[SuperSomariDX]

A merge of the Beta SSG sprites Romero posted, with some elements from the normal Doom shotgun, and some customly re-shaded barrels.
Unfortunately, That's about as good as I could get the shading to work out for me without messing with the appearance any further.

Looking good

[Captain J]

May I use this? Please? I have a concept.

just credit me and it's all-free.

[Carbine Dioxide]

I'm surprised at how good this came out. The mag might be in a weird place, though.

Update:

While it is fair that, in comparison to the fighter, the rogue isn't that odd, the archer is just flat-out silly no matter how much skin the others are showing. If she wants to be sexy while killing people, forgoing clothes entirely would be better than that outfit that is either so tight that it'd impair her breathing or requires her to glue her nipples to the fabric. Female archers in general bind their breasts so they don't cut them off working the string.

On the other hand, I can't wait to see the wrinkled up old mage in Lemeza's swimsuit.

More seriously, I don't know why you're not opting for a catsuit for the rogue if you want something sexy, yet practical. While next to the fighter she makes more sense, you're excluding the additional comparisons with the cleric and the mage unless you've completely removed them from the picture. There's a lot more designs that would befit an acrobatic character that wants to be sexy while dangerous, as right now she seems closer to a spy-assassin hybrid that covers herself as a punk rock prostitute over someone who stalks from rooftops.

Though the archer's design is just ... beyond silly. Bowstrings hurt. I'd say she's the one who needs a design rework, Conan aesthetic or not. In the very least, she could really do with a bracer and some chest protection so she doesn't end up amazoning herself. You could probably also give her a more petite, wiry but toned body in general, as that better fits the archer image.

Edit: Frankly I focused too much on the female aspect, but those designs are pretty poor on the Hexen class design aspect in general, too. Let's run down the vanilla classes, shall we?

• Fighter; huge, hulking guy with a sword, helmet, and what little armor he has looks heavy and like solid metal. This guy's pretty unambiguously a generic, highly stylized fantasy warrior.
• Mage; this guy's covered in a robe from head-to-toe, with seemingly no armor at all. Also, his weapon sprites clearly show that he has wrinkled up hands covered in rings. This is also unambiguously, stylized fantasy mage.
• Cleric; a guy who's covered in a combination of clothes and chainmail, wielding an mace - sure, it's spiked, but the general idea's still there. While maybe not what the first thing to come to mind in terms of fantasy holy men, this is actually really close to DnD's, at least the earlier versions, image of a cleric; they were meant to be tough and strong, but not as strong as the dedicated warriors and they needed to use blunt weaponry due to their religion or something. In this context, it's pretty dang clear that this guy's cleric. Also, we can't see his arms due to his armor, but the fact that he isn't a hulking giant yet isn't so frail looking as the mage does great for suggesting that he's a middle ground between the two, using close-ranged weaponry and magic.

So overall nothing too original, but they immediately tell on what they are; I don't get this at all from your new class designs at all. The only cues I see of their class are their weapons; take them away, and they'd look more like fanservice-y NPCs than player characters when put next to the Hexen classes. I'd recommend looking at how DnD portrayed the classes over Diablo, as it's pretty obvious that Raven took inspiration from that. You could probably get the archer to be more recognizable as an archer, for example, if you put her in a breastplate ( and not the ones with separate breasts; something like that would be more fitting for a female warrior over an archer ) and gave her a bracer on her bow hand, probably with light, outdoorsy clothes under the armor. With the rogue, similar clothes but in darker colors and lighter armor would be more fitting, with plenty of places to hide daggers. A cloak would also help, too.

Also, another point: all the classes in Hexen had their faces obscured. An altered longbowman's helmet on the archer and a cowl with the cloak for the rogue could really help the consistency between these female classes and the male classes.

It's mainly the angle between the magazine and the weapon itself - they don't share the same vanishing point.

Helephant Carbine. Also, POU's second DMC upgrade - was originally going to remove the warning stripes until I thought of using explosive rounds for it as a potential upgrade path.
