Heretic textures

Heretical Thoughts Texture Pack v2 (2023-05-15)
This is a collection of custom and edited textures for Heretic that I've been compiling to use in my Heretic levels. They are mostly edits of Raven Software's textures with a few originals as well as quality edits collected from other community resources; see the included text and information contained in the WAD for full credits. There should be no rips from other commercial games.

Hexen textures

C.R.U.E.L. Texture Pack v5 (2023-05-15)
This is a collection of custom, edited and Hexen beta textures for Hexen that I've been compiling to use in my Hexen levels. They are mostly edits of Raven Software's textures with a few originals as well as quality edits collected from other community resources; see the included text and information contained in the WAD for full credits. There should be no rips from other commercial games.

ETTiNGRiNDER's from-scratch textures

Here are the textures which I painted from scratch. All of what's shown in the following sheet is included in both of the above WADs, but if you want a sheet version for making further edits and such, have a look at this. (Click for natural size)

ETTiNGRiNDER's custom sprites from scratch (imitating Hexen style)

These are some sprites that I made from scratch while trying to make them fit Hexen's visual style. Most are old and might not be the best quality or take into account Doom-engine aspect ratios.

The Chaos Sphere, as seen in the Hexen endgame. It's meant for the static holder and animated sphere to be combined.

Some props.

Some puzzle objects.

Heretic sky edits

Cutouts (plus a black recolor) of the Episode 1 / Episode 4 hills for insertion onto alternate sky backgrounds

Edited Hexen sprites

These were created by taking sprites from Hexen and altering/remixing them, and can be used for Hexen projects.

Lit variants of the candle stubs, plus alternate color versions of the two heights:

White candle with normal flame, based on the black candle with blue flame sprite:

Edit of the wall candles to match the black & blue single candle:

Edits of the various decaying corpse sprites.

Edits of the destroyable suit of armor scenery:

Cleric hands based on the Fighter's Quietus poses:

Cleric standing frames:

The Amuscaria weapon edits

These are some old remixes based on weapon sprites by the outstanding Amuscaria. It's possible that some of them might not be very palette-friendly.

Mixed with Hexen weapons:

Mixed with Heretic weapons:

Mixed purely from Amuscaria's sprites:

Multi-source remixes

These edits were remixed incorporating sources from multiple games; while problems are probably unlikely be aware that they could pose a copyright issue if used. They might also be paletted strangely depending on your intended purpose.

Quake/Hexen texture mixtures, intended for Hexen (these do not appear in the texture WAD above):

The Dissolution of Eternity knight's sarcophagus texture redone in Zedek's Tomb style (Rogue Entertainment / Raven Software):

A mixture of Hexen textures with Daikatana and Heretic elements.

Strife Candelabra in Hexen style (Rogue Entertainment):

Hexen chain ends using graphics based on the dungeon textures in Hexen II:
