Top row of pixels or the row below?

>one problem I notice having tried using the garand and m-14 as ground sprites back in the late 90s is that they do appear rather Long on the ground so you'll have to scale it so it appears about the same size as the Shotgun
Well yeah, I use GZDoom so I can scale it to be proper.

>You'd be surprised how large it can look even if you scale it down to a level you think is appropriate
That's a full sized battle rifle to you, it'll dwarf the AR and shotgun by far in length. It'll be longer still with the bayonet.

Well, I got a generated list from the hard drive people, and so far Doom related stuff that's damaged/corrupted include
>hexen.wad
>GoldenSouls 1.0
>strife.wad
>chex.wad
>only a few images
All things that are replaceable. Well, I can go without replacing Hexen
Very little else was broken, mostly stuff I already had backed up.

I'm thinking I'll get to finishing up the Garand rifle (there will be much pinging and stabbing).
Photoshop's shrinkage issue kind of drives me insane, but if I'm really careful and squint (and employ judicious use of Undo), I think I can finish the last of it.
Say, can Gimp do that thing Photoshop does where you can use rectangular markers to cumulatively (de)select fields with? That shit is good as fuck for spriting.

If I want to give a rifle a bayonet, but the sprite graphic of the weapon in question wouldn't have a conventional bayonet visible from the perspective of the graphic, how would I best convey it?

Should I just try to work out an angled sprite for the reloading and stuff where you can see the bayonet mounted out on the end there? Or should I just put it on the pickup sprite and call it a day?
