[Sprites] Weapon hand templates

[Uboa]

It makes me remember Cold As Hell SE. Looks nice, but the position seems a bit weird, I dont know. o.õ

Yeah, it's my first hand-drawn weapon.

EDIT: I may add some more hands to that really large master sheet, as I see fit. If anybody has any more hands they'd like to post, feel free. Also, editing the first post with the Master Hand Sheet wouldn't be a bad idea either.

Also, I've been fiddling with Brutal Doom's "middle finger" sprite. It's hard recoloring a black glove when you're not using a palette.

[Uboa]

Double-posting for glory. I should be so ashamed.

Anyway, I've gotten around to updating the sheet. I ripped all of the hands from Demon Eclipse, including the tediously extracted pistol hands. I've also hand-ripped the Strife hands, putting in some edited pistol hands I found and the hands from the Thrasher sheet. Enjoy. (I might also add that I painstakingly de-flamed the cleric hands on the Hexen section of the sheet.)

Hyperlinked for large size.

EDIT: Link edited to include some new sword swinging hands and an extended cleric hand.

Did this topic die?

[wildweasel]

It technically can't, as it's pinned.

[Uboa]

It technically can, since nobody's posted on it. It's a zombie thread. Dead, but still there.

[insightguy]

well since this was bumped, may i ask if anyone made a black finger less gloves sheet (w/o sleves)

In the smudge stage right now...

God I hate Duke3D's shading.*

*On certain hands.

[Blox]

Well the hands sure are way too bright in D3D.

[NeuralStunner]

Duke is a white bread American cracker badass redneck gun jockey nerd. Are we surprised?

That sprite looks fine to me. But then again I may be notoriously unpicky!

[Blox]

I'm talking about the highlight oversaturation, or however you'd call it.

Imagine taking a picture of something dark in broad daylight with a normal camera, if you manage to wrestle it into taking the dark part properly, everything else will be way too bright.

[Minigunner]

Eh, I think I fudged it up enough. Also made use of the arm on my reload hand.

Well the hands sure are way too bright in D3D.

Actually, I was pointing out that certain hands (pistol hand, pipebomb hand) apparently have the light source behind them, leading to large blotches of dark (and of course, the bright-as-hell outlines).
EDIT: Reshaped the glove wrinkles on the wrist to make the arm look less flat. Silly Doom pistol hand...

After much trial and error, here's a more contrasted version:
Edit: Fingermuck begone!

Edit: I sure am nitpicky, I went through something like 10 additions to the original finger fix.

[Minigunner]

Thanks; it really needed that after all the "corrections" I made. It's difficult trying to make a decent contrast that is neither to cartoony nor too bland.
And then I decided to brighten the highlights a little and put the sprite in paletted form (with more tweaking afterwards):

GraphicsGale does pretty good at converting truecolor images to a palette, granted the existing color scheme is similar enough.

Ah, that looks nice. It did need that after all. I'll put it on the Master Hand Sheet when I get around to it.

My edit's starting to look right style-wise.

I've really enjoyed working on this edit and I may attempt to give cleric hands to all the doom weapons. idk
