[WIP]4xHi-res Sprites... and 4xHD?

[Amuscaria]

I thought Slade 3 was a map editor, like DB.

[Enjay]

Nah, this is Slade:

The original SLADE was a map editor, but (in addition to having a map editor in the end) the newest version will be a full-featured tool designed to pretty much do anything related to doom editing.

Slade 1 was. Slade 2 was too. Slade 3 isn't. Slade 3.1 will be.
See here for more info.

@ Pandut: I'm glad it was usefull And here: You can use slade, but it's best you Don't convert them to Doom's pallette. Blox and I are making them "open" source, that is, in a PK3, so no conversion is needed, so transparent backgrounds work, at least on Skulltag, and I'm sure 'Nutcracker' could easily write a script to use them in Zdoom, otherwise I'm sure there's already one

-Sry I've got more work, but I did still manage to make more sprites. I have now finished the impaled human :

'Impaled Human' - by Mtzfire
I realize some stuff is wierd, but it looks better in-game

And here's Blox's advancements in the Demon:

'Demon' - by Blox

Here's something I didn't kno! Blox draws the horns and teeth I didn't even know, but, it's no wonder they look so good He may not draw out the whole freakin image, but damn the end result is nice

EDIT: I realize that some people here ar uncomfortable with these as "4x" hi-res, so I might layer change the topic to "2x," because after all, we're donating these as 2x hi-res sprites for Skulltag's pack, and they do indeed look better shrunken down.

I like the impaled marine. It's got a kind of painted comic book look to it that's got it's own charm.

[DBThanatos]

Well, I love em. They do have a curious look, and that's what I like about them

[Mtzfire]

Thanks Also, the video for the impaled human only showed how to make the boot, and some of the leg, so I'll make another video, a better one, that might skip alot, but will show the results from beggining to end.

[JustinC]

Just keep in mind how the anatomy works while your blurring stuff....as the right leg on this guy is a bit forced. If you think of the body form as a series of cylinders, spheres, cubes, etc...Your technique will show greater results. I'm not ripping you or anything, your doing a good job.

[Mtzfire]

Thanks for the advice there Actually it's really hard for me to get it sometimes. When the sprite is first scaled, it's a bunch of giant squares, so I can't really see anatomy in it... but I guess I'll try to picture these things in my head as I work. Thanks

-As for the monsters, well, unfortunately I have no conrol over them, nor any of the sprites I don't make. Well, I'll be working on the pillars I never finshed... and I might try the Revenant sometime.

wow wow wow wow wow woooooooow woooooooooooow woa this is tooooooooo great!!!!
wow XD

[InsanityBringer]

heh

[Mtzfire]

wow wow wow wow wow woooooooow woooooooooooow woa this is tooooooooo great!!!!
wow XD

Thanks there, glad you like them.

heh

To you too XD

-Anyway, it's probably important I say this: The sprites are always changing, this is a project thread after all, not a Sprite Pack thread Yet, so we make them better. Note: The impaled human got better, since it looked rather a bit flat, Blox added shading, I'll show the new one

EDIT: Here are the comparisons for the latest "Impaled human"

OLD: NEW:
----------------------------The difference is quite large, you might have to look close

[Enjay]

That's an improvement right enough - but his right leg still looks odd. The perspective doesn't quite work and just makes his lower leg look too small.

[Blox]

P.S: I can paint in some shadows, if they seem missing.

Is this any better?
Because the last one was made in 5 minutes, so it was kinda clumsy. I tried to keep it very close to the original this time.
