[Monster]Grell

[NMN_Paul]

This is a monster I've posted in the Spriting Carnival thread, but that thread seems to be for unfinished sprites, so I'm reposting the >done< thing over here.
It's a sheet, anyone willing to use it gonna have to crop it and make separate frames. Hope it's not much trouble

It's freeware.
Anyone willing to use it, just credit me.
Anyone willing to distribute it further (like some sprite resource webpage), by all means do so!

If it's not ok that I'm reposting this thing here, any mod let me know about it please.

FreeDoom could really use this for a Cacodemon if it's big enough.

FreeDoom could really use this for a Cacodemon if it's big enough.

Or a pain elemental, seeing as they don't have one yet.

[NMN_Paul]

You think so? Could someone please upload it to Freedoom then? Maybe they'll find it useful. I'm a bit busy atm with that Vore, and then I got some more work, and then some more work and then...

Looking good! Nice to see you around again, NMN

Hi Essel

[Xaser]

Nice to see a thread 'bout this guy. I've got DECORATE code for it, but ZDCMP2 gets it first.

I'll post it up later when I make the finishing touches tomorrowish. Gonna see if I can use that nice n' handy A_RadiusGive to introduce some extra effects to his attack.

That's a cool looking sprite. I've always iomagined Grells with more of a beak than that but I really like the mouth because it makes it individual.

Was it entirely from scratch? I'm guessing yes because I don't recognise any of the bits but I am just asking because if any commercial game donated its bits to the sprite it won't be acceptable for FreeDoom.

On the subject of FreeDoom, Eriance and a few others have created a number of from-scratch sprites that would, IMO, be suitable to add to FreeDoom. Have the artists ever considered donating them to FreeDoom? It would be nice for FreeDoom to get closer to a full sprite set. ATM, FreeDoom isn't really much fun to play as a stand-alone game because of all the placeholders (and/or Blasphemer for that matter).

But Blasphemer's textures kick Freedoom's ass.

Not much to add except this is a really neat looking enemy.

With some editing, I could turn it into the Parapsych (kinda like a less detailed eyeless Octabrain) from Duke Nukem: Zero Hour. If I ever get around to it, I'll share with you guys.

Nice one!
Kind of reminds me of those Tentaculats from "UFO2: Terror from the deep", I'm curious how it will behave

The D&D grell does have a beak, and a lot more tentacles.

Damn, it's hard doing an image search on "Grell" without finding tons and tons of pictures of some pointy-toothed anime redhead.

Thank you much for nice comments

Now to answer some questions:

I've got DECORATE code for it, but ZDCMP2 gets it first.

I'll be honored if this was included in ZDCMP2

I've always iomagined Grells with more of a beak

You're right. To be honest, I've noticed that when I took a look at the Grell after I was done with the sprite, kinda was doing it from memory while making it... I just named it "Grell" because I didn't have another witty name for it

Was it entirely from scratch?

Yes, this one was done entirely from scratch.

On subject of Freedoom, I'd LOVE to help these guys out as Freedoom is popular and it's a shame it's so unfinished. I think that after I'm done with some stuffage I have going on at the moment (including one GENIuane request ) I'll try to make some stuff for Freedoom and see what comes out.

On another note, I've donated this sprite to Openart and stamped it as "public domain". I hope that doesn't cross it out of Freedoom... I always make stuff for free over the internet, less someone requests it, then I won't post it.

Tentaculats from "UFO2: Terror from the deep"

Yeah, those are D&D Grells actually

tons of pictures of some pointy-toothed anime redhead.

Yeah...

And one final note - the Vore requested by some people in the Sprite Carnival is almost done. I just need to cleany up the outline, some final anim tests and off it goes.

This is lovely! I'll contact Stilgar about including it in Blasphemer.
