Erik Posted September 17, 2004 Hello, The development of my next megawad, Scythe 2 is closing to an end soon (working on map25 atm). But I completely suck when it comes to making graphics. The stuff I need to be done for this project is: TITLEPIC INTERPIC HUD background. If you are interested and are a reasonably skilled graphics author with experience from working in 320x200 format with the doom palette, drop me a pm/mail or reply here. 0 Share this post Link to post
Julian Posted September 17, 2004 Theme? General ideas about what you want? 0 Share this post Link to post
Erik Posted September 17, 2004 Well, the wad is multi-themed, I am looking for anything that looks cool really. 0 Share this post Link to post
Nmn Posted September 17, 2004 I can do the title and interpics. However, if the amount of Artist's job grows (like You will need sprites or weapons) than I'm afraid I won't have enough time. But for now I'm available. First explain me what is You want to have with the title, inter and HUD (style, colors, etc.) 0 Share this post Link to post
Erik Posted September 17, 2004 Well, in most of the maps you travel through some starry gate (blodrip1 in gothictx.wad) when you exit, so I suppose some space-style interpic would be nice. For the titlepic, I have no idea whatsoever, anything goes. HUD, no idea either. These are the only graphics I'll ever need for this wad, no sprites, textures etc. 0 Share this post Link to post
Nmn Posted September 17, 2004 Attempt at the Interpic: It's gif, tough it has the pallette applied and it's ready to be put into the Wad. 0 Share this post Link to post
Erik Posted September 17, 2004 Hmm, it doesn't seem to look att that great in-game. Dunno if I made some stupid error when loading it into the wad or if it just doesn't work that well. Edit: it's probably because of the lack of reds in the doom palette, something less red would probably work better, the stars look nice. 0 Share this post Link to post
Erik Posted September 17, 2004 It's better, not sure about it though. It's my top pick for the moment, but I imagine that it's possible to make something even better. Btw, it would be nice to add "SCYTHE 2" and maybe my name as well somewhere in the pic. Thanks for the effort! Edit: about Julian's pic: I like it. The only real problem with it is that the SII logo is hidden behind the "TIME" field on the interscreen. 0 Share this post Link to post

Erik Posted September 17, 2004 yep, both those are ok. I am still a little concerned that neither pic looks fantastic in-game though (although not crappy either). I suspect that it's rather hard to do something better, considering the resolution. 0 Share this post Link to post
