You need something like vista/xp paint/graphicsgale/gimp.

You can download the old xp paint here. It will work if you use it(the conversion to palette being the first it and the old version of paint being the second it).

I use Photoshop CS4 Which can be helpful because it keeps the Image in palette when you edit the image... so you can make the sprite and save it and use it instantly.. Also its decent for spriting.

Making a new unit for my mod. An Android of some sort... Heres the sheet as its a work in progress



Any Suggestions?

EDIT: Woops... Sry for the double post.

If you want to be extremely lazy you could probably make the arm extend by just having that pole bit in the middle get longer, as if it's telescopic or hydraulic or something.

I suggest you stay away from the AAL color scheme.

It's a turn off.

As long as he does it interestingly, which I think he has, he'll be fine.

Bah, Numgun's is more of a Black and Dark Orange... Mine is a sort of Gray and Yellowish Orange.. I use the entire grayscale



Done, done, and done Offsets make me want to kill someone...

Here's a pic of it in game..

I disagree with this entirely.
You can't rule out an entire colour scheme purely because numgun used it, that would be lunacy.

Yeah I think it looks great. And just because numgun has used those colours doesn't mean you shouldn't. It's a good looking colour scheme.

Yeah it looks way better when it's put together. I retract my previous statement.

so this is an attempt on making a apple. (my first sprite)



tell me if i need to change anything

-Not in palette; red in CC palette is horrendous anyways
-More contrast between colours
-no outlines
-too big
-You do have a good grasp of shading, though

quick thing for you

PS: sorry for the lack of page long essay, I'm disheartened by tests i was unprepared for and my first energy drink withdrawl.

Edit: This is something I made a couple days ago. I thought the shotgun turned out well so I thought I'd make a revolver. I don't normally make such shiny sprites; tell me what you think.

I changed my colors to match the pallet and decided to make it a "poison apple"


not shiny? looks shiny and pretty to me

Hmm, needs more "OUTLINE!" to it.. like this
