Sprite Request

Red_Wizard

<div class="IPBDescription">oldskool?</div> If at all possible, I'd like it if someone could make a version of the explosion graphic from X-Com as a replacement for the Resource Nozzle spray

Here's an animated .gif of the animation from X-Com

I'm quite sure the resource node emissions only show the first frame of the sprite, so you can only use a single frame from the sequence.

Hrm, that does put a damper on things...

I guess for the best effect, one of the middle frames where the skull is most visible would be best. :/

Do you have a particular preference, or should I pick for you?

Thank you for the confirmation, <b>l0tus</b>, much appreciated.

I took the liberty of choosing which frame to use, and then do a little touching-up (resizing, transparency adjustment, width reduction to remove clipping into resource nozzles, etc.)
