[WIP] Snake Lord Monster Sprite
[WIP] Snake Lord Monster Sprite
For anyone one who takes interest, I am looking for a "Snake Lord" monster for a project I am working on.
Ideally if should be about as tall as a player, similar height/width to the Jacko, maybe more width due to his tail.
My idea for it is to have a tail for legs, and a snake head. But with arms. A cross between giant snake, and a humanoid. I found this image on the web which is close to what I am looking for:
As for coloring/texture/animations, your free to experiment with what you (and others) like.
Thanks a head of time

Re: [REQ] Snake Lord Monster Sprite
I'll throw my pixels in... something like this?
Faux colored for an example of course.
Re: [REQ] Snake Lord Monster Sprite
The tail needs some work.
Re: [REQ] Snake Lord Monster Sprite
Let's see if this is what he want's first... it's why it's just a quick example !
Re: [REQ] Snake Lord Monster Sprite
Fother, can you make it larger?

Please do not send me any inquiries regarding player accounts on TMW.
You might have heard a certain rumor about me. This rumor is completely false. You might also have heard the other rumor about me. This rumor is 100% accurate.
Re: [REQ] Snake Lord Monster Sprite
Yes, this looks good! Great start.
I also like the upper body animation.

Re: [REQ] Snake Lord Monster Sprite
Besides being taller in the standing pose, did it need to be slightly bigger?
Just let me know, and I'll continue from there to make the base wireframe walk/stand/attack animation.
Re: [REQ] Snake Lord Monster Sprite
I honestly think the one on the right has a better size.
Can we get the bigger one that is a bit more finished with arms/tail. Its hard to do a size comparison with missing body parts
I'm not much of a graphics person. But I think the rule of thumb is, its easier to go down, then up. So can you make it bigger now then we size it down later if we decide to?
Also not sure about the red either.

Re: [REQ] Snake Lord Monster Sprite
False colored just to show the sections. I have to finish animating the outlines first, or at least create the body segments and their derivative motion frames for each direction, then color properly & piece together.
Re: [REQ] Snake Lord Monster Sprite
I request a proof of concept of the animation of this before going too far with the details.
This message used to be meaningful.
Re: [REQ] Snake Lord Monster Sprite
So.... what about the animation?
Tail moves, I say the upper body might bob back and forth too

Re: [REQ] Snake Lord Monster Sprite
Make it act similar to a cobra. When you get close to it the head area would flare out and flatten like a cobra. Also when you get real close it rises up similar to the png. When you walk far enough away from it, it lays close to the ground and has a more rounded appearance, which makes it look far less menacing. As for animation, have the tongue move in and out and the tail move slowly.
