I really like the new Pigmen.But I got a thought about a little improvement (maybe). I don't know if it'd really look better for everyone, but maybe try out to change the eyes to white. I just tried it out and think it makes them look... more dead/dumb/whatever :DMaybe you'll give it a try.Nevertheless - really cool work!
I originally started out with the eyes being white and thought they blended in too well with the pinkness of the whole body. I think the yellow eyes give a good contrast, and better let you know if you're looking at their front or back from a distance.
The zombies are great, They look like the Zombies from the Popcap game "Plants VS. Zombies". Were that the inspiration? Either way the pack looks absolutely wonderful :smile.gif:
Actually, I had the zombies from "Zombies Ate My Neighbors" in mind when I was making the skin. Both used zombies in the same color(ish) suits, with light green skin; though nothing was really taken directly from either, as I wasn't looking at any pictures or anything when making the texture.
Thanks everyone! I'm glad you folks are enjoying the new skins.

Sounds cool the white eyes can i see it :biggrin.gif: I might like it.

Who would read signatures ... You just did Made by me below
I personally would love to see a wolf texture from you. :biggrin.gif:
I'm working on concepts for them now!
And I'm officially putting it out there... "vonDoomCraft: HD Mobs" will have passive mobs once it's done!
First, though, I have to do the Spider and some slight tweaks to the Zombie.
I think I'd also like to do another, more original, Creeper; Though I haven't started thinking up anything for it yet.
Here's some concepts for the Pigs and Chickens though!

awesome stuff... thanks heaps (again) for these awesome mobs
good to hear you are doing passive mobs as well.
i just wish now that someone could make mo'creatures look like this!
i just wish now that someone could make mo'creatures look like this!
Yeah. Unfortunately, that's one thing I won't be doing. Frankly, it would take entirely too long, and with DrZhark adding new stuff in all the time, it would never get finished.
I do have some 32x or so Horse skins I made for myself and never released, but they're nothing like the style these skins are in.
Honestly, I don't think they're anything worth making a thread over, but I may throw a download together post 'em in the Mo' Creatures thread. If only because I think some folk might like a pink Pegasus.
I would like to do some "vonDoomcraft" skins for the Millenaire mod later down the lines... But again, there's the issue with the mod creator constantly adding new stuff (and Kinniken updates that mod like 3 times a day). If Millenaire ever gets to a more stable release point (and I don't have tons of other skins to do), it'd definitely be the mod I'd love to skin.
Before even thinking about that, though, I have to finish up the "HD Mobs", and then throw together another minipack called "vonDoomCraft: Halo HUD" or something like that.
When it's 100% finished, it'll hopefully have:
Health , Armor, & Inventory GUI
Menu background & buttons
Spartan Helmet "PumpkinBlur" overlay
HD Spartan Character skin (done in a slightly sleeker style than my current skins, but very similar!)
HD Armors made up of various neat looking armor bits from Reach
Stuff like Chest, Trap, and Forge Menus I'm not going to bother with; as they're such a large part of gameplay, I'd rather let people use their current favorites than stick them with semi-bland Halo looking ones.
I'd also like to see if I can find a modder to throw together a simple mod that enables a constant "PumpkinBlur" type screen overlay without having to walk around with a jack o' lantern on your head.
@Emperor Doom
So If I could draw, the only thing i'd add to the chicken is stiches/scars like on the creeper to make him a real official spy chicken. :tongue.gif:
I messed around with the chicken texture the other day, trying my hand at it and I couldn't do it. But I still like how it turned out. I gave him crooked eyes, so i think that'll be the best I can do. LOL
hands down best texture on the planet, this texture has givin life to my minecraft, and changed the way i play, i chase mobs just to see them up close because they look so good. more items! lol....I APPRECIATE YOUR TALENT AND THANK YOU FOR SHARING IT WITH THE WORLD! I check everyday to see whats new, how far you have gotten. cant wait for mutant spiders.i cant see anything wrong or needing improvement at all...100% boss
No, sir. Thank you for commanding the clit! Without such guidance, lord only knows what havoc the clit would unleash on the world!
Seriously though, thank you very much for the kind words! I'm just happy that you, and so many others, are enjoying my textures.

As I'm sure you found out, adding intimately small details like stitches to the chicken texture would be a wee bit of a pain; if only because the chicken model is made of such tiny boxes (plus, there are so many of the chickens in game, doing 256x textures would slow down most computers, so one has to keep them at a reasonable size).
I like what you did with your chickens though!
Something about the body feathers seems a bit off, but I love the what you did with the heads! The wavy cartoon-like head feathers, and the full red face work very well!
Anywho, in an attempt to keep the thread on topic, I figure I'll post some random thoughts I've been having about the upcoming mob skins... Everyon please feel free to comment or throw out other ideas! I'm just kind of brainstorming out loud here...
For Spiders, most of the detail will be in the face. I figure, I'll draw in cool eyes, some sort of mouth (still conceptualizing) , a Black Widow-like design on the abdoman, and the rest will basically be random squiggles. I think it'll work well enough, with them colored dark.
Most of the passive mob textures will be around the same resolution as the Slimes (smaller than the rest of my textures), to keep video lag down. There will be some loss of detail, but honestly, 99% of Minecrafters are used to their game looking like Super Nintendo anyways.
As far as outlining details on the passive mobs go, most of the work will in their heads/faces. Aside from maybe the wolves, none of the animals represented in the game have body musculature that really requires all that much be drawn in. Basically, the bodies will have some muscles/details ( the pigs' tail, etc) outlined, but mostly the bodies will be down to the coloring/shading and tiny squiggles.
Wolves will be the biggest pain in the ass to make, as they're basically sidekicks and should look nicer than the rest of the mobs. I'm also not sure if I want to make them into Wolves, per say. Maybe they could be hellhounds, Worgs, beagles, or whatever. Right now, I'd like to make them into vicious black wolves, but then I'd have to make an Orc skin for the player. :smile.gif:
I agree that wolves should look nicer(no stitches, ect) I would like to see a vicious black wolf personally, something muscular fierce, and strong looking.

A 32x32 texture pack that keeps faithful to the original textures, items, and gui.

The more I think about it, the more inclined I am to do them as black wolves. Maybe give the tame ones a spiked or chain collar.
Anywho, I finally came up with something for the Spiders, and I'm actually pretty excited about it. The whole thing is basically anatomically correct for a spider, aside from a few liberties taken here and there to make it spooky.
Aside from the face, the other major details will be:
Spinnerette on the ass, with some web dangling out.
Tarsal claws on the ends of the legs.
A big spooky red skull on the dorsal side of the abdomen!
Here's a crappy shot of the concept and a very early preview of the texture:
WOW!! I Love this texture pack ALOT but the thing is you see my minecraft is like comepletely broke it just wont run cant update its just dead.. so if some1 could help me thru skype or TeamViewer add me skype : Mrcodfx pls help! really want this texture D:
Black wolves I think would be the design I'd be the most excited about with your particular art style. The spiders are turning out pretty awesome though so far. It's hard to come up with an inspiring design for spiders I found; but you have some solid ideas going with that art there :smile.gif:
I'd be awesome if you make the wolves look more like real wolves in terms of color and fur design style thing :ohmy.gif:
Do you already have any plans for them?
Love these mobs! Keep it up. Don't stop what you're doing here.
I made a remix of your zombie. If you're interested I would love to show it to you or post it here, whatever. It's really only a few tiny changes that would be used as an alternate or something.
