It actually helps a lot for defining shape to add outlines and remove banding.

Just thought I'd put this here

hopefully it helps.

I'm working on an undead soldier actor, and I'm having some trouble getting the right feel for the metallic bits.

if i could get some help or suggestions, that'd be nice.
I'm going for a partially rusted, once beige-painted metal.

Use more bigger shapes, single lines like that bunched together doesn't really work for what you want it for.

so, something more like this?


(i did some work on the non-metal bits as well)

I quite like that. Really nice work on the body, too.

Yeah that's nice, now put just a bit more work on the metal bits on the torso and it'll be awesome.

Would be cool if the bottom part was just exposed ribcage vs the brown shirt or under-padding or w/e that is under the metal armor part.

So I sprited an Ushanka hat. Boring times shine through. C&C wanted.

Uhmm,I'm kind of a new spriter and i'm seeking guidance of you guys.I need help
with turning THIS into a nice looking sprite(my other attempts were terribad)

It's supposed to be a gray undead mutant mushroom rhino
I gave up on the rhino,what do you guys think about this?

That is significantly better.
To improve your spriting, try starting with basic shapes, like prisms and other shapes with nice, flat surfaces. Once you have a good idea of how to do those, move on to spheres. Then, finally, mix them together to make complex shapes.

Asking for feedback on these weapons, the assault rifle, grenade launcher, and sniper rifle for a faction I'm messing around creating.


All weapons have mags in, the thing in front of the grenade launcher is the grenade it will be launching...
BMP is below

Tried to sprite an image from an art thread on this site. What do you think? I understand its really rough, since it was made very, very quickly... I also didn't realize CC has its own pallet, so I'll have to fix it later along with a whole bunch of other stuff.

It's not Promster's style, but it's very nice nonetheless.
