So how are these?
My 2nd and 3rd sprites...

Here is my take on the "Sniper mock up"

Wow! That looks really cool considering how bad my original sprite was.

But I guess that is what spriting is about-any sprite I make is a step into perfection.

Btw I think I made the sniper too small for cc right?

No, that's about right.

Just posting some recent random undertakings for any feedback.

A slightly improved or alternate sword sprite (yay for buster swords):


And a 40K Melta bomb inspired Behemoth Grenade:


Working on a new non-ugly skull cage for beneath the Behemoth's helmet. Will post when done.

@LFOW: Very nice, Maybe some edges need a bit touching but gorgeous to look at.

Cool to see you again


Now for my want of sprite feedback hungriness..

imho you've over-AA'd the blue outlines and soft-shaded it too much (as well as pillowed the grey section at the bottom).



P means pillowed (the visor could use some work still and the area around the vents is unconvincingly lit but I'm too tired to do further work on it) B means banded. It still needs work but whatever.

Lowest: Fantastic, think the grip on the sword should be bigger if it's gonna be held by the behemoth, though. The digger grip as a pin is really cute.

Coop: Looks too soft to me, as Geti said.

Other guys: yeah if you don't get replied to post it in a couple weeks and someone will probably get annoyed enough to help you.

@LFOW: Might wanna beef up the handle as said before, aswell as possibly change the blade to gray, the shiny orange doesn't fit that well imo.
Oh and don't do gradient hading like that, it doesn't really add anything and it's just confusing for the mind to watch.
Also, maybe have both the cable there and the blue glowy it?

The general shape of the blade is quite okay though, nothing to comment on there.

What I was going for was that the entire thing isn't actually the blade. More like, it's meant to look as such, but only the grey edge is the "blade".

In actual function I planned for the blade to be an energy glowy yellow "edge" projected where the grey edge like a beam edge type weapon thing. The idea is that it would look as it does in that sprite and when the fire button is held it emits a laser edge along the blade edge that damages things, or something like that.

Have an edit then

(handle is bad yes I know)

Over-exaggerated is a nicer way to put it.

Hey here's some guns I've been working on. I noticed I had a shotgun, a revolver, and that electro gun thingy all looking relatively similar so I decided to make a gun pack or faction out of them. I added an assault rifle and a hunting rifle (do they call them battle rifles?) but I'm having a lot of trouble designing an SMG I'm happy with. I also want an LMG but I don't even know where to start with that. I'd appreciate some help on some new designs as well as critique on what I'm already happy with.

Blue box is the more finished stuff and outside is smg designs in various states of completion. I want to go for a very heavy, rough look and can't seem to nail it.

They don't look too solid because of lack of proper outlines.
it reduces the structural integrity of an item the way our yes see it, aswell as compromises it to background color influence.

meh maybe my background is too dark; I thought not outlining the top was working out pretty well. I have truly fallen from my "all outlines all the time" policy.
