thats not a bad idea actually ill give it a go...

granted, it looks more like a Duke3d enemy than Doom if I'm honest, but half of that bloody game's monsters are in the beastiary anyway lol

Personally I wouldn't accept a Duke 3D monster for Doom unless it were very carefully edited. There are quite a few things available on the site from waaaaaay back that I wouldn't be comfortable signing off on now, either.

Compare the shading very closely: It's all too obvious where one monster ends and the other begins. You should definitely shadow the legs a little more to match the torso. (Being a regular "frankenspriter" myself, I'm well aware of the shading problems that arise.) Other than that, they mesh well.

As per Gez's suggestion, some horns or spines would do a lot of good. Perhaps a hint of bloodstains here and there.

have you actually played him yet rather than looking at the sprite? there is no moticable join at all, a static image doesnt really do it justice...

EDIT: I'll also point out that the archvile isnt "doomy" in the traditional sense of horns 'n' claws, he kinda goes for that look

Have you actually considered what I said rather than assuming I'm attacking your work?

I tried to point out an obvious visual inconsistency that could be fixed. I actually wasn't passing judgement on the submission itself.

Your attitude, however... Perhaps you should take a break for the rest of the day and work/communicate when your head has cooled off.

He is indeed right, the problem is that the legs darkest parts are about the middle brightness of the torso and that's where it becomes unrealistic. The legs definitely need more contrast.

And: Yes about the horns

Is this still being worked on? At the moment, it's a frankensprite between two monsters that don't fit in Doom.

Virtue your submissions have been stellar to say the least but you can do a lot better here.

I see a doom lizard . yes i am saying it is doom. There is freaking monsters (bats) as example that could go better in heretic-hexen or strife. This is doom, and this is a block of text.

Ok, I'll see I could take a look at this, and edit the sprites a bit.

What about a pinky-version?
