Well, Richter had a sword with him in the official art.

Uzo's Richter sprite seems like it was edited from Alucard's sprite.

Hey now, what do you take us for? We don't edit player characters. It's all 100% scratch.

Nice screen shot, but why is he holding a sword?  Shouldn't he be wielding the whip?

Well, Richter had a sword with him in the official art.

Exactly. It's a side arm, secondary weapon. Like SotN has 'two hands' system. This is the second attack button.

S**t Jorge, that's it! That's the sprite I snagged years ago. Good thing you put it up first as I can no-longer find it on my machine.

[Flame]

That Richter is pretty boss.

[Claimh Solais]

I like the one Jorge posted, but the thing that irks me is that Richter seems disproportionately muscular. It looks unrealistic. Serio's Richter has marshmallow legs in a lot of frames. I'd bring it to his attention, but he probably wouldn't give a rat's ass.

The reason I like Serio's over Sonic Reaper's is because he got rid of some of the barbarian-ness of the RoB rendition and made it more accurate to the bishonen style of SotN. Doesn't change the weird legs though.

Now Uzo's... That's probably the best Richter I've seen on the internet. And I've seen quite a few.

Rondo Richter certainly didnt have a barbarian look.

He looked much more modern. (compared to others in their time periods)

And didnt have a barbarian face either, but actually looked his age. (the anime style helped I imagine)

[Jorge D. Fuentes]

Yeah I don't know where you're getting that 'muscular' look.  His jacket is slightly oversized just like the SotN artwork, but it doesn't mean he's muscular (although he does indeed have muscles under there, since he's technically the same Richter as the Rondo of Blood one, only a few years older).

I'm speaking more from the point of the sprite. The massive-ness and such. And about the face... well, he doesn't have a face on his sprite.

Right, I worded that wrongly. I meant... it's just his shoulders are too broad. Most notably on this sprite:


Or maybe... I dunno. It also kinda looks like his arms are too big, especially compared to the legs.

Also just noticed the waist is a little too thin.

Not that I don't like the sprite. I think it looks rather cool. It's just a few things I'm pointing out.

[Flame]

The rondo sprite still isnt massive.

[Claimh Solais]

He's pretty massive. Look at those muscles.

[X]

He's a Belmont. He's supposed to have muscle mass if he's going to swing around a 6 foot, metal chain whip with a morning star spike ball at the end in quick succession (that was a mouthful). Richter's also a martial artist which would add to his physique and possibly the reason why he wears such an outfit. The reason why we don't see that in the SotN art is mainly that it's a different art style. Although the art is good with lots of detail (which I like), it doesn't show Richter nearly as realistic as they made him in Rondo. As a wielder of the Vampirekiller, a Belmont is going to have a definite build on him/her due to the heft of the weapon itself and through their intense training.

The problem I pointed out though was this: Sonic Reaper's Richter looks rather misproportionate. And I don't think Richter's whip is longer than his height.

I was never saying that it was bad that Richter was buff. I said that Sonic Reaper's was disproportionately massive. As in his upper half was much larger than the bottom. :\ And again, don't get me wrong. I like SR's Richter. Looks much better than what I can make (due to my inexperience at spriting).

Never said anything about not liking Rondo Richter.

Built like a fucking truck John Morris was...

"Ford tough" indeed.

No problem o. just wasn't sure what you meant, that's all  but yeah John Morris is huge! Just the type of guy to take down the supernatural!

You forgot about Chevie's "Like a Rock". Although I think both can fit the Morris bill quite well.
