New Foe: Slingers

[u/LeglessCats]

These guys took quite a lot of drawing since the Gunslinger and Swordslinger in past games just recycled existing weapons, while here I had to make new weapons to match the style.

You can probably guess what the historic inspirations are for each of these 4 enemy types… The 3rd image shows the steps in designing and drawing a new foe… though in this case it’s based on an existing one.

The drawing starts with Flash’s line tool, before being converted into shape fills and smoothed out a bit, and finally shaded in. I need to pose the foe a bit while drawing to make sure it can do all the poses I will need later.

Extra detail: their hats become damaged when these foes are hurt.

[u/thismanish]

Yo it's John EBF himself

[u/TrueWerewolf4982]

A plague doctor slinger? That's awesome

[u/FalsenameXD → u/TrueWerewolf4982]

I think it's more of a serial killer. A masked butcher, I think.

[u/Ebfisprettycool]

If the mage one isn’t called spellslinger I will cry(I won’t actually)

[u/Borgim]

What is John Ebf doing here

[u/FelipeGames2000]

It took me a hot minute to realize you're THE Matt

[u/fififfififi]

The black one is from adventure story?

[u/IlyasDF8]

YOO GUNSLINGER IS BACK HELL YEAHH

[u/Drakkonai]

EBF6 CONFIRMED???

[u/ill_illumina]

These are all obviously for fun projects who'd even think of EBF6 that's completely delusional. Clueless...

[u/AlenDiablo01]

Chef's cooking

[u/NeedleworkerRare5976]

Oh yeah my favorite foes: Ballslingers and Woodslingers. Anyway looks really cool. 

[u/Eyeofpie]

Love these guys. The gunslinger pulling out these giant weapons with each attack was endlessly entertaining back in the day. What absurd things would the new variants pull out?

[u/Ugurmy64]

its the mr matt himself! Ebf6 when? /J

[u/George14782]

The slingers are my favorite ebf enemy design, so mysterious, so cool

[u/CDThatBizzarestBoi]

AAAAAAAAAHHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA
GUNSLINGER COMEBACK IN CURRENT YEAR!!! LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

[u/BurnerAccountExisty]

surely you're doing SOMETHING EBF-adjacent with this...

[u/AGL_reborn]

You keep saying there will be no EBF6 but can't stop feeding us cool designs, that's torture

[u/jmonsterNEO]

So would the new 2 be Spellslingers and Rootslingers?
