This is the second release. I need to finish some artwork, and correct some offsets still.

Post in this topic or PM me if you want to do some artwork.

Black portal gun?
gravity gun?
satellite dish?
micro-sized death-star styled lazer?

how big, and does it have to be all black like that?
(that's not very descriptive)

-edit-
my bad, i didn't read the entire thing.
How much bigger than the AK,
grey like concrete, or grey like steel?
any specific detail?

also, 2 handed grip like a shotgun, or like a gatling gun? (trigger + barrel / Over-top handle and switch + holding to aim with the other hand)

Just show me your attempts, and I will tell you if I like them or not. I'm not even quite sure what I want, and I don't want to limit anyone else's creativity with my demands. At least, not too much.

Here's a quick try at it. It should probably be a little bigger though.

yeah, i can't sprite for ****. I was trying to get more information for everyone else who CAN sprite.
which in my opinion is like 9 people on DR, including the official stuffs.

Yeah it is a little small Breen. You're heading in the right direction though, thanks for your attempt. I'm thinking handles on top would look good. Give the illusion of a larger weapon without a massive sprite.

actualy those would still be massive, you would still need to sprite where the arm is gonna go over.

it would have to be longer (smaller than a flack cannon though)
and you'll have to change the offsets for the 'offhand' i think its called. (the 2nd hand where its 2 handed)
it will need to be higher, and farther forward than the first.
the sprite will NEED to be placed further back, and down (hip level, the arm that isn't over will overlap with the side, for almost half of the gun. the back half obviously)
keep that in mind for sprites AND code ( i forgot when i was making my fusion blaster which i need to re-do the ammo for)

Alright, I made it slightly bigger, and added few things.

It's moving away from what I am imagining. There's too much focus on the body, and I want the focus to be on the front, where a lot of action will be happening. I like power meters, like lines of dark blue to light blue/teal fades. I think they help in bringing the attention to the front of the gun, where players can expect a lot of power to be coming from.

I know about arm placement of the actor and all of that Miles. Thanks for the other tips.

well she said its to big, try getting rid of a row or two of pixels off the back end, and make that satelite lookin thingey a bit bigger, more detail on that.
i actualy think the amount of detail you've put in is nice, untill the front of the gun, which is what you see the most of. it also looks to be a good size (except the front)

its kinda like a semi-truck, without a trailor. you know, big hulking thing with ITTY BITTY WHEELS.... it looks kinda naked.

its not that it was 'wtf is that' as much as, i just saw it and that was the first thing that came to mind.

its not the sprite, but the design of what you did the sprite of.
i've seen much worse sprites than that. trust me. (points to grey clones)

You should have said you didn't like it purple, I'd have redrawn it.
