Ideas for Sprites.

[AtticTelephone]

I wanted to make some sprites for a certain project I'm working on, and I had some ideas, which I don't know how to create.

 

1: A Phantasm Sphere like in the movies, replaces Lost Soul sprites.

 

2: An evil shotgunner, like a fully possessed and eviler version.

 

3: A flying baron.

 

 

I made some concept art with an online pixel tool.

It's primitive, but it's good enough to be a sort of base.

 

I do not know how make a full spritesheet, since that would take a long time to do. I was thinking of asking someone to draw it for me, but I wouldn't know how to thank them.

This enemy had been prominently used in Scythe 2. It doesn't quite look like a baron, but it's close. If you really want to, maybe you could recolor this set to match the original's.

I'm talking about a baron with wings and stuff.

I kinda imagine it to look like a Cenobite and a Deadite at the same time.

Frankensprite it. Find some wings on another custom doom enemy and slap them on the baron

I tried to make him look like a Cenobite, it sorta worked. The top is a crown of spikes, the thing near the mouth is stitches, the shoulder things are spikes I guess, but the rest is unknown.

1.You find the winged enemy

 

2.Open the sprites for the winged enemy and baron in paint.net

 

3.Cut out the wings in every frame with lasso select, (Cut out the wings by lasso selecting the wings and clicking the "crop to selection" tool)

 

4.Copy and paste the wings by separate layers and attack them on

 

5.Rinse & repeat and celebrate

Progress on the sprites:

I think he could be a little more shaded/detailed, im not fully content with it yet.

Another update.

There are winged baron sprites on Realm667, under the name Lord of Heresy. It's also been recoloured, but you can find a version with the original colours in The Rebirth.

I tried that, and the closest I got to with my own sprite is a distorted shotgunner.

Well, I guess whenever I have a cool sprite idea, I'm gonna tell someone else to make it. Hey who was that one guy in Doom -1 that made all the cool hybrid sprites?

Cmon now, dont give up! Its possible that your using the wrong version of paint.net. Or you couldve messed up a step. Try it again, either that or watch a paint.net tutorial.

I think it's just the fact that Paint.net is not a spriting tool, also, I would absolutely hate doing every rotation, so I would probably ask someone else to do it for me using my concept as a base. Unless you can show me some cool trick or something, I can't sprite.

Spoiler

^ All done with paint.net. Paint.net is quite expendable and you can sprite with it very well

The brush is useless, the bucket is useless and the magic wand does everything wrong. Besides, those are incredibly detailed and take a whole day to make.

Well it seems as if you dont have confidence, im just gonna leave you off with this ZDooM forum that has been useful to me with shading. Even though hes using GIMP i still found much use out of it in paint.net. (Theres a tutorial further down the forum in a spoiler)

[CyberDestroyer]

I only got like 5 - 7 sprites to go, should be done soon.

Something about the patch, also, when you're making something that isn't zdoom, use PRBoom+.

Ok, that's epic, should we come up with a name for it? Stitched? Cenodite?
