[REQUEST]Lovecraftian Abomination

[0bsidian]

I'm going to construct a boss battle for a project I've got in the works and I need some suitably macabre sprites to work with. What I'm hoping for is something inspired by Lovecraftian literature, be it a giant flesh wyrm or something like Shub-Niggurath from Quake.

Things it needs.
-It needs to be stationary, as if it has just burst out of the earth to attack you
-It doesn't need rotation frames, but it does need quite a few idling frames(tentacles writhing and suchlike)
-It needs to be of a fairly decent size
-It needs to transfer to the Doom palette

Also, this one isn't as urgent but would be greatly appreciated: I'd also like smaller versions of the boss to act as minions. I could probably do without them, but I'd be very grateful if someone could pull it off. Credits will naturally be given in the textfile.

Not mine, but hope this help to someone:

I think Yog Sothoth could be a good final boss, because circular its ok in order to NO needing to use rotate sprites yet see fine. Also adding some tentacular.

There was a Lovecraftian sprite edit posted somewhere on the forum but I can't remember which thread it was... ! Dammit!

The entities from Strife could be a starting point for something like that.

I also remember some similar looking things in one of Batman Doom's secret levels

The ones that for some reason had the ability to throw Batarangs?

Like I said, it needs to be stationary: that way it has some sort of legitimate reason to always face the player.

d0uBLe p0St??!?

On a related note, I've noticed the odd thread around where people were trying to remake Quake in ZDoom: did any of these end up having sprites for Shub-Niggurath that I could use?

@Nash I believe you may have been thinking of the Deep One on Realm667.

I'm so tempted to do this, but have other obligations at the moment. I love lovecraft though, and as long as I can use the design I come up with for something else later on, I'm game. Since this is a sprite I'd like to do something a bit more "advanced" than just shub niggurauth from Quake. Let me think it over. If I come up with an awesome idea in my head, I'll let you know.

Did anything ever end up being produced for this? At this point in time I'm not overly fussed with the specifications anymore: Azathoth or Yog Sothoth would work just as well for me. Anyone?

[0bsidian]

Bumpity.

I tried asking on DW and /vr as well and got zilch. :/ Anyone know a good place to ask for sprites?

Did you not notice Soundblock's post here?: http://www.doomworld.com/vb/doom-editin ... omination/

Actually, no I didn't. 0_o Thanks for pointing that out, I'll give him a reply.
