i created a new alien --- WIP - called ant man
« on: March 07, 2015, 04:28:09 am »
so i been working on this new alien sprite whole day finally works now. doesn't have proper ruleset floorb or bigobs yet . or sounds.

the alien is called ant man

is gonna be the ufo defense version of lobsterman but a bit different making sense of my other melee mod. they gonna come just before mutons and gonna stay until the end

they have hands and animation for holding stuff  but in the game they mostly gonna use this built in special attack im gonna make for them  and they will have some alien grenades and a mind probe at times and rarely pistols. the special attack is an LOS limited range attack of sorts that can also hit melee  stun damage. kinda like a combo  gun ranged/melee. the ranged component is a psi attack buletless instant travel with a type of special hit animation. is not real psi psi attack but is meant to look like one.

oh btw thy have 4 hands 2 for weapons and 2 for melee attack.

so is psi wielding, psi/melee attack mostly weaponless tough skin alien.

or if you got any ideas what do you think i should do with them?
(btw ignore muton commander there i used a muton to modify it into this and i was messing around with that hahaha)

Nice :)

I like the palette and the general look of this alien. The only problem I see is that the upper and lower arms both seem to grow from the same place, which doesn't look convincing. Do you thing you could rearrange them, or even (gasp) remove the smaller upper ones?

Looks interesting!  Good job so far.  Now it has me thinking that it would be cool to make a Kilrathi alien race from Wing Commander Series...hrrmmm.  Muton looks like a good one to start and add some really good bare handed melee.  I may have to dust off my poor graphic skills now....

That's what I was thinking.  Make the colors with more orange, red, and yellows.

but to stay true with UFO you need to name them not their actual race name but their look-like name. Lobsterman, Gillman, etc etc. Snakeman. It would be Feline Man o Felinoid or Lionoid or Tigeroid or Panther Man or something.  Lion Man?

Cat Man sounds a bit cheesy, but it's promising nonetheless.

Attaching an alternative, orange metal Muton sprite, might be useful in this department.
