Blastfrog Posted December 16, 2015 I've had the photos for it for a while, but hadn't gotten around to digitizing them until now.

MrFlibble Posted December 16, 2015 Pretty cool! Does the sprite account for aspect correction? BTW, I think the player doesn't have to be left-handed. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post

jmickle66666666 Posted December 16, 2015 both the hand and the gun itself need some serious shading/polishing work, but the design is alright. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
frithiof Posted December 16, 2015 Very nice. :) A possible suggestion: maybe make the holes on the top of the slide glow? Kinda like how the holes in the rocket launcher glow, but to a much milder extent on the pistol, but only during the firing animation? It doesn't necessarily have to be realistic... I'd be happier with something that just looks cool. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Da Werecat Posted December 16, 2015 Fun fact: ZDoom's broken pistol flash timing looks very aggravating with these sprites. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post

My biggest beef with the pistol (in general, relating to Doom) is that it's your starting weapon, and I think it should have a little added flair. I mean, we don't usually spend a significant amount of time looking at it in most maps, but since it is what Freedoomguy starts out with, and it's implied that this is his personal weapon since you can't actually pick up pistols from anywhere else, why not make it look as cool as possible (while attempting to keep things somewhat tasteful; no ACOG + flashlight on it)? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
MrFlibble Posted December 16, 2015 BTW, may I ask what tools you have used to process the image, aspect-correct it and convert into the Doom palette? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Blastfrog Posted December 16, 2015 MrFlibble said:BTW, may I ask what tools you have used to process the image, aspect-correct it and convert into the Doom palette?I primarily use Paint.NET for my image editing, aspect ratio correction was done just by scaling it down with 6:5 ratio pixels, the palette conversion was done via making the image greyscale and translating the hand to the brown range. This is the original image if you're curious: Hard to tell because of the lighting, but the toy gun is actually blue. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
MrFlibble Posted December 16, 2015 Yes, yes, I am curious, thanks :) Did you just resize the image with the nearest neighbour sampling? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post

VGamingJunkie Posted December 16, 2015 It looks quite good, it actually reminds me of Duke 3D's style a bit more than Doom's. It's probably because your hand isn't gloved. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post

HorrorMovieRei Posted December 16, 2015 Great job as always. Question: Do you think you'd be able to make a new punching animation too? As much as I like the current one, the way it comes from the side of the screen is a little awkward and screws up when you use it in ports that allow wide screen resolutions(e.g. Gzdoom). 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Blastfrog Posted December 16, 2015 The widescreen issue has been fixed, but I do intend to make new punching sprites. Gonna use my hands and my dad's hairy and beefy arms. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
raymoohawk Posted December 16, 2015 i say this knowing it will get ignored like almost everything i say, but i think the arms should be unisex looking, like the ones in the eriance sprites 0 Quote Share this post Link to post

raymoohawk Posted December 21, 2015 the sprite looks good to me, but the pistol may be too small, i dont know if that is good or bad, considering that the pistol is weak 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Blastfrog Posted December 21, 2015 raymoohawk said:the pistol may be too small, i dont know if that is good or bad, considering that the pistol is weakThat was deliberate. The current pistol is too cartoony and doesn't fit in with the photo weapons that I made, it's also way too huge compared to the other weapons. The size is pretty close to Doom's size. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
MrFlibble Posted January 4, 2016 I've just checked out version 3 in-game, and it's simply amazing. Why hasn't it been contributed yet? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
