Thanks NiGHTMARE and jutegyte!

BTW, I've just posted another update to the wad, with lights, glowing runes in several colors, and more rocks/dirt!

I don't really have a ton of experience with this, I just mess with stuff until it seems to work

Well, please keep messing because these are shaping up very nicely.

Thanks! Once again I've done exactly that (messing with stuff), and come up with what I think is a pretty decent-looking satyr face, which could be used as either a switch or decoration. It ended up looking somewhat Chinese, but hey, whatever works I guess

I created the facial features as a displacement map, and used Photoshop's "Lighting Effects" filter to apply them to the face. It worked out pretty well I think, though it was rather confusing and involved a lot of trial and error.

Yikes! This is bloody amazing! Didn't know you were that keen on texture editing. And we need more from-scratch texture projects. You never know when some nut might come along and try and make a new game from scratch or something. ;P

[Ghastly]

Cool! ZDoom needed more texture packs. Those that are available at getting kind of old and used up.

Any thoughts to making some Doom 3-style hellish textures? I've looked through several texture packs, but can't find anything that really fits.

Heh, just started making a map with these textures.

I gotta say, these are some nice textures

Awesome, thanks! I'd love to see what you come up with

Here we go!


Not really, though it was pretty interesting to see how much I could fuck up a map.

Here's the real stuff

[Vader]

Again, very nice stuff, please keep it up
I really like those runes... good work on the face too!

The archways in that screenshot don't really match up with the rest of the bricks, but otherwise they look rather nice!

[Snarboo]

Those are some nice textures you've got there, Essel. :) Doom really needs more gothic texture sets.

[esselfortium]

Thanks guys

Yeah; it looks good, through TBH I think those kinds of arches generally work best when used for windows or something that the player isn't able to actually walk through.

[Unknown_Assassin]

Oooh, that face texture looks intriguing.

Great textures so far, Essel!
