Originally she was a project started by .Batzarro. that was a spriteswap of Poison. I had always wanted to do an Ivy character and approached .Batzarro. for a team up. He showed me what he had done and I saw potential. I decided to revamp her so that she was no longer a sprite swap, that she uses many bases other than Poison (only the hair is now from her) and that she was made sexier.
.Batzarro. will be helping me with the new sprites to get her done faster. We aim to bring justice to this femme fatale of the Batman series.

I was wondering if that Ivy in your Avatar was just one sprite or an actaul Character, and now I know.

Her thighs are not too chunky, looks like they want a more comic book genuine apprence then the anorexic look from New adventures of batman and robin.
Post by: .Batzarro. on May 21, 2009, 10:14:45 PM
No coder as of yet, but I would assume a template will be used in any case. :)
I am not trying to be funny, but is she going to have a intro where she makes out with Harley Quinn? I'm not too familiar with DC comics, but I saw Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn kissing in a Batman comic.
I'd say we absolutely positively need to see that in Mugen. Same goes for Batgirl and Supergirl. :-[

I really hope they don't change her into that skinny a$$ version from the new adventures... That look is awful! And apparently comic writers know what real women are supposed to look like. Take a look at Mary Jane from spiderman in the comics. She's like 100 times hotter than any cartoon version ever! Women ain't meant to be tooth picks. They are to be nice and curvy! That's what makes them women! So YES!! I hope they keep up this look for her. SHE'S A WOMAN!!!

Can you be more specfic about the face please. Is it all the sprites or just a few. And the thighs seem bigger than they are due to the size of her waist. Ivy is a curvy woman and needs shape to her.

Don't worry, she won't be changing into that elf that they made her into. If anything she looks more like the Batman:The Animated Series, the older versions where she looked more human.
are u going to have a voice actress for her? or are u going to try to rip voices?
I have a lot of her voice ripped from Batman:TAS as that is the voice I think of when I picture Ivy. In fact that show created the perfect voices for many characters.
Perfect sprites man, she's gona be a sweet character. ^:)^
Thanks very much! Let's hope that me and Zarro can achieve that
Super Sexy, I can't wait to see more. =P~

I realized what was with the face I didn't think was right, her eyelashes are way too big. Can you streamline them down a bit? Also I think the hair is a little too long.
On further inspection, I don't want her to be a skinny stick either, just not have muscles like R Mika :-)

Excellent, her voice was perfect in BTAS. Also check out Gotham Girls (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gotham_Girls#Flash_animation_series), a flash webcomic which starred the female characters. Some great opportunities for some voices there too, with minimal music. They are all still hosted at Warner, just click on the links under each season.

Picture 2 against Harley is what I think is perfect for her. She just needs to be a little more beige for skin color, and the hair a bit darker, with a forest green outfit.
And that is what a palette is for. That can be changed at anytime

I like them the way they are. And they can only be narrowed horizontly, and I will not make them smaller than the eye. And the like the way her hair is, wild and untamed like nature. Plus using Poison's hair just makes things so much easier

She doesn't and if you actually look at R Mika's sprites, she has no muscle definition so she appears quite fat. Ivy has slight definition. She really ought to be rather physically fit.

As a huge DC fan of the past present and future DC is a tremendously lesbian friendly Universe with over a half dozen female hero's, and villians leading a bi-or lesbian life. However Harley, and Ivy were not. It was a just a cutesy girl power thing for fun and shock value they pulled. Harley currently lives with a Lesbian, and Harley is still straight.
Then why were they kissing, unless they were doing it for show to make people think they are lesbian?

Basically they probably did it for shock value for the fans of the comic or shock value for fans and if they were fighting someone at the time it took place. I don't actually read comics so im speculating on those 2 parts.
But On-topic looks really good can't wait to see more progress.

Wow good luck guys on her. She look great...even if she should be a bit much tiny like Poison in my opinion.
Thanks, although the only part of Poison is the hair. Apart from that and the blowing a kiss, everything is different. Ivy is quite shorter than Poison as well. I think it'll be quite hard for her not to appear like Poison due to the hair, but it just makes everything so much easier. But once you get past that you will see that she is rather different!

I'm looking forward to this game so much! I'm not too sure on the outfit, but she still looks great! One thing though, that video says she is 5'8" and I thought she was 5'6" due to the DC Wiki, which has now changed stating she is 5'9". I actually quite like her voice in this game as well, but it reminds me so much of someone but I'm not sure who....seems like a cross between Uma Thurman and Diane Pershing but it works!
Now this proves a problem. I have made Ivy 5'8" wearing heels, as I believed her to be smaller. Do you guys thinks she looks a good size? She is wearing heels though which does make her seem taller....... ~X(
Well as long as she's not too short or tall then that's fine. I may manually resize a few sprites, nothing too major though

That was my first thought when I seen this WIP . " Why the hell is she so tall " I just didn't want to say anything . But since you brought it up , yeah I think she is way too tall . Ivy is kind of like a little wood nymph . That's the way I fondly remember he being depicted .
Whatever you do with her . Carry on . I'm hard to please when it comes to Batman characters . lol

But if she is officially 5'8" then is she not a good size wearing heels? She is the same size as CVS Chun Li who is 5'8" without heels.
As long as she's not any taller than that then I'm happy.
The size on her is perfectly fine. I don't see any reason to make her smaller or taller. I know they also messed around with Harl's size and weight too, so I really think it's no biggy at all. If you're bothered by it though, then go ahead and make her smaller. Either way, looks good. :)
I was thinking the same, just wanted to make her the correct size. I was fine with her size until I saw that trailer saying her height...so I think I'll keep it as it is.

That Solomon Grundy design is plain bad @ss. Sucks for me though, as I did this design awhile back for Grundy when I was thinking about WIPing him.
(http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c395/GonnaBurnInMyLight/Sprites/SolomonGrundy01.png)
Just Thanos with an edited Hulk head. Was happy with this one but when I tried other sprites for him, the base just wasn't working anymore at all. So, I gave up on it. If I'd of seen your design then, I would of definitely tried him further. Feel a bit dumb that Victor never came to mind for a base though, as that seems pretty obvious now. o.O#
In any case, maybe giving Ivy a Grundy hyper would be great. Could definitely test the waters for a future WIP here. Though it's Dead-X's call as I'm more then happy letting him take full creative control on her. :)

Thanks for the ideas ANC. I've never thought about using Grundy in a hyper and it's certainly something worth looking into. And thanks for that link. I've used that site before but I could never remember the link.
Grundy makes more sense. Dr Holland is one of the most powerful majical creatures in the DCU/Vertigo Universe. He's more an avatar for the green than an elemental at present. Now Grundy being summoned from the ground ripping out of roots, or vines would look bad azz. I think I like Zarros face on his edit
Well that certainly does sound rather nice. It's definitely making me consider using Grundy. Once I get the basics finished then Batz and myself will get busy with the rather wide range of specials and hypers that she can have.
Right now my focus is on finding or frankenspriting unique bases for her basic attacks. I can only use CVS Chun for so many of them.... however for the past and next week I am unable to do anything due to my inability to have access to my PC, and I am currently borrowing a friends laptop.
Post by: A New Challenger on June 14, 2009, 08:46:25 PM
All the same, way I see it she only needs 2 punches, 2 kicks each for standing crouching and air. HP and HK would be a wave of her arm and some sort of plant elemental attack, HP being horizontal, HK being vertical.
Given that, Chun would probably be enough.
Post by: TomBewley on June 14, 2009, 08:58:15 PM
I wanted to leave plant attacks for special attacks and leave basic attacks as simple punches and kicks, but it would make things easier.... and it would certainly would allow good use of some of the plant sprites that I have.
At the moment basic attacks are a mix of Chun and Rose (with a few others thrown in, but these are the main edits) giving her a graceful feel. In fact, I can think of the perfect motion for that wave of her arm, albeit it's from a base that I really don't like editing. Well when I get access to my computer again I'll have a play around a see what takes my fancy as to what direction I'd like to take her.
Thanks for the comments and advice as well, I really appreciate it :)

She'll be done when she's done. It's kind of hard to put an estimate on these sort of things when who knows what will happen in the future. However I have just found a new fantastic base that will surely help speed her along

Now you may see in the 3rd picture Ivy wearing a different costume. For one of her intros she has a costume on from her past (or even a new one) before changing into the I am using. So I'm proposing a little chance for some of you to contribute your own costumes for Ivy's introduction.
Here is the base sprite
(http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/8515/npose.png) (http://img268.imageshack.us/i/npose.png/)
Just add your costume and erase the body so that only the costume is there (makes it easier for palette reasons). This means that there is no specific palette for you to use, so go crazy guys!
Do you have the voices from Gotham Girls or do you still need them?
I've got all the ones I want/need, but thanks for the offer

looks excellent!! perhaps you could take poison's death kiss (poison from Marvel vs Capcom 2) and incorperate that into Ivy since she had a poison death kiss in the comics
I assume you mean Poison from SF3, and way ahead of you

Resized and reshaded to match up with Ivy! I was hesistant to use Poison due to the people believing that Ivy was simply Poison in a new outfit, but this move is too good to give up
keep up the good work man, need any help with anythin make sure u let me kno. i havent worked on a character in a while n i would love to help

I did originally have this issue, but then I realised Ivy's other powers other than plant control, which already allows for a few moves. She has toxikinesis as well as pheromone control which allows for moves that poison the enemy or stun them. I think these allow for several specials and hypers. Just gotta try and stay away from lots of helpers and summonings

I want to stay away from using Poison as much as I can. Without looking properly at the sprites some people will simply think she is a Poison copy when she is far from this. In fact only the kiss and hair are from Poison. I want Ivy to be known as her own unique character.

Butterflies/Flower from BB.Hood
(click to show/hide)
Moves you could make for Poison Ivy
(click to show/hide)
And another idea I had in mind for her...it would be sooo cool if Poison Ivy could be "catched up" by a big leaf that grows from the ground instead of falling down on the ground.

Thanks for the reply, now I will sit down and start waiting again )
And hey, I've saw some pretty interesting plant-stuff sprites in Arcane Heart character named Kamui , I think this sprites might be useful to you mate.
Hope we will celebrate the release very soon! Can't wait for this...

Here is a Jim Lee inspired costume in response to your request for opening sprites. Feel free to modify it as you see fit if something looks off about it.
I don't know if this has been mentioned and I don't want to frustrate you but, you should look into Storms hair it has a much more wild feel to it.

No that is a nice sprite....if only all mine looked like that! Haha, you've really made me want to go over all her sprites and try to copy that style!
I'm also curious as to whose legs you used for that sprite?
I like the Storm's hair idea, and I mean really like it. I may look into that a bit more, but seeing as how far the sprites are along this may prove difficult, plus it'll involve some more scratch work due to the length.
But damn man, that is some nice stuff.......hmmmm, check your PM

Here is a quick Alex Ross Justice style, quick because all you have to do is put the ivy vines on it.
To answer your question about the legs, not to discourage you but your anatomy is off slightly, the bottom part of the leg you did is a little thick. The Jim Lee one I did I first tried adjusting it but, then used a reference photo and redid some from scratch. I adjusted the left breast(on the right) too yours hangs a little too low for her to have her arms up. Also the underarm that we see, I adjusted so it comes off of the breast to the shoulder and defines the bottom of the arm.

In any case, X, I'd keep going with the Ivy design you got now and finish her. If you still really want this design, you can save it 'til once you're done and that way people could choose their preferred design (if not keep both, I know I wouldn't pass that up). :)

I know it's been quite some time since I lasted posted anything regarding Ivy, and she was supposed to be a lot further along than she is. However real life happens, but I'm back now.
Just thought I'd show her new and final look. Nothing exciting in terms of screens though, as nothing is coded apart from a few basics.

Along with the palette separation that she uses in order to create a variety of looks, both classic and modern.

E.g. (just some quick ones, some are keepers, some are not)

And yes, Ivy does seem to have quite a firm stomach, but that is the way that Jim Lee drew her, and with this new look she does have quite a Jim Lee vibe to it (plus classic elements such as the gloves and boots)

Me likey the new look. The palettes are pretty cool too. Hell, even the smart pal colors look good. =P
I'm glad! I like to think she's come quite some way since you started her and what was originally planned. Couldn't have done it without you, so thanks.
looks great I like the firm stomach I've been trying to acheive that with scarlet witch since I first saw yours. keep up the good work. and some don't like the face plants but I say keep those too
Ivy's all about the abs :cool
It's just a case of looking at other characters, such as Marrow. I used her as an initial method to getting a firm stomach. Yeah the vines on her face are staying, I quite like the Jim Lee vibe she has. Plus it makes her more in touch with nature!

So here is my dilema. Do I restart Ivy? If so I'd probably tackle her in a different manner mind, probably a more modern look. But I did lose over 250 sprites of her. I'm just not sure if I want to go through it all again. Well I guess it teaches me a lesson for not backing up my harddrive....
Annoyingly I also lost a few other things I was working on that included a possible future project. Not sure I have the motivation now to redo things.

Ok guys, I have a huge issue here. Sent my computer on for repairs last week as it was basically completely ruined. Got told he would back my data up and do a clean install. I got my clean install however not all my files were saved. The only two folders that were backed up and put back on my PC were my music and my Uni work. So that means I've lost all my Mugen stuff including sprites. I'm really ticked off about the whole thing! :(

Have you thought about contacting esn, and maybe coming up with a design you both like? Having he, and yin help you could make a big difference. Esn takes his time, and doesnt rush things so you guys would certainly have time to get Ivy off the ground. I am sure some stuff posted online could help add to the reboot.
I know thats a big loss, but were willing to help if you still have the desire. Maybe take a few days to let it set in and see how you feel.

As for restarting Ivy, that's on you. I'd personally understand if you just said screw it and moved on to another character. If you do decide to restart Ivy though, I'd love to do a few concepts going back and forth with you to see what look might work this time around. PM me if you're interested.

I am annoyed that I was told l my files would be backed up when half of them clearly weren't! But at least my PC is working again I guess and some of my files are safe.

:DxDie
All kidding aside
Been there, gone through it & gave up on remaking all those sprites for the character.
I would definitely understand if you gave up. Good luck with whatever you decide

Well I do want to do a Poison Ivy character, she is one of my favourites after all. Otherwise I would just move on. Once I reinstall all my programmes etc then I'll have a play around Batz and send you a few things.Sounds good, man. Hit me up whenever. I know it took me weeks before I even got into spriting again once I lost a lot of data from my comp.

I know this is after the fact but you know you can get a portable HDD for like $50.00. I had the same problem late last year but it was OK because I backup everything important. If you start over BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP

And yes, will be backing up from now on!
Well, best of luck restarting.
Thanks. Reason I didn't want to work with Esn is because he (she?) already has a set mind for what they'd like for Ivy and have already made a start. My spriting style and view of Ivy is somewhat different and with Esn wanting to go for a more classic approach and me wanting a more modern approach it would harder to incorporate all elements in. But a little friendly competition never went amiss!

Anyway it's something to keep in mind. Everyone just wants to support your efforts is the main thing.

Just found a sheet you sent me with it looks like her walk, stance, jumps a standing gethit and some basics... it's not much but it might help you on the road to recovery? Let me know if you need it.
ANC with a quick save.
