just something i'm working on..

[zye1984]

so i thought i'd express all my ideas for Jason Frudnick/Kane Gardner from Blaster Master/Meta Fight. First off, i want a mixture of most if not all the designs of him throughout the games, or rather, the suit he's wearing. (technically ALL the games feature a different character in their Japanese counterparts, but i'm mashing them all together with Jason/Kane. Kane is the japanese character for the orginal game before localization screwed up the story and made jason) Taking ideas from art scattered about, here's what i'm going for:

Armor--I want it to look like a mixture of BM1, BM: Enemy Below, and BM: Blasting Again. i am going to make it more BM1 heavy in design since that is classic and based off the Nintendo version instead of the lame-ish Genisis BM2 game and the PS1 Blasting Again game, as well as the newest; BM: Overdrive. I am, however, using BM2's jet pack. So to explain better, Heavy on BM1, BM:EB, with details from BM:BA, with aesthetics from BM2, BM:EB, and BM:BA.

Aesthetics--He'll have BM1's blaster and grenades that act like BM1's, EB's shotgun sub-weapon, Overdrive's grenade launcher for smash attack grenades, BM2's jet pack, and BA's napalm and energy..tackle? (he flies around as a wild blue energy ball, but in my version only once at an angle) Oh and bombs from Blaster Master Boy which is actually Bomber King, but i don't care! They did it i will too!

Characteristics--Hesitant to fight other people, but once he get's going he's hard to stop. Awful at jumping and jumping attacks, dominates on the ground. Slow runner, medium gravity, and strafes/side-steps for "dodge rolling." HEAVY reliance of his gun charge; the lower the faster and least powerful, the higher the more area controlled and powerful.

so here are the bits and peices on his design i plan to use:

Spoiler

the only thing i plan to use here is the idea of the backpack. the cylinders will act as his grenades by tugging them off, and the rest of it used as an energy source and jet pack. The gun is WAY too busy, but i do like the thinness if it on the barrel.

Spoiler

The basic design i'm going for, in the center. I'm using the support bar for his gun, but not that version of the gun, since it doesn't reflect the gun in-game that much. I'm using the bar because it gives some extra detail and recoil will be important in his play style. I'm using different coloration than this for the part on his chest, which is found in another pic, but you CAN see a green hue in this one just a tad. The chest piece will open and produce the napalm energy bombs. Also, and probably most important here, is the gun version on the bottom left of the top image. That's what i want to use, but with the bar as a support, and the middle handle in the inside instead of the outside to use as a pumping/charging mechanic. This gun reflects the gun in game a great deal, i feel.

Spoiler

this is basically a super simplified version of BA's suit which is below. I kinda want to use the arrow like angles on the red strip.

Spoiler

a nod to the original design, that is actually Jason in BM. I'm using the chest peice and shoulder armor.

Spoiler

This is Roddy, Jason's son, but what's important is the designs on the leg portions; I want to use that to a degree. Here is a look at the armor in 3D detail:

Spoiler

I don't want to use the HUGE shoulder armor, but a mix between the original design and this, and the leg portions as i mentioned.

sorry if this doesn't fit here, but i wanted to get what i had in mind out there. also, some pics didn't want to embed right, so i just provided the link
