[SPRITES] Spriting Carnival!!

@Vriska

Looks neat. I'd give it a shot but I don't have the patience to go around perfecting sprites. Plus massive lazyness.

Okay, I'm feeling in the mood for crappy edits, so here's one more.


And as a bonus, have a neat lil' gun to play with

EDIT:

So uh
I'm working on a thing


Here's the armor separated in case anyone wants to make something out of it:

---

I have also rescaled the M60E I posted a long time ago to the proper size according to the hands:

You really have to scale these things for Doom, they'll look a lot better. High-res sprites are a bit uncanny.

---

My process for getting things scaled while preserving the vanishing point (when simplified to work outside of Photoshop's Smart Layers) is to scale my unscaled sprite to 83% height & 100% width for Doom's aspect ratio, create a new layer and trace out the vanishing point by following the lines of the gun until I get an intersection, create a new layer under those two layers and draw a 428x200 (16:9 in Doom adjusted for 120% vert) box with intersecting lines, then select both the layer with the gun and the layer with the perspective lines and scale + move them until the vanishing point matches on the cross and the gun is in a comfortable place. Then clean edges.

Also, you should try ripping with a more directional light source so you get nice highlight / shadow contrast that accentuates the form. Drawing it on later is a bit difficult.

I just like to make these quickly, but at the same time, try to detail them.

The biggest thing that makes the larger sprites extremely not-work is the resolution mixing. The hand+flash sprites are scaled upward incorrectly, which nukes any chances of the sprite looking right. :<

Leaning to scale things down (e.g. TorridGristle's example) is quite valuable. Looks better n' fits the game better.

[Captain J]

if you can, PLEASE listen to our advices. it helps to make your spriting better.

I really should get round to finishing this. I was going to add a larger carry handle (since the drop sprite has one) and work on getting the accordion effect of the barrel/receiver (?) thing goin on. Lol, guess you guys liked it then.

sounds interesting. hope you can work on it, then!

Did some work on a PPSH rip tonight for a Chernobyl themed TC I'm planning on making.

Not really the same gun anymore, but I like it.

Is that Ballistic Weapons for UT2004 you're ripping?
kind of nice though.

Yup, got like 10 more weapons.

Two new versions, better looking than the last two ones I made.

Why did you just paste a doomguy hand on a full-sized model?
I don't mean to be rude, but critically these aren't even sprites.

I just like to do model rips.

[wildweasel]

Model rips can look better, though, with only a couple of tweaks to your current process.

Eww. Looks rotten. But your baron armor has real value! Looks nice. Just needs a little more touch on the leg shadows.
