[SPRITES] Spriting Carnival!!

[doomjedi]

Nice. Looks very good

Thanks, a bit of busy day for me, don't have time to art...hopefully this weekend. Doing only quick concepts.

In general, while I can't please you all guys, and probably won't "fix" all of the feedbacks - I do refer to feedbacks seriously and will do the ones that I find most valid and do not create excessive art overload.

I was originally imagining the wrench to be much bigger:

At least I'm not hearing this from a woman

and a single handed attack would mix things up a bit

That was the intent, yes.

It's very easy to make them look awkward.

I can see your point. Adding second wrench would look too weird I guess. Ok, we'll see what we'll do about that. Meantime I'll create big wrench concept and hopefully post here this evening.

sorry guys, but this big ass wrench dont fit IMO.

This tool is not practical as a weapon. Its not occur very often in RL, to create convincing image of enemy.
"small" 1 handed wrench is ok, and i like it before. Its quite common that mechanician (plumber of whoever) have this small tool.

2h tools that are ok: spade, pickaxe, fork, axe, hammer, hoe.
some electrical tool like grinder - but its a different motion.
we forget that he also could grab some material: A piece of steel pipe (exhaust, hydraulic), rebar, camshaft, chain, piston?

personally if I would have to take down guy with a gun, I will grab a screwdriver.

I guess you've never been in heavy industry then - especially an industry relying on pipelines. Huge wrenches are just as common (if not more so) than sledge hammers there. They were all over the place where I worked and my local hardware/mechanics store has a huge display of them on the wall.

I do like the big wrench, but I do agree that the small wrench was/is good if nothing else because it clearly isn't just a remake of the sledgehammer. Of course, that would mean doing it would be more work.

As for the off hand, perhaps he could have a wrench in one hand and another tool (like a ball pein hammer or something) in the other and attack with them both (left-right, left-right). That would make him very different to the big sledgehammer guy. Of course, it would also mean more work.

[edit]In fact, he could have a ranged weapon (nail gun or something) in one hand and the wrench for melee - putting him into a very different niche to the sledgehammer guy.[/edit]

Those are not very mechanic-like tools though. Remember, this is for spanner-guy.

akimbo fast attacks, instead slow heavy hitter.
[quality is poor, because source was poor]
if that was Heretic monster, I would already finish drawing him.

Do you think farmers are immune to demon possession? Or what about miners on Phobos?

[Lagi]

Well how about that! Do we really have much bigger pipe wrench? I can imagine a zombie trying to swing it but it's too heavy so he start to move backward... Or maybe opposite.

[Enjay]

Yes, that's exactly the idea that I had in mind.
He would also probably be able to chase the player a bit faster due to not having to carry such a heavy item.

I have no problem with Zombie farmers... actually, I do. I live in the country and I'm surrounded by farms so that would be an issue for me.

The reason I thought that those tools weren't particularly suitable was simply because the concept was a mechanic of some sort, and those aren't mechanic's tools.

[doomjedi]

Because Heretic art is easy?

I have no problem with Zombie farmers

Oh please don't tell me I need to make zombie farmers now too This is spinning out of control RedNeck Doom

...meantime attack rotations prove to be a heavy challenge...

I could include him in my mod, and enjoy killing him ASAP. But he doesnt fit to fantasy at all.

edit: no wait, i would need to spend +3 days on making smooth animations

edit:
If you need some help with this guys, i can draw something, for mechanic or builder, like attacks in different rotation.

done some work on sonic.o.fan's grenade launcher he was working on:

did the green stock like on the kdizd gl but went for a terminator2 inspired reload (pop and snap that bad-boy closed, one-handed!)

That grenade launcher is sick.

[osjclatchford]

thanks, all real credit to sonik.o.fan truth be told. all I've done is reposition it to make reload frames, recolour it and make the pickup and projectile sprites...
Oh yeah forgot to credit eriance for the muzzle flashes lifted from the demon eclipse shotgun...

anyway:

have a tortured zombieman, based off of the tortured marine from extermination day's hell maps... I use it in major crisis as an alternative to livestick on a randomizer (with the hideous torture sounds because I guess I'm a sick puppy...)

updated sheet

Here is a KRISS Vector I made for Shadow Elite, created by actaully photoshooting my Real Kriss Vector. Cut from my mod.

It is possible to have black gloves to this beauty ?
