Some of these have new pics not found in the &#8220;Latest&#8221; section, so look around if you have the time. There are some older pictures I didn&#8217;t add before now because they weren&#8217;t game-related enough and I didn&#8217;t want to crowd out the video game characters here. I even added a few shots I took of those background rocks I made when I was working on them in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>I say it&#8217;s the first step because I&#8217;ve also been slowly working on a rewrite of the custom sprite and sprite gallery systems, and the next upgrade of the Toyboss section will be based on that rewrite. It&#8217;s been a side project, so it&#8217;s going to be a long while before it&#8217;s ready. Nowhere near as big as the recent Spriters Resource update, but it&#8217;ll let me do a few new things.<\/p>\n<p>Custom Sprites:<br \/>\n&#8211; <a href=\"customsprites.php?g=gijoe\">G.I.JOE<\/a>: Stalker gets a new pose and an update of his 2017 sprite to match the new pose. The new pose uses the same standing body as the sprite&#8217;s in June&#8217;s update, but with a new rifle-holding right arm. There might be even more changes later as I keep redoing G.I.JOE sprites (especially the males in the Original 13 squad) using this base body and changing other to match it.<br \/>\n&#8211; <a href=\"customsprites.php?g=princessofpower\">Princess of Power<\/a>: I made some adjustments to the She-Ra sprite, but don&#8217;t be surprised if I make more adjustments later.<\/p>\n<p>The new customs sprites were added to <a href=\"gfxgen_fightsize.php\">the main image generator<\/a>. Also added to that are:<br \/>\n&#8211; End &#8211; Marvel vs. Capcom 384&#215;224: new option to use the G.I.JOE Konami arcade font.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also been working on sprites and animations for different clips, especially <A HREF=\"promo\/pixelartpreview_villagerun20250828.jpg\">this one<\/A>. There may be a new multi-topic video on the YouTube channel in September, depending on how things go.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>This is perfectly on topic, because I&#8217;m still in shock at this announcement. Here&#8217;s the video for those of you who don&#8217;t know yet:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/kNSf7uUlvKM?si=WlbLEOa0ZUtND8cC\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Not only does this look amazing, it looks like it has solid game play, too. A Masters of the Universe beat &#8217;em up with hints of Golden Axe in the play style is pretty much a dream game for me, so I&#8217;m already hype about it! <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/3749580\/HeMan_and_the_Masters_of_the_Universe_Dragon_Pearl_of_Destruction\/\">The Steam page<\/a> for it is already up, so you can put it on your wishlist.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>edit:<br \/>\nThe pre-September <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arcadequartermaster.com\/\">Arcade Quartermaster<\/a> update is brought to you by the letter R and the company Sega!
