Umm...that's FAR from the first time he's posted that...

You just want him murdered for posting it again, don't you?

Nah.

I actually used the other one as a wallpaper back when I first got this comp.

Too few posts for a custom title
Well, from what I remember of the comic (hey, I'll get around to reading the comic again some time...), the characters' sizes are based more on their sprites, not on what they'd be in, like, a cartoon. So as long as you're roughly around that size, you're good.

Then again, most characters like Megaman use their game sprites, but King Hippo uses his cartoon color and shape.

... Interesting observation... the comic usually ends up either explaining or at least highlighting the fact that the game characters look different from the cartoon characters...

Random sidenote: Maybe what Light meant by "Roll is... still functional" is that her Mega-Girl routines were taken offline, as he deemed them too dangerous--

What? King Hippo sprites? They're gorgeous.

Though, I'd be interested to see a "redux" of the bitch tits panel with the new sprite.

Gorgeous is not something you use to describe King Hippo. :P

Thanks, MFD!

Well, I have an almost-finished side view. (original near center, shrunken near bottom right) Tell me which one you like or what to change. Also, think of some pose ideas. :P

Suggested Poses:
Eating (since in the series he often "gets rid of" the wierd Eggplant Wizard veggie-sweat)
Drinking (since in the comic he's an alcoholic)
Surprised / Wounded (as if hit in the game / by Mother Brain, or shocked to see something)
Throwing a Punch (self explanitory)
Walking (also self explainitory)
Ashamed (hunched sholders, since in the comic he carries alot of guilt around)
Loungeing / Resting (another of Hippo's big actions within the series)
In costume/drag (another of Hippo's staples within the series)
Back facing view

If you need more details on these poses please let me know.

Suggested Changes
I only have two real issues with these sprites, the proximity of the eyes and the width. The pupils still seem too close on his blue incarnation, making it seem as if he has one large pupil. The close-eyes/low intellegence is perfect for the character, but they need just a bit more space. The height is fine, but the stomach seems too far out from the side view (but I love the celulose details), and the front facing I can't put my finger on how to trim it (maybe bring the legs closer togather...?).

As always, this is awesome work, thanks for sharing!

I'm really diggin' the Hippo sitting down pose, but the punch not so much. It's obvious that's it's just the big fist replacing the arm and forced perspective is doing all the work. Maybe a ripple effect on the flab would give it a sense of motion, but right now it just looks as if he's just pointing at you (which if that was what was intened, good job and sorry for the comments). In the sitting/shocked pose, is he on a bench or is the flat part part of his gloves (fingers)?

Er, the strand of hair that goes over the chest has some blonde in it...

Edit: Yeah, the punch is kinda... weak, sprite-wisee.

Well, front poses are flukes anyway because they're almost never used in sprite comics/animations anyway. The real punch will be to the side.
As for the sitting, yeah that's supposed to be his fingers. You can see the whole glove in the center part. It looked better before I put it on him. His legs block the rest of the hand.

And Zap... what are you talking about?

I was paged, accidentally responding to the previous page. Like baron'd, but much longer and the victims's fault instead of a nebulous entity.
As for the comment after the paged section, the punch LOOKS like a glove sprite pasted onto the base Hippo. It doesn't quite fit.

Yeah, the perspective sucks, but... I dunno, maybe i'll make an alternate. I added a little shading so it looks less odd.
