Aliens Inventory

[Volutar]

Actually awful civilian image for inventory screen.
Here is one of alien inventory images from TTS.

HAHA  i said i needed a pixel artist  It you think that was awful you should see the on i tried to draw from scratch.
 That was actually a quick test to see IF PCKVIEW could transfer one out into a BMP ( as some of them throw errors) and back in again, if they did not work i was going to try BBtoolkit. I was going to try to add detail ontop that image and use it as a guide for the shape and colour of a civilian male, that image is freshly  using HQX .

Do you have all the TTS ones? I never had TTS so i dont know what they had? I was just going to do useufopedia images but if the work is already done.

Here is my floater , i hope you liked it more than my civilian     i think hes to big, i will change it later tonight

[luke83]

i made the floater smaller

[Volutar]

There was only 4 types of non-xcom inventory images in TTS - sectoid, floater, snakeman and muton. Though 7 more reserved (they are blank).

[luke83]

They look like they have a higher detail level than my ones, did they use the same format?

[Volutar]

They are using 24bit BMP, and they didn't use any palettes.

[luke83]

So thats better than the original right ?

SHould i stil lmake these as placeholders until version 2.0 when this will be handled? I assume they will want tftd working before they go into more detail?

[Volutar]

There's no answer for that. Noone knows, I guess SupSuper either.
But good point is not to beat the gun.

[luke83]

 I am not worried about beating the gun with these, the alien one take about 15min each to do so there not to bad. I was just going to have them there IF they where needed.

Male Civilian version 0.5 attached. Still a lot to do

Maybe this should be moved to the experiment/modding section also.

I'd say it's a little bit out of proportions, but it's a good start.

[luke83]

Really , i used the outline of the original girl sprite over my previous battlescape sprite to get the basic shape and layout, the only really change to the shape i am going totriy to make him fat ( thats why he has manboobs)

[luke83]

I did the chryssalid so i thought i better have a go at the Zombie as well , problem was there was no good images of the zombie that i could find ( please if you have one let me know ) so i had a go myself , the result is not very good   On the plus side , a Zombie with a Gun i must remember to update that battle sprite also

Update : Ethereal added also

[michal]

Did you do that zombie yourself? If so, really good work

[luke83]

Kinda , i took the battlescape image , scaled it , then spent 2 hours shaping and  stuffing around with it to get it to that level, i am glad you like it.  I am not in love with it yet but honestly its the best thing i have ever done without Cutting and Pasting Its funny to think the first time i ever used any paint product ( mspaint OR gimp) was with my Red gang ( on a side note that red gang may be getting a cybernetic upgrade in the coming months.).

[SupSuper]

I agree, the zombie looks really cool. The civilian needs some work though, something about his face really creeps me out.

Btw, you might wanna use some bright color as background when editing these, makes it easier to spot details that blend into black (eg. your ethereal has a near-black line on the right of the sprite).
