YESSSSSS

YYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

So want. Super hard.

In the process of making a Doomworld account so I can ask that other guy...

[NeuralStunner]

Ouch. To hold a gun like that I'd have to start carving off my own flesh.

Over time, Doomguy hands get cut further and further back to accommodate random guns. Some day, it'll be nothing but a wrist, thumb, and the sides of some fingers.

[DoomKrakken]

Soon enough, the gun will be his hand.

[Skelegant]

Too late
it has already begun

My take on the doom skull keys with some extra variants.

[gerolf]

I really like the skull keys, agaures. Maybe they could animate by having their eyes flicker like candlelight?

I know this is a Doom forum, and so adding the Doomguy's hands to guns makes sense, but it is 99% of the time poorly executed in two different ways..

1) It doesn't look like the Doomguy's hand at all, and looks really out of place with the original game's art. This also goes for weapon sprites in general. They can look great when grouped together with weapons that have the same source, but when everything is meshed together it starts to look rather strange. Not everyone is an artist, and I do see why people go about this.

2) Doomguy's hands are not meant for angled weapons, and only a few of the several Doomguy hand sprites made by fans actually look like they could be from Adrian himself, but these hands were made to hold a specific weapon, and when applied to other weapons, it looks wonky a lot of the time.

This is just my opinion of course. When I make weapon sprites, I like to use Caleb's hands, because his seem to fit most weapon sprites if they're executed a certain way, and this .357 would probably look best with Caleb's hand.

Yeah i had it planned to alternate between lit and unlit.
This being the unlit frame:

[Gez]

The pink skull is shinier than the others. Not enough dark pinks in the palette?
