[Project]Hexen II Monsters

[ShadesMaster]

Yeah that's it - and imho it's shaped like the Microscopic Hydra moreso than an octopus. The sprite's body should be more cylindrical, and it's tentacles coming from one end.

The SKULL WIZARD - now THAT'S shaping up to be pretty sweet.

[CaptainToenail]

There you go Ghastly



The rest of the death animation does not require the skull to be pasted on, you can use the existing sprites, also, there's no way I'm pasting the shoulder pads on you can forget it!

Edit: just noticed there's some white spaces on the '5' back rotations I missed

Oh, and also, you might want to call A_Chase more often to make the wizard's movement smoother, and maybe some A_FaceTarget when they teleport

[Tormentor667]

Toenail, that one's porn!

[Ghastly]

Thanks Toe! I'll slap them in a wad, then make the Shadow Wizard.

@CodenniumRed: Close enough, it's a horizontal squid-like thing.

@Leileilol: It'll look fine when scaled.

[Vegeta(dw)]

Hey that looks good. I think we could add the tome of power between both hands, and floating in the air behind the energy ball the wizard cast on the attack frames. It wouldn't be really much of a trouble as the tome already has rotation frames.

[Amuscaria]

That's actually a Squid, albeit missing 5 limbs.

[Rolls]

I made a octopus, not an squid...
I can edit the body to convert it in a squid

[CaptainToenail]

Is this ok for the golem's jewel'd forehead?

[Ghastly]

Perfect edit, wrong golem.

You put it on the Stone Golem, but I'll copy/paste it onto the Iron Golem. Thanks!

@Leileilol: It'll look fine when scaled.

No it wouldn't. It would be an inconsistent, pixel picking enemy that will be hard on the eyes.

[Ghastly]

No it wouldn't. It would be an inconsistent, pixel picking enemy that will be hard on the eyes.

Any better ideas, sprites or bases?

[CaptainToenail]

Perfect edit, wrong golem.

Ah woops!

You might want to darken the jewel too, if it stands out too much.

[Amuscaria]

You can still used the model rips as bases, but it will take extensive editing to make it look smooth as game sprites. With that much time spent editing a sprite, it would probably be faster to just edit a existing heretic monster, like you did now, or draw a completely new one.

[printz]

The problem is that the creature looks like an alien demon for Doom instead of a Kraken for HeXen

Doom? Doom? No. Look at how the mouth is animated, the tentacles and the texturing. It's really Strife. A Strife-type Spectral Alien.

Scaling can be done, and while it looks bad scaled in Doom, it doesn't look bad any more scaled in the picture editor.

Paste Daedolon feet and robe on the wizard. Use a tome of power to draw them a weapon.

[ShadesMaster]

True, 'cause the Skull Wizards don't fire like the Bishops. It's shaping up nicely though. As for Golems, I WOULD recommend scaling - though a sprite edit to include an attached helm, shoulder pads and skirt would look nice. It's actually part of the creature, he doesn't wear that stuff....
