And for everyone who's patiently been waiting for vDC update, let me officially appologize for the long delay.
Life has a way of kicking you on your ass once, and not letting you back up until its good and ready.
Rest assured though, that once I get back into the full swing of things, vonDoomCraft will be better than ever!
Last I heard, you hurt your hand and were having trouble working on these. I honestly thought it was so bad that you just discontinued it entirely. I'm real glad to see you back and I hope the hand is way better now.
Thanks dude!
Honestly, I had completely forgotten about the hand.
The last 6 months or so, directly after hurting my hand, basically went: throat infection, brother moves away, wisdom tooth, find out fiancee has been cheating on me for three months, another brother moves away, mono and a spleen/lymphnode infection, agree to raise the child of my ex and the schmuck she had been cheating on me with only to have her change her mind, car breaks, work sucks, yadda yadda.
And probably some other stuff I don't remember; as a lot of the time is a just a blur of pain killers and crippling depression.
So YEAH...
Again folks, sorry for the long delay, but at least now you can see why.
Also, I'm gonna update the vDC Zombie (i want to work in the muscle layer I've been using for my HD Player skins and redo the crappy blood on his head), and hopefully package it together with the HUD and Paintings (paintings MAY not be finished at the time), and hopefully have a new vonDoomCraft release for this weekend!
Wow, we sound totally identical right now. My fiance gave me mono which is how I found out she was sleeping with a coworker instead of actually working. When confronted, she claimed it was to find out if she actually loved me enough to be engaged. That supposedly I was her first love and she was unsure if it really was love or some overly dramatic total nonsense like that. I ended up moving several states away to avoid her entirely and she spent the next 8 years randomly popping into my life begging me back to pull the same stupid stuff every time I let her. No kids fortunately, but a lot of unpleasantness that has made me unwilling to do anything more than friends with benefits. So I feel for you, truly do. Life tends to go through suck phases sometimes. We all have them.
It includes:
- Updated version of the previous Mob Skins
- a Dr. Doom "Char.png"
- All new HUD & menu bits!
- All NEw paintings!
- SPECIAL SURPRISE: Animated Thor's hammer for the Diamond Sword!
(NOTE: the hammer WILL auto-adjust its' resolution, based on the size of your ITEMS.PNG! thus, I recommend using a High Definition ITEMS.PNG, like the one in PureBDCraft)
Try it out on its own, or add it your favorite texturepack(recommended!
Then come back and let me know what you think!
Doom! So glad you're back, man. Got a question: Before you came back, for the longest time you had some concept art for Endermen here. I've waited for you to come back this long and, don't worry, I'll wait patiently for other updates...just wondering what your plans were for that concept art or if it's already in with this update. Thanks, amigo!

Thanks dude.
I'm not entirely sure what I'm gonna do with the Endermen yet.
I'm still leaning towards the faceless Slenderman, but I have to look more closely at the way the heads animate before I decide for sure.
Before that though, I want to come up with something better for the Creepers. I'm thinking the same stitched idea, but a lot more Frankensteiny.
I just wanted to say that I added these skins into my PureBDcraft texture pack and its a match made in heaven! I can't wait to see what else you come up with. :smile.gif:

I'd love to, buuuut...
To be a full pack, I'd have to make a Terrain.
The Terrain, to keep up with my other textures, would have to be at least 128x.
My computer can barely handle Minecraft at 64x, and still crashes/freezes frequently (Especially while I'm MAKING TEXTURES, not just ingame)
Thus, I'm stuck calling it a stupid "Supplimental pack" until either $1800 drops out of the sky, or folks start donating towards a new computer. (And frankly, I think I'd have more luck waiting for money to drop from the sky)
So yeah, it's not by choice; And it actually pisses me off quite a bit that I can't do a full texturepack.
The little lights near the grip will glow sequentially as you charge up the bow, and I'm thinking of also making them blink on and off for a touch of awesomeness.
I do have to redo the outlines though.
Apparently my thick-black outlines don't work so well for Items when they're held in-game. Minecraft's way of making 2d pixels 3d basically turns my drawings into amorphous black blobs.
SO, gonna have to thin the lines out a bit, and make them colors other than black.
New Creeper and Spider concepts!
This time around, I want the creeper to have a more Frankenstein's Creature feel to it(Specifically, I went by the DeNiro version of the creature for inspiration). I'm thinking of using various fleshy-bit from the Zombie Pigmen and Zombie skins for the Creeper's flesh, and giving them different green tones.
For the Spiders, depending on whether body transparency is doable, will have a big open mouth (like my venom HD skin), with mandibles covering the bottom. Most of the body/leg detai will be in the texturework, not line drawings, so I didn't bother doodeling in any.
Man Doom, nearly every time you tease of upcoming additions I'm shocked by how consistently high quality everything is. You're a beast, man.
About the Enderman.... Take your time, brother. What do you mean by "head animation"? Do you plan to have their heads bob unnaturally back and forth!?!?? BROOOOO! That....I can't even give words to how amazing that would be! lol Ok ok...gotta get work myself out of my nerdgasm....h/o
*deep breath*
Now that you're back active, is there any way to get Signature Graphics to help promote you? I'm HIGHLY enthusiastic in promoting quality work. :wink.gif:

Well thanks dude! I try not to half-ass it too much.
What I meant by "head animation" is actually the opening of the mouths when you anger an Enderman.
Honestly, I haven't messed with the Endermen much since I got back into Minecraft, so I'm gonna have to check out their models and see how their heads behave, etc. before getting to actual work on the skin. (Same goes for the Blazes, Dragons, and the other new mob additions)
Also, I'll try and throw together some little support banners soon!

maybe the 2nd creeper could be made as an alt for randomobs support?
oh, and, sweet update!
JUST MAKE AN ENTIRE TP, WE REALLY DONT MIND!!
Thanks dude.
Good idea!

Animated Hawkeye Bow I'm working on.
