[Sprites] SoniK.O.Fan's sprites

[BRAVOMEYERS7424]

I forwarded this thread to him on Discord. I believe he might come here soon. Who knows, maybe he even add the hands for you. That being said, since you're new here i will instruct you to learn try and learn some basic image editor steps so you can make your own adaptations to sprites. Not every resource you find here will be ready to use, and you can speed up your mods by doing things yourself instead of waiting for others. Most of the time, the authors will be doing their own things and while adding hands is a quick and easy job, they may not be around when you need.

Thanks so much! I know , someday I want to be the guy that takes requests , and I too want to make awesome weapon sprites for Doom! I'm planning to put His weapon sprites in a Vanilla Compatible , Doom 3 sprites WAD file , that can run on any port! Personally , I think He should take this request as a badge of honor , especially knowing that people admire His work , and want to use it in custom mods! Besides , If He does complete these sprites , everyone can use them for custom mods and stuff , I think people would appreciate these sprites if They get completed.

Good day to you, thanks to JD, i got here ASAP
I responded to you on Doomworld, will forward it here as well; From what you can see, that recent ssg spritesheet was commissioned, because i can't allow myself to work on everything these days just because i was asked to
Simple lack of free time, however, i work with commissions immediately, since they're paid works, obviously. So, in case if you plan on getting a spritework from me, i can suggest to read the pricing list on my Doomworld profile: https://www.doomworld.com/profile/26900 ... e_pfield_1
Or just wait an indefinite amount of time until i get to your request, i always keep in mind even free ones

Hey , I haven't been on the Forums in a couple of days , so I'm just now seeing You're reply here. I'll take a look at You're price listings , but if it's too much $ then I'll probably just have to wait. Thanks for the reply though , it's much appreciated.

I tallied up the numbers , I probably wouldn't need You to make the Fist , the chainsaw , or the Shotgun considering it's already done , but all the other weapons are a Yes , that would still be 294$! I don't have that kind of Money sadly , so I'll probably just have to wait. :\

I guess i will have to stop relying on that site in terms of sprite repository, because Imgur is blocked (VPN services are also blocked in my country)
all i get is:

Code: Select all

{"data":{"error":"Imgur is temporarily over capacity. Please try again later."},"success":false,"status":500}

Forum where only option to post images is highly unreliable Imgur or attachments with very limited space is not the way to me

Good thing i also post on Doomworld: https://www.doomworld.com/profile/26900 ... _section=1
Once i set up the stable base for sprite repository, i'll drop all the links here

Hello! I've been accompanying your spritework from a long time, cuz you're really good.
I've been following your through one of the communities (Idk if can say here), and I notice that you're now doing the rendering or base through 3D models, right?

If you don't mind, what programs do you use to reach this kind of level of making custom sprites, seriously, YOU ARE A GOAT AT THIS!

I hadn't actually seen a few of the more recent sprites because they're hosted on Imgur and, thanks to Media Labs (Imgur's owner) deciding to block content in the UK, I can't see the images without a VPN. However, your post prompted me to take a look at the newer stuff. You're right Sonik.o.fan has been producing excellent sprites for a long time now. I've used several in the past, and the new ones are just getting better and better.

I really like the reshaded Calamity blade. IMO, both the Calamity Blade and the Incinerator, as included with the new version of the game, look unfinished. They were made by the same basic method as the BFG sprites - photographing toys and Frankensteining bits of the photos together to make something new. However, if you look at the BFG, id obviously spent some time fixing the problems caused by palletising the photographs. The source sprites for the two "new" weapons were never finished to the same standard, and you can tell. Sonik.o.fan's reshade looks to me like how id might have finished off the sprites if they had decided to include them with the game back in 1993. I wonder if NightDive might consider including them with future revisions of the game?

I guess the other "problem" with the Calamity blade is that the arms of the blade are very obviously the pistol-grips of the toys they photographed and, once you see it, you can't unsee it. It does make me wonder if that's part of why id decided not to use them back in the day.

Thank ye for heartwarming comment there Enjay :]

It's getting REALLY troublesome for me to post images here via Imgur, since pretty much everything is blocked here in Russia, i gotta rely on ridiculous amount of proxy/VPN services just to open the site, let alone signing in process, though i'm still using it, despite having more adequate alternatives (just haven't made separate thread on Doomworld which would function the same as sprite repository like this ZDF thread)

Nevertheless some bit more fresh stuff can be found on Doomworld's spriting carnival, it still uses Imgur as host, but eventually i'll stop relying on it if things won't change (and i'm pretty damn sure everything will remain blocked in my country)

Thankye mate, i use Blender for creating simplest geometry so angles look consistent, small details and metal shading are done manually

As for drawing process itself, i use old Gimp version 2.8.22, i just don't like newest versions and this one has just the right amount of features for me to make Doom-ish looking sprites
And that's about it, i also use PureRef app on my pc, so i can see reference images without constantly switching between windows, but it's just quality of life thingy if anything
