I want to work on my ability to force creativity, and also my ability to work quickly.

Give me a sprite request and I'll work on it for 30 minutes and give you whatever comes out at the end.

I think I'd like to start with devices first and maybe I'll work my way up.

Okay. I'll try to finish those later today.

Make a HK416.

An awesome assault rifle sprite.
One like this.

Sorry Non I did the HK first because I thought it would be easier. I'll get to yours soon. Besides, I'll do a better job if I'm warmed up a bit.

Here it is. :/ Tear me up, Lizzard.

Exactly 30 minutes. I had a finished version at 15 minutes but then I scrapped it and made a new one (also 15 minutes).

Probably should have made my own colour ramp but whatever.

Prolly going to do Asklar's machine gun today and the TNT today, then the shield tomorrow.

Guys, bug me if I don't do 2-3 per day.

Looks like an AK.


Try adding more contrast and more defined shapes to your guns.
Things that might look simple and bland on pixel level might look great more zoomed out.

Btw might want to read up on this, quite handy to know.

Hm I think I went a little too strong on this one, and there's still a couple things I want to mess with... Oh well, I want to keep these to 30 minutes each.



TNT coming up next.

Edit:

Took me like 5-10 minutes, I just don't know what to do with it...

Remake one of these guns. Any or all.

This might be a stretch for thirty minutes of work, but sprite me the 'landing zone' designators someone proposed in my own "Give me something to do" thread.

And then harass me to actually do something with them, because that's the only way the mod gets made.

Thanks Contrary! It looks awesome.

Now I just need some space marines and my Quake 4 mod will hopefully get somewhere

Non you request things I have no idea what to do with.

Here you go, 13 minutes. I can do a round one if you prefer, but the picture you posted had more this shape.

Maybe I could just have a sort of bright area in the middle? I dunno, I think I'll probably come back to this one.

@Yoman: Me and Dragonxp are having a contest to see who can do the one in the bottom left hand corner the best, so expect mine today or maybe tomorrow.

@Grif: What do you want me to sprite exactly? Road flares or something?

edit: 4 more minutes



But now it looks like a balloon... Well since you're actually gonna use this let me now what you think and I'll keep tinkering until I get it right.

Apparently what people were thinking is basically a way to say that zone X is a landing area for team 1, and this zone is a landing area for team 2, etc. Basically a controllable way to designate team LZs, so I was thinking of more of like a 'force field' type of thing, since the mod would have to physically prevent craft from landing inside hostile LZ's.

I had something whipped together out of a bunch of sprite dump stuff; basically I was thinking two sort of 'shield projectors' on each side of each designated LZ, possibly with color coding for teams.

@Non: Oh yeah. Durr, I forgot about that. I'll redo this one.

@Grif: Huh. Hokay that will take me some time but I'd be interested in doing that.

Keep up the requests, guys.

edit:

Bleh.

It would be great if I got some critique too, even from the peanut gallery.

Top - Yoman's Original Gun
Middle Top - my take on it
Middle Bot - Contrary's Take on it.
Bot - My Edit of Contrary's

My revamp is a little forward heavy i must say.
Also tweaked cont's so the barrel aint so 'stuck on' looking.

Hm yeah dxp added a lot of great things to it. Here i just applied the highlight a bit more to other sections and cleaned up a couple clusters. I think I overdid it a bit though.

Yeah I think dxp's edit of my edit is the best rendition still.
