[SPRITES] Spriting Carnival!!

Personally, I think these sprites present other, far more interesting possibilities, like using them as a base for new boss monsters.

now that is an interesting idea! kinda like how the ol' wolfendoom mods use the higher-res monsters from mac/jaguar versions as alternative bosses?

Yeah, or just as a high quality base for a huge boss-sized monster. Some are probably less suitable than others outside of a jokemod context (Behold, the mighty Plutonion, the 40ft Chaingunner!) but others, like the Mancubus, would be less of a stretch.

You mean using them as giant enemies? Like Mario 3?

Consistency and focus will be the key in all of this.

One of the main problems that all previous "HD" sprite projects had was that they all seemed to add unnecessary extra details that are more of a detriment to the overall look of the sprites. It's one thing to wonder if the Barons of Hell are meant to have fur on their legs, but before that you gotta make sure that whatever detail you want to add to the sprite, it has to look and feel good in contrast to the rest of the graphics of the game.

"Are we going to add extra stuff, or are we just going to clean up the pixels?", "are we going to stricty follow the DOOM palette or are we doing this with a truecolor focus?", "should we do a batch of lumps first and see how they look, do we go all the way?". These are some of the questions that I believe should be resolved first.

That upscaling project has a lot of potential but it won't be able to achieve its true potential unless those who are interested gather up and organize themselves properly. I will go on record to admit that one of my long, long term ideas was to come up with an enhancement project similar to what a group of people have been doing with Wolfenstein 3-D sprites, with the idea of following a "2x" approach similar to what Gifty showed in the previous page. I was even going to call it "The SBE", which would stand for "(2x) Should Be Enough". Unfortunately for me I don't have the time to fully dedicate myself to edit graphics, so I wish all the success in the world to whoever wants to pick up on that potential DOOM upscaling project.

Nicely done! Those grey-black shading somehow gives me the feeling of Wolf3d's. Which is uniquely fine. I'd be surprised if you actually used Wolf3d Mutant as a base. Heh.
