I purchased a small subscrpition today for one purpose:

To express how freaking cool, *Dragon-Kiss is.

He recently did a little expose on DA's stock community, and i have to be very honest here. I am not only really impressed with the amount of stock that this artist has gone through and manipulated, I'm astounded by his ability to tell a brief story in each image as well as give a playful jest at the stock community as a whole.

So please, take the time to view these images, and find all the fun little treats that *Dragon-Kiss has crafted for us.

I might think of something.

No studio for now.
So no more stock for a bit.
Seems to be the trend.

C'est la vi.

SUPER STOCK FIGHTER II TURBO HYPER DEATHMATCH ALPHA PI DA-EDITION Ver.13 1/2

Okay you can thank ~Slylock-Stock for inspiring me to do this.

I have been playing A LOT of fighting games recently. Not sure why, maybe my internal clock realizes that Street Fighter IV is on the horizon and I am instinctively picking back up the older games to get into the groove of mastering 2D fighting.

Side note: I can not wait to play as El Fuerte [link]

So I issue a sort of a massive collaboration to all the stockers out there, and a challenge as well. Create a fighter. Create their moves (sprite sheet) and upload it. Send me a link, and I'll collect them on a character select list.
Who knows, this could then turn into a contest where the only prize is the title of Super Stock Fighter Champion, a title that is sure to be coveted amongst all stockers.

Don't know what a sprite sheet is? Look here: [link]

Create your very own stock fighter (ie:Custom character)! Are you one of the character's in your previous stocks? Or something entirely new and never before done?

Things to include:
Character select portait
Character select stance
Intro Taunt
Victory Pose
Defeate Pose
Victory Portait
Moves

BONUS:

Things to do if you wanna look cooler
-Go over the top
-Submit a character ID similar to those pixel IDs that where all the rage a while back :thumb61928891:
-Multiple costumes
-originality




FaQ:
-I have multiple people that do stock on my account...
Let 'em join, the more the merrier.

-When do I need to have this done?
We are all busy, so you have until February.

-Why should I do this?
Cause it's awesome.

-Does it have to be fighting moves?
Of course not. If you have crazy move ideas, DO THEM!

-Any tips?
Make your character symmetrical that way you don't have to take twice the photos!

-Did you contact all my favorite stock artists?
Probably, not (I did spam quite a few though). So let them know about this!

-Can we take moves form other fighting characters?
Yes, but add your won flair.

Is likely to happen soon...that will involve all of your favorite stock artists (unless they wuss out).

I'm excited. Hopefully it can get pulled together.
