Post first try at modding.....
hello everybody, i have just started using some of the modding templates that azukki put in here in
"mod making" to make my own faction, which i will post in the mods section when i am done.....
meanwhile i will edit this post whenever i have made something new, also pictures is available soon.....

below is the first picture of my faction "Brainz".
in the picture is "Brainz" himself who is a brain-unit, next is the B-SMG-Slug which is a heavily modified smg for onehanded purpose, thereafter is the AS-4K "Pink Cloud" Auto-sniper and lastly the MP3 "Bongo Brothers"-player which only plays music when pressing the firebutton.....

you probably shouldn't have bothered to make this thread till you actually had something to put there, but nevermind.
Hope we can help you learn!

Edit: nevermind. Looks alright for a first mod, but you need to add shading, and your actor's pretty bad, you'll need to do more custom sprites if you want to survive the flamers and trolls on this forum (like me!)

well a modder can not get better if he dont know what he does wrong.....
and as said i put it here to see how people reacted to it.....
and about that they dont look to well is because i am not wery good at spriting myself.....
lastly i got the ideea of making this mod because i have played many othe mods which has been fun at first but got boring because there are almost no competition from the enemy side when using for example: any weapon from the DSTech mod.....
the point is that i wanted a mod which would make the original weapons and characters seem powerful,
well Brainz is easily killed by only one shot from the pistol.

Brainz does not look very good because he is only hands, feet, eyes, jetpack and a helmet,
So no arms nor legs or body, and that is how i want him to be, a little odd in other words.

The Sniper Rifle looks good, but add some more "not Retarded" People. Or a Box.
Make a Box.

It's generally not a good idea to release your first mod; however, this isn't all that bad. Maybe if you made the actor a little less dopey, added some shading here and there to the weapons and so on, this could progress to a better mod. Well done!

Well i said that i am NOT very good at spriting and if you dont like my character so much then i will just say that this character has been sort of a signature for me in many ways.
Also as an answer to Gotcha´s question about the
"bongo-brothers" player: it plays a happy tune in Super-mario-style with bongo-drums as main instruments (can be found at newgrounds the artist is Nintechno).

If there are any good spriters around the PM me with ideas (preferably pictures) of how i could make my things look better. :grin:

The first thing I thought of when I saw the "Bainz" was Ray Man. And yeah, no one was really good at spriting when they first started modding. Except for systmh... For the shading, try to imagin what the would look like if they were 3D and where the sun would be. Than, add different shades of the gray to give the shadowing.

ONCE AGAIN
as said: i am NOT a very good spriter myself.

Another thing about why my character looks the way he does is because i "tried" to resprite the parts for the "light soldier template" but it didnt go to well, so i just got rid of the arms, legs and body.....
Then i got the idea of using Brainz (which was originally the main character in one of my own handpainted comics(3 years ago)).

To make the sprites better, you want to shade them and add some texture. Having it just one or two colours makes it look absolutely horrible. Also, you'll want to scale down the sniper rifle. From what I can tell, it's a bit big.

It appears you were asking for ideas for how to improve your mod. That's what I was doing. I wasn't saying anything bad about your mod, I was only helping you to understand how to sprite.

To Morbo!!!: The sniper is supposed to be big, it fires slugs that weights 4 kilograms hence the name AS-4K(Auto-Sniper 4 kilograms).

To CaveCricket48: Well i got that, But i dont usually work so much in Paint.
