Extra Boss Sprites

Taking a break from Sketch Tucker's sprites for a little bit, I tried my hand at an extra boss idea. The character is Kazuya, a friend of Sketch typically known for his pacifism. But he is a powerful Creation, and Sketch wishes Kazuya would willingly fight the good fight more often. It would require Sketch to prod at Kazuya's nerves before he'd even think of engaging in a sparring match, even. This, I'd believe, is how the situation of Sketch vs. Kazuya arises here.

Kazuya's sprite set and animations showcase a few of his moves. His first is the "Dragon Fire," summoning fireballs shaped like dragons. Then he shows how he can slam the ground to stun his opponents. then he shows off the "Phoenix Rush," where he charges himself up with flame and rushes swiftly in a straight darting trajectory before hitting something. Finally, he shows the "Dragon Meteor," were he readies a charged slam that sends fiery shockwaves in each direction from where he lands. Oh, and if you end up under him when he slams down with this move, don't expect to survive.

I mention these move names because they also exist in the realm of "The Utopian Legend." Another signature move of Kazuya's was not included in his sprite movelist; the "Burning Punch" is a flaming uppercut much like the famed "Shoryuken." It isn't planned because I figured he has enough to work with right here. :3

Strange as this seems, Kazuya somehow seemed more fun to make sprites of than Sketch, despite his larger size. Nevertheless, I won't neglect sketch and hope to get more of his animations dome. Kazuya,'s however, is relatively complete as a boss character. "Conversation" and "emotion" sprites are all I need now, I think.
