I just wanted to post this to share with you all a project that is open for anyone willing to help. I call it the Zoukrel project.
-----WHO IS ZOUKREL?-----
His full name is actually Zoukrel-03. Reason why is because there were other Zoukrel creations that came before him. Zoukrel is a clone of Akuma who has the same abilities of almost every boss type character known to the Capcom universe.
Surprisingly enough about Zoukrel, he does not speak Japanese like Akuma. He only speaks english, he's a teenager (about the age of 16), and although he has almost every evil power source known to the Capcom universe, he is not as evil as he seems.
Although he sounds tough and dangerous, he actually acts that way to try and protect the other Zoukrels that came before him. Zoukrel-00 (nicknamed P.T.) has the same abilities as Evil Ryu, but he's stuck as a kid and he is unable to perfect the shun goku satsu. Zoukrel-01 (nicknamed Numbuh One) for some strange reason ended up with the same abilities as Dan & Sean, and he's gained a fear of mice. And Zoukrel-02 (nicknamed Twozie) has the same abilities as Evil Ryu, Violent Ken, and Shin Akuma, but it came out as an old woman and due to the fact that the Zoukrels cannot age, she is very weak.
The reason why Zoukrel wants to protect the failed Zoukrels is because he feels that they are like family to him. P.T. is like a little brother to him, Numbuh One is like an uncle, and Twozie is like a grandmother.
Although he takes orders from Sadler, he does not like Sadler very much because he keeps talking about killing P.T.
-----WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO FOR THE ZOUKREL PROJECT?-----

Now you don't have to do all of these. Just do the ones you think you can do and if it's excellent, I'll use your sprites for when I start working on Zoukrel and give you credit. I don't know when I'll be working on Zoukrel, but it certainly won't be anytime soon.
-----I DON'T KNOW ALL OF THESE CHARACTERS AND I FIND SOME OF THESE IMPOSSIBLE TO DO. ARE THERE CERTAIN CHARACTER YOU WANT ZOUKREL TO HAVE THE SAME ABILITIES AS?-----
Yes. There are only 8. And those 8 are Shin Akuma, Evil Ryu, Violent Ken, Gill, Jedah, Scion, Scumocide, and Valgas. The first six because that's what I had in mind before and the last two because parts of their design is being used for Zoukrel's design. That's why in his pic, Zoukrel has a halo over his head (Because of Scumocide) and his center beed is red (Because of Valgas).
But that doesn't mean I want everyone to just focus on those 8 characters. I want to try and give him as many abilities as we can. I mean I defanetly would like to give him that energy draining ability that Warlock (From Cyberbots) has and that projectile dodging ability that Wesker (From Resident Evil) has. Just do what you think you can do.
-----WHAT TYPE OF GRAPHICS SHOULD THE EFFECTS BE?-----
Defanetly not high res. I know the effects in CvS2 are high res, but this is not for CvS2. This is for Zoukrel, and the game that he's in is similar to Street Fighter III: Third Strike.
-----DO WE HAVE TO COLOR THE EDITED AKUMA SPRITES THE SAME WAY YOU COLORED ZOUKREL?-----
No. You don't have to unless you really want to. But if you're not gonna color them the same way I colored Zoukrel, then at least color him like CvS2 Akuma or CvS2 Shin Akuma.
-----ARE WE ONLY ALLOWED TO JUST USE CVS2 AKUMA SPRITES FOR THIS PROJECT?-----
No. You can use whatever sprites you like. But be sure the character sprites is still CvS2 Akuma. You can use any other effect sprites that you need, but the character must still look like CvS2 Akuma.
-----DO WE HAVE TO ADD THE HALO TO THESE SPRITES?-----
No. Don't add the halo please.
-----IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT YOU WANT TO INCLUDE BESIDES JUST THE SAME ABILITIES AS ALMOST EVERY BOSS TYPE CHARACTER?-----
Yes. Because of the fact that Zoukrel is suppose to sound and act cocky, I would like to give him the same intros and victory poses as CvS2 Ryu and CvS2 Ken (Not their evil counterparts). I would also like him to have the same taunt as CvS2 Ken. I would also like to give him the following abilities from SF3TS Akuma.
-Tenma Kuujin Kyaku
-Hyakki Shuu
-Hyakki Gouzan
-Hyakki Goushou
-Hyakki Gousen
-Hyakki Gousai
-Hyakki Goutsui
-Messatsu Gou Rasen
-Kongou Kokuretsuzan
The abilitiy I would really like to give him out of all of these is the Kongou Kokuretsuzan.
There are other things that I would like to give him, but I don't want this project to be too hard on everyone.
-----WHAT TYPE OF FORMAT DO YOU WANT THESE SPRITES IN?-----
Either gif or png. But mostly png.
-----WHEN'S THE DUE DATE?-----
There is no due date yet for this project. But when I'm gonna start on Zoukrel, I'll make a due date. Until then, there is no due date. Just take your time.
Well that's just about it. Be sure to tell as many people as you can about this project and I wish all you sprite editors/creators luck.
