Doom sprites HD (8x) version v03 released

[iLikeTheUDK]

And also remember to hide the faded remainders from the previous frames before you export - It looks like there's another ghost imp following this imp.

OH, I forgot.
The sprite dimensions should exactly match orinal proportionally scaled.
It means that you can modify my sprites but dont mke them any wider, taller or smaller. otherwise sprite will be shrinked or stretched in-game.

***TRick that can be used is if you want to make it shorter than original, put one almost transparent pixel in the very top edge so

Animated imp looks nice indeed, I love improved ches, I think my hands are not too bad, head is nice.
Regarding head - one more thing we can do is to have imp "nod" his head a little bit as he walks , tricky part would be to keep restrictions I mentioned above I can do that.

And last thing - I am almost done with angled frame - we can do the same to angled animations and so on.

Also, I don't like how his mouth opened and closed again and again. It wasn;t in the original imp, and it looks weird.

It takes him from roar/growl/snarl to much-munch (pacman imp). The gape/close loop evokes the arcade-game "eating-machine of death". Won't look very doomy in a horde of imps; especially not if you're unlucky enough to get them synchronised. (Although it clearly says "We're coming to eat you", which is always nice.)

If the flow ingame differs from the posted animation (so that it doesn't look like a halfway chomping motion) it might not look so silly, but the animation gives the impression that the imp already has something to chew.

I say things in this thread from time to time. Whenever I think it almost matters. Tried drawing some stuff as well (not for this project, just placeholder programmer "art"). Helps me how much I appreciate the work of competent artists. If my posts say little more than (an extended) "thank you", I tend not to press "submit". Every now and then, I think there's room for another one, though. Like this one. On behalf of myself, with much hope for a complete product: Thank you, all contributors.

LOL Pacman Imp. A pretty entertaining description of the problem, I should say.

[TheMorden]

yeah i thought it looked weird aswell, but LMFAO PACMAN IMP, priceless

[TheMorden]

@theif666, how are those side angles coming, its to bad you haven't already finished them, im going on a long bus ride and would have liked to work on them on my way back home, provably a god 27 hour trip too haha

[thief666]

hey, TheMorden,

so its really early stage basically EVERYTHING needs corrections (perspective, colors, blending, lightning)
but if you thin you can start doing heads your way from this stage then go ahead:)
Maybe judge could help to fix chest a bit?

In meant ime I can go back to front frames and do this little head "nodding" for walking anim as well as chest animation (has to follow a bit arms movement - unless Judge could haelp with this as well:)

man that is great!

There is something about the facial expression on the rotated one that reminds me of...

[thief666]

heh Enjay is right Jaw should be retracted a bit
after we done with angled frames thare will be shooting frames to add and we can try it in the game (front/fron-angle and shooting are the most commonly appearing frames in-game , unless you shoot the imp, which whould be a bad thing since its such a nice sprite:) )


@TheMorten - what kind of software are you using to animate sprite? Once I was looking for good, free GIF creator and failed to find one...

[hfc2x]

Beavis or not, I think the jaw is fine.

[Project Shadowcat]

Beavis or not, I think the jaw is fine.

I must admit that I agree with this statement. The overbite is quite appropriate for it.

[Enjay]

Underbite

It was more than just the jaw. The whole facial expression said "Beavis" to me. It's not awful, just something I spotted. I guess I'll have to load the old '94 Beavis and Butthead sound pack when I play with the sprites. Oh the horror!

[.+:icytux:+.]

Keep up the fascinating work, looks terrifying yet close to the original. Looks pretty consistent between the rotations!
