Looks nice and Futuristic enough!

Hello everybody, recently I decided to take spriting more seriously, and at this point I managed to cook up this creature (it's utilizing doom palette). Obviously I need to add some final layer of polish to it, since currently it looks rough, so, I was wondering, what could I do to make it look more doom stylised (well, or just simply better in overall)? I still can't really get hang of this aspect.

This looks really rad. One thing that really helps with trying to nail the doom look is Contrast. Use Multiply and Overlay layers for shading/lighting.


Messed around with it for like a minute in photoshop so you can see what I mean. Not a perfect job but it's just an example. It's a really high-rez sprite, so I'd look at the Arachnotron/Spidermastermind/Archvile sprites as a reference as I believe those were made from actual physical models while all the other monsters were hand drawn.

It's been a long time since I made a sprite set, such as the possessed marine I made. So here, have a Pistol ZSpecOps dude.
Possible bald version, more relative to his Doom 3 counterpart, might happen.

Very nice Just needs some lighting on the firing frames

Very nice, both of you! If one of you can send me the set as individual sprites (it's been a long time since I've cut a sheet and would take me a while), I can code it up and add it to the pack on R667.

All I think of is; *portman pulls out some drugs and sings his heart out*

that sprite sheet:

the doom pistol, but it looks more like an actual beretta.

Looks really good, I sure would love to see more frames.

Does anybody know who made this? If so is this a thread where we can ask?

Never thought I'd see people using Warframe models for Doom sprites, interesting.
Your pixel aspect ratios are off - there are very large square 'blood' bits in the death, but the rest of the sprite is very high-res. I would suggest tracing over it after resizing it down, as it is quite busy and doesn't have a clear silhouette.

I can't stress enough my gratitude, you really helped me out to get started with spriting, thank you. I did some work with this enemy, basically, I decreased height of the monster, since I forgot to accommodate for the doom aspect ratio correction, also, I traced model, and added some shading (by the way, thanks for your example, Pandut, that was a really helpful reference to me) and light effects for the shooting states. At this point, I feel like it's in a pretty decent shape, but I will do some more testing, before releasing these finished sprites.
