This character was so much work.
It's another Demon Slayer character! This time, Hantengu. Hantengu is a character with a ton of different forms, as he can create various clones of himself: Urami, Aizetsu, Urogi, Sekido, Karaku, and Zohakuten. And while I WILL be creating all of those forms, and updating this thread with more characters, for now I have just created one of the clones: Zohakuten, the strongest clone.
Zohakuten has a massive sprite. He's actually a very short character, unlike Gyomei, who I posted earlier. But he rides a gigantic dragon kaiju. These dragons can also extend far from his main body. This makes his hitbox, by far, the largest one I will make in this series. Since the dragons move like snakes or tentacles, I had to make sure they looked organic too, so the sprite sheet ended up with a lot of movement. AND, Zohakuten has the combined abilities of Urogi, Sekido, Karaku, and Aizetsu, which meant 4 different energy attacks. In total, this one form has 230 different drawings. His sprite was so big that the placement of the energy blasts started becoming misaligned. I tried my best to fix it, but things might look a bit weird.
It's such a big sprite sheet, I'm not posting it here (unless somebody asks me to I guess). Here are some animations from Zohakuten:
I also created a second form for him, where you abandon the kaiju and fight in melee. This form loses defense, range, and types of attacks, but gains mobility. You can go back and forth between the two forms, however I know that the AI tends to glitch with these types of transformations, constantly switching between them and not charging energy properly. So, I would recommend using the editor to create separate versions of each form, if you want to fight against Zohakuten. Since this sprite sheet is more reasonable in size, I'll post it here:
Finally, all of Hantengu's clones have the ability to survive until Hantengu himself is killed. So, Zohakuten will automatically get his HP refilled when he is down to 20% of his HP left.
That is really impressive 😮
