequences, the last one, for instance?

It take a lot of time.
I'm having issues with the proportions and specially the head.
Guess it would work a lot better if I had the 3D model of Uran from the playstation 2 game, but I still need to wait till a friend work in the models for me.
I'm using footage of the anime and capturing them, so I work with my tablet and digital pen.
If you pay attention, it appears the characters have some mistakes in the proportions during the animations, for example: in one scene Uran's head looks bigger than the usual and in another her head is back to the normal size.
That may be used as a frame for Uran's turning animation:

This is a possible punch frame:

Toshio, I'm speaking as an ABO moderator - I can appreciate not having topics fly way off course . . . but we WERE talking about Uran. And - for what it's worth, I did ask you a question about how you created the animation, and you never responded.

And I think Muirtower did an excellent job on the shading.

Hmmmm - for what it's worth . . . would you consider animating Uran with jets? She SO deserves them!! :D

That topic is about a MUGEN Character, there is no point of ignoring the real context of the plot.

Did you read the title? It's talking about the anime versions of Uran?
Nope, it's talking about "Uran 2003, the mugen plan", so it's pointless ignoring the real objective.
If you ignore the project, then I'll lose track of everything O_O

Here is more poses:

That one could be used for a win pose:

As for your answer: I've used animget and then I cropped the frames.
In note: Depending of the animator her hands may look weird and sometimes her head have different sizes.

So, when you're capturing the frames, there may lack of consistence when you take frames from different episodes.
The digital pen and corel 9 were used in progress.

As for voices, I'll use samples of the japanese version.

But, in some win poses she could talk in english or portuguese/Brazil for a laugh.

I'd preffer my Uran without jets, thanks^^

I do not care if she had for a while, but it's best to make your own thread about her having jets, it's not what I wish to discuss here.

Anyway, if I just get off-topic here and no concern about, then I'll waste my time posting my progress.

That's very rude :(

It's one thing to ask for people's opinions, but another entirely if you are not interested in hearing their suggestions.

Guys, I'm very sorry for what I said.
But, then again I wasn't meant to change subject and talk about the 1963 series, it doesn't interest me.

The 1963 series weren't available, so it would not be used as reference, but as the title said it's Uran 2003.

It would be frustrating if I keept submiting concept art, but you guys keept talking about the episodes of the 1963 series which will don't be used as reference.

Please understand:

  • I was talking about a project for mugen.
  • I wasn't talking about atributes of the previous 1963 series Uran.
  • I wasn't talking about episodes from the 1963 series of Uran.
  • I wasn't talking about the jets of the 1963 Uran.
  • I wasn't talking about adding jets for her in my project.

To conclude:
I don't wanted to have people talking about something which I cannot watch and neither I want to use for the project, so if you guys talked about the episodes of the 1963 series or how Uran was on way back, then it would not help me.

What'll be used:
  • Standing animations.
  • Turning (Stand and crouch).
  • Jumping animations (forward or back).
  • Roll (forward or back).
  • Running animations.
  • Guard.
  • Win pose.
  • Introduction (include special introductions against other characters).
  • Taunt.
  • Special moves.
  • Throw.
  • Hit animations.
  • Victory quotes.

@AprilSeven, these are frames captured with AnimGet:

All I need is to use my digital pen.

I'm taking footage of the 2003 series and the hardest part so far was the walking frames which I had to resize many times and it's the final result:

Image

The head may be a problem, for what her head seems to vary in size which may make things confusing.

I just wish to use content and footage of the 2003 series, there is a topic of the 1983 Uran series too.

What will this entail, out of curiosity?

For example, she have a special introduction with Atom or Roll.
The introduction could have dialogues between characters.

It could be humorous a introduction which she argue with the other Uran for example.

It could be used for hit animations:
