Doom sprites HD (8x) version v03 released

[thief666]

hi,
couldnt with till Ill finish all the sprites and put some unfininshed Baron into game!
I think difference is substantial (REMEBER BODY IS not optimized AT ALL, only HD head attached)

Looks good! That face definitely does look better in-game. May still need some tweaking, but it comes down to personal opinion I guess. With how little detail the Baron actually had in his face I figure everyone had their own idea of what it looked like.

I have to say that this was true for me too, until I saw the MARBFAC2 texture, and from there on, I've known exactly what Barons are supposed to look like.

Wow, a high-res sprite that doesn't look horrible. Excellent job.

hi its me again,
we are deciding which method use for rescaling (vector scaling or some filtering etc) I am trying to make HD elements for demon here is one of ideas:

[Tapwave]

>Demon with pupils.

[.+:icytux:+.]

Indeed, it barely worked for the Baron(I'd still suggest going back to the black small eyes tho). But what is typical for a demons eyes are no pupils. And based on the big non-pupil eyes of the sprite, I don't think it should have any. Or make it have more like a yellow very thin cats pupil.

[Enjay]

Agreed. The iris/pupils make it look too cute (in a furby kind of way) or human. I would suggest that even this crude pillow-shaded test is more "mean" looking.

[Marnetmar]

^That looks AMAZING! Just my suggestion, but I think it'd be pretty spooky if you made the eyes a bit larger and gave it really, really tiny pupils. You know, something to give it that psychotic look in its eye.

Edit:

Something like this

[thief666]

hey thanks for suggestins, indeed my eyes looks stupid,
maybe icytux was right and eye-less is most scary:

[hfc2x]

Looks really good! The upper teeth look a bit out of place, though.

[Viscra Maelstrom]

I think the Pinky should have the yellow shiny eyes the original sprites have. They're a defining characteristic of the Pinkies, imo.

[Marnetmar]

I dunno, black holes for eyes are pretty disturbing.

[Minigunner]

If anything, you should smooth out the diagonal lines created by vector scaling. GIMP has a Point Blur tool for that.
Also, Enjay's yellow eyes are better IMO. However, a slight glow would also do.

[TheDoomGuy]

Enjay's method is definitely the best. Although they all look good, wouldn't it be preferable to keep everything faithful to the originals?

I'm sure these will be fun to mod and everything once they're done (e.g. pinkies with black eye-sockets ) but for now, everything should be exactly the same, but "HD" (or whatever these will end up being).
