Its very good but unfortunately no. Too high resolution, and not doom paletted (i think)


Im looking for one that feels like it could belong in the vanilla game without feeling out of place. like matching the style and resolution of the other weapons. same quality. not higher, or lower.

Kind of like Zrrion the insects unmaker

However I need 4 different unmaker sheets, and I only have 3.

as im going to have it so that it the appearance changes and slowly gets more demonic as it is introduced to more demon keys.

Whoops you are right I made it a bit too big!
Here it is now with a "recoil" frame and the bfg in there for comparison

I'd have to re add in the darkened frame before the "glow"

Also It SHOULD be in the palette its just in true color mode, but it should palettize without any trouble

Here it is sans "glow" for its Idle. The only other thing now would be some kind of muzzle flash if you wanted that.

If I had a centered version of the doom eternal unmakyr I could do that to. But I can't seem to find any chroma keyed versions of that

If you don't mind me stepping in, I have to say that the pinkness of it makes it look a bit like a blancmange gun.

LOL! Yeah, I was debating on pinky pink vs Spider Mastermind tannish pink, I thought pinky pink would be more colorful. Also tried to make it kinda look "toylike" to mimic the fact that most of the doom weapons were based on toys.
Oh and that stuff looks NASTY. Is that like some kind of gelatin? Its just so wet and pink. I'm sure it tastes fine but it looks like someone regurgitated kirby :P

:laff: In my head, that how pink blancmange is made now.

Wikipedia:
Blancmange, from French: blanc-manger is a sweet dessert popular throughout Europe commonly made with milk or cream and sugar thickened with rice flour, gelatin, corn starch, or Irish moss, and often flavoured with almonds.

It is usually set in a mould and served cold. Although traditionally white (the literal English translation of the name is "white eating"), blancmanges are frequently given alternative colours.


No mention of Kirby, sadly.

And what would you want to be different about the sprite you are using?

So a couple of things, in my opinion, that make a weapon look "doom classic". They are usually brighter, and pretty high contrast. They have that digitized look since they were mostly digitized. and they have that "toy" look since they were mostly digitized from toy guns. So that's kind of what I was going for with my last one. Secondly, there aren't any classic doom weapons that have that bio-organic / cybernetic look, though obviously there are doom enemies that have that. However, I tried to go for a bit more mechanic look in my appearance and used the spidermastermind as an inspiration. So I ditched the dark bones and went with metal parts there and then changed the "skin" to brain matter. The unmaker for doom 64 obviously had that dark smooth 3d rendered look which doesn't blend very well with the current doom weapons. But, if you wanted something more like what you've got there I got another attempt at that.
Though in my opinion my first attempt looked more "classic doom".
