crusty_charlie Posted March 12, 2017 I made a crappy sketch of a small idea I had for FreeDoom's Archvile. I would make sprites, however, I have none such talent in that field. Sorry for the crappy hand writing. I wanted sort of an Eldritch Horror look to it give I always imagined the archviles behaving as such. Brief details: -Somewhat masochistic, laughing every time it is shot at. -Rather than fire, tendrils of green electricity engulf the player. -During it's electric attack, it's eyes become red. -When resurrecting enemies, it's eyes become blue. -The black strings hanging off were bits of skin peeled off due to age. -When alerted, a reversed voice says, "Fresh meat" -When killed, it's right arm breaks off as it becomes a pile of bones.Eyes both fall out -Also shrieks like a banshee when killed. -Very tall, has a very hunched over stature, hands nearly hanging over it's feet. 0 Share this post Link to post

crusty_charlie Posted March 12, 2017 Holy crap! That's actually pretty good! I like what you did with the eyes, looks like he's gone absolutely insane! 0 Share this post Link to post
Jayextee Posted March 12, 2017 I'm actually unsure what you're going for there with the green bits; are those eyes? If so, that's too cartoony and goofy. Unless they're kinda, I dunno, growths? Please excuse this terrible (especially the hands, I literally just got a new WACOM this week and I don't generally paint digitally - it shows) demonstration of shoulder growths: Something like this? No head and just a floating torso are kinda creepy, yeah? 0 Share this post Link to post
luckypunk Posted March 12, 2017 @Jayextee: I don't think that was the intention at all, but I love your interpretation. But I imagine the attack frames would be kind of hard to do. Standing on one hand and striking with the other? 0 Share this post Link to post
Jayextee Posted March 12, 2017 > Archvile > striking attack For serious, I didn't put much thought into it. Perhaps place itself on both hands and force a 'glare' at its target whilst green flames/magic/whatever do their thing? 0 Share this post Link to post
luckypunk Posted March 12, 2017 Forgive me, I think all those bones put a revenant in my head. I still like the idea of that one hand strike though, I just think it would be hard to do. 0 Share this post Link to post
crusty_charlie Posted March 12, 2017 I'm really appreciating the feedback here! Jayextee said:Unless they're kinda, I dunno, growths? Yes, those were eyes, yet you make a good point. I like the shoulder growths idea you've got going on, maybe when killed one or both growths could pop while gushing out with acid,goop,blood, or something along those lines that spills on to the rest of it's body. That would make a gruesome death! lunkypunk said:the attack frames would be kind of hard to do. Standing on one hand and striking with the other? I never knew how he would attack, maybe it could raise an arm and the growths (I plan to add growths to it's arms and other bits too.) could light up a certain color while pulsating as electricity runs up it's arm? I'll try to draw luckypunk's idea in action though. Same for Jayextee. I'll get back to here in a while with more drawings of this little guy. 0 Share this post Link to post
