From a good example of new enemy sprites see HellForge

you draw the sprites ;)

Bro. I'm talking about putting them in the game...

Well, this clarification should go into first post. Because from how your post is written it seems you are asking how to make sprites. Sprite == picture.

 

Maybe if you ask how to add custom enemies, it would be more clear. You know, the right question leads to right answer.

To see things "the deprecated way", using DECORATE, download any one

of my monsters at http://chapsoftware.com/monstas.htm. Each is in their

own WAD file complete with DECORATE code, all the sprites that compose

each of a monster's views/actions as well as any additional sounds. They

can be loaded up along with another map wad as is, or can be picked apart

and combined into a project of your own choosing. These should help you

as a framework for pumping out your own monsters.
