[Request] Mugshot faces for WolfenDoom (BoA) characters

[Tormentor667]

Dear ZDoomers,

I have now a little request where I hope someone can help me with as it is definitely a thing I can't do on my own. I am just not skilled enough for such a thing. For my project WolfenDoom - Blade of Agony i have a INTERMISSION map where your allied comrades brief you, sell you stuff or give you hints. This is planned to work in a combination of Strife Dialogue and HUDMessage scripts to give a full interactive experience. I have finished my friendly chars as of now, the only thing what is left ot have are

• Mugshots for the HUDMessage Dialogues (with 2-3 extra frames making him talk)
• Full Drawings for the Strife Dialogues

I hope someone can help me with this request. This is what I have now (from left to right)

• An imprisoned tortured allied agent, around 40 years, brown hair, blue eyes
• An scientist agent working in disguise, around 70 years, white hair, goggles, bald hair
• A generic marine soldier, around 30 years old
• Another generic marine soldier, around 30 years old
• A bureau worker, around 30 years old, bright-brown hair, blue eyes
• General/supervisor, around 50 years old, black hair with grey parts, experienced veteran
• "Dirty Darren", agent in disguise, mustache, rough face, around 40 years old, experienced veteran, black hair, brown eyes
• A black person, responsible for equipment and weaponry, around 30 years old, black beard, black hair, brown eyes
• Another agent (a traitor, maybe visualize this somehow), brown hair, dark eyes, around 30 years old

The last image is just an example of the BJ mugshot so you have a feeling where this is leading to. I hope someone is capable of helping here out, would be a great addition to the mod and I promise that this is not going to waste

Thanks!

Again, Torm: requests go to the Resources forum!

(edit) Uh...also, could I convince you to not use the Weasel sprite? That's something of a personal avatar sprite, and I'm not comfortable with it being used in this way.

[Tormentor667]

Sorry, me = idiot!

And yes, no problem, i am going to remove it

Try sending SoloSpaghetti a nudge. He might be able to help you out.
Dunno what he's up to these days.

Another agent (a traitor, maybe visualize this somehow), brown hair, dark eyes, around 30 years old

Is that... "John Someguywitharevolver"?

[Tormentor667]

Currently trying to solve it on my own by editing the original BJ mugshot...

SoloSpaghetti hasn't been around since August last year, unfortunately.

I tried my hand at the prisoner mugshot so far:



The talking animation looks pretty good in action. I feared it wouldn't!

[Tormentor667]

Awesome Morladim thanks alot. Next to Darren (the one with the beard), I have also finished the base sprite for the General and the Black guy, will Upload it tomorrow, maybe you can add the talking animation for these as well?

[Mor'Ladim]

I can do all of the mugshots with talking frames, if you wish. Though, I see I need to edit the prisoner a bit. The nose seems a little too short, and one eye has a darker pixel while the other does not. I am fixing that right now!

@Enjay Glad that Darren is no Nazi

@MorLadim - Here is what I've gotten done so far:

Well I've done these so far! I think I'd have to change the bureau worker's hair though, so it will look more like a professional's haircut. Also, if you are looking for these mugshots to look as close to Wolfenstein as possible, then I can attempt to edit them to replicate that style.

[Enjay]

I don't know if this will be of any use to you but, the old (and brilliant) painting package for the Amiga, DPaint, came with some construction kit images. One of these sets was for making faces. I've used them a number of times for character portraits. They are a bit limited but with a bit of cunning, they can be made to look OK (and they can be combined with other images e.g. I have used some of the Strife conversation portraits to provide shoulders and chests).

The most limited thing about them, unfortunately, is the very 80s style hair (most of which is female in style too). They originally came on a number of 320x200 images but, I've pasted them onto a single image and attached them below.

You could use them full size but you seem to be going for smaller so you could also use them to create a base image that you then resize like so...



Here's one that I actually used in a project:

I need Cloanto PP now... where I've left it?
I wonder if I could do these stuff through my WinUAE with Amiga Forever installed...
