Here's an attempt for the sprite DPOSA1C1 using CPOSA1 and CPOSC1 for the big parts.
You can use this for some inspiration... frankly, I don't know if could make all these sprites.

You can't do a simple recolor, because the color gradients in the sprite don't really match the palette ranges -- these green gradients are made by taking the desaturated greens here and there with some grays mixed in. So a translation won't work. It looks to me that what Ac!d did was to take elements from the original chaingunner sprites and copy-paste parts (or mirrored parts) to overwrite the double chaingun dude.

Thanks for the feedback of the preview.
can you do all of them?
If I have time... Like I said in my previous post : "You can use this for some inspiration... frankly, I don't know if could make all these sprites."
also what you used to recolor them?
I used the sprites of the chaingunner of DOOM 2: Hell on Earth (For DPOSA1C1, I take CPOSA1 and CPOSC1 returned horizontally). After, I copy/paste the red parts on the green parts.

I use PhotoFiltre 7 (freeware version), but you can also use Paint.net or GIMP 2 if you want.

Also, thank you Gez to answer the question before me. :roll:
