Korp's sprites/artwork

[Korp]

Hello again, some of y'all might not know, but i've also been doing sprites for Freedoom too. Mostly rework/reshade current designs or enemies, and i think it's appropriate i share them around here too.

 

Here's some stuff:

Gorgeous, great job!

I really hope to see the bottom one replacing the current Lost Soul!

[MrFlibble]

Very nice indeed, thanks for sharing these!

Oh, I wasn't very aware of the test builds, only about the official latest release.

OMG I love the style!! It's like a cross between Metal Slug and Metroid ZM/Fusion!

[Korp]

Thank you all, i have forgotten about these threads lol.

Here's the new chaingun sprites!

[MrFlibble]

Oh, that looks very good!

 

I keep forgetting to ask: if the small trilobite is the Lost Soul replacement, what does the Pain Elemental counterpart look like now?

Are not worried of getting sued by Nintendo for that Lost Soul replacement?

I really doubt i can get sued for something so insignificant :P

[Rudolph]

@Korp Is it at least an original sprite and not one you ripped straight out of a Metroid game and recolored it?

[MrFlibble]

@Rudolph, what Metroid art are you talking about anyway?

[Rudolph]

@MrFlibble Do not tell me this does not look awfully familiar:

Well, as you can see, i provided 2 examples of my artwork, both look similar in style. So do you really think i ripped a sprite from Metroid?

And as for the design, i did not plan to draw any metroid creature; im unfamiliar with the game itself and i have never played or seen much from it. The design was more inspired by the Trilobite monster we currently have.

[Rudolph]

Really? Well, then, that is one heck of coincidence. Maybe you got the idea from it through cultural osmosis?

 

In any case, I like the design myself, I just do not want Freedoom to get into trouble with infamously litigious Nintendo, that's all.

Same, here, I have only vague knowledge of monster designs in Metroid games, and the Lost Soul replacement design naturally felt like a continuation of the trilobite theme to me.

 

But indeed sometimes there are rather uncanny resemblances between designs in different unrelated games, sometimes created completely independently from one another.

As said above, i dont think we can get in trouble with Nintendo for a design :)

Well, i found interesting to think that, as the trilobite gets older, their eyes merge into one singular eye. So i adapted that idea into this hatchling lol.

Fair enough but I don't see the point of making such a connection without providing visual evidence for comparison.

[Rudolph]

Well, I figured it would be easy to just Google Images "Metroid", but anyway, here you go:

Apart from the overall round shape and the inwardly moving mandibles, there's surprisingly little similarity IMO. That Metroid looks more like a jellyfish with mandibles than a crustacean like thing.

[Rudolph]

I am playing with the latest build of Freedoom and I am really enjoying the new sprites - minus perhaps the Pain Elemental. I am not really sure why, though: maybe because it looks a bit too much like the Trilobyte, only with a weird-looking thing coming out of its back? I do not know. The Metroid-like Lost Soul replacement looks great, however!

 

Here is to hoping you or someone else update the Spider Mastermind - and the Episode III epilogue screen - next!

All of those new sprites look great, can't wait to see how they'll look in game

I think you can right now, by downloading the latest autobuild.

Hey yall! sorry for my inactivity here, progress has been a bit slow due to other projects im in.
Anyhow, ive made a "smooth" version of the chaingun above, and i thought some peeps could see an use for it!

(Note: I would appreciate whoever uses these to also credit Blastfrog, since my work is based on his)

[CBM]

very nice. All this will provide much needed sprite updates to freedoom! :-)
