40oz Posted April 19, 2016 I mentioned in a post a few months ago that there are a surprising amount of artists here in the community who don't seem to be doing much in the way of graphics and things for Doom wads. I spent an hour or so putting this together to show that using something like a simple pencil sketch, it can be pretty quickly digitally colored and look pretty comparable to the artwork you would see in Doom. (in fairness, this is probably a little grainy and could use more touching up) I would love it if more artists would consider donating their drawings to community projects to use as background graphics like INTERPIC, TITLEPIC, CREDITPIC, and BOSSBACK. There are way too many INTERPIC's and TITLEPIC's that are just a plain texture background with a wordart splash of the wads title on it when there is so much more potential for better art to use instead, and it's not very difficult to make turn pencil skethces into usable graphics. source image cropped section 0 Share this post Link to post
The Civ Posted April 19, 2016 That'd be really rad if the colors weren't so flat, unaffected by light, and textureless. 0 Share this post Link to post
Tango Posted April 20, 2016 That's really neat :D It would be great to see more graphic output from the community 0 Share this post Link to post
MrGlide Posted April 20, 2016 ya the pic could use more contrast, and the imp's spine should curve from gravity, I know in the original it looks good but the close up looks funny. If I get my pendisplay to quit acting up I'll mess with this one. 0 Share this post Link to post
gemini09 Posted April 20, 2016 I couldn't agree more --- it's an excellent initiative. The Civ said:That'd be really rad if the colors weren't so flat, unaffected by light, and textureless. Back to the sewers with you! 0 Share this post Link to post

I would love it if more artists would consider donating their drawings to community projects to use as background graphics like INTERPIC, TITLEPIC, ... Well I believe the reason for your first point is that the highdays for doom 1 & 2 creativity are over. ofcourse there still is lots going on but artists that make theme-related content such as fanart for a game or movie, is usually done in the period when it's really booming. I'm speaking for myself here when i say that when i make doom related content it's out of nostalgia, not because i have a purpose to do something with it in the game. thats why i think there's more fanart being made than actual ingame content. To adress your second point. I think it's a great idea, but donating is not always as attractive as it would seem. An artist will fear ...art-rape. Not everyone has a good eye for composition, coloring, hell even combinations and themes. It's all a matter of personal taste ofcourse. But this being said i would like to set a good example to get this going for those that still are being creative with editing and mapping. Would love to see what's being done with it. Feel free to recolor, crop, ... whatever but credit is always nice tho. 0 Share this post Link to post
