Grimm Posted June 27, 2003 I discovered something interesting just now. Take the Imp death sprites and the Demon death sprites, and put each frame next to each other. You'll notice a lot of similarites, most notibly that the both the Demon's and the Imp's right arm "disappears" (heh) during the death animation. There are a lot of strange similarities, especially qwhen you consider how different the Demon and the Imp are. Pretty interesting, I think. 0 Share this post Link to post

dsm Posted June 27, 2003 I think it's because it might look weird if the pinky fell from a slightly different angle. I dunno, just guessing. 0 Share this post Link to post

Or a Demon and a Spectre, or a Green Doomguy and a Red Doomguy, or a Cyberdemon at the location of 123,451 and a Cyberdemon at the location of 121,435! :P Anywho, I think they made them simular cause perhaps they felt that style of death was neato looking. :D 0 Share this post Link to post
NiGHTMARE Posted June 27, 2003 Someone once made a pink Imp. I can't seem to find it right now though. 0 Share this post Link to post

Grimm Posted June 27, 2003 What about the zombie and shotgunner? They're even closer... OH REELIE OMG CNT BELIVE SHOT AND ZOM THEY SIMI OMG Obviously they're similar. The Marine, the Former Human, and the Former Human Sargeant all all the same exact sprite, only recolored with new heads and guns. And the Marine dies differently. The Imp is just a redrawn version of those guys, too. The reason I find this interesting is because I would not think to find similarities between the Imp and the Demon, especially the arm thing. 0 Share this post Link to post

NiGHTMARE Posted June 27, 2003 If I remember correctly, the naked imp skin was made years ago, so probably not. 0 Share this post Link to post

It's just the angle of the sprite. 0 Share this post Link to post
SmellyOgre Posted June 27, 2003 I didnt know imps had hair, i thought they just had scaly skin. Or maybe it's an albino imp. 0 Share this post Link to post
Chopkinsca Posted June 27, 2003 I always thought the death sprite for hell knights and the baron of hell was a bit odd. I like the demon's death animation is cool though. And the Archvile.. I had it as my avatar at a website before. 0 Share this post Link to post

Grimm Posted June 28, 2003 It's skin. What? No they don't. Their arms fall behind the right leg. It's just the angle of the sprite. Alright, maybe it falls behind the leg, but it looks way more like it just disappears. (To me, at least.) It doesn't help that Kevin Cloud was a lazy sum and didn't draw different angles for the death sprites. Come to think of it, there weren't multi-angle deaths in Heretic, Hexen, or Duke Nukem 3D . . . I guess sprite artists must just be lazy in general. 0 Share this post Link to post
Goat Posted June 28, 2003 i always thought it was skin also. i dont find it scary if it had fur it would be kinda cuddly in a furry kind of way 0 Share this post Link to post

It doesn't help that Kevin Cloud was a lazy sum and didn't draw different angles for the death sprites. Kevin Cloud was the texture artist. And multiple death frames not only takes more time but also space. These people were on a deadline you know. 0 Share this post Link to post
