Well if you borrow someone else's army yours always will suck

I honestly don't understand how so many people can go through life, hear people say "practice makes perfect" to them hundreds if not thousands of times and then not realise that practice makes perfect. It seems to happen with practially every new person.

Practice makes perfect.
No practice = No perfect.
Borrowing someone else's army != Practice.
Practice makes perfect.



Practice makes perfect.

will do boss man

I can't exactly join this game considering my current ability can I? I'm not saying I won't practise, I agree that it helps, but I'm not gonna get to play here without some help first.

Roast, did you see how shitty I was at first? Look at my first post in here, I sucked horribly. And now, while by no means good, I'm capable enough that I can make tentacle-plant-thingies.

Mine were shitty,look at it lol.

Ok, I'll rephrase that, does anyone have any ideas for PW armies I can use, since I have none.

Use your army, no matter how bad it is.
This isn't a collaborative art piece, it's a game. While nice sprites are desirable they're hardly a requirement.

Same, but one other question, what is a good program to make the pictures with? Is gimp or paint ok?

The question is, what program are you good at?
People have used MSPaint, Paint.net, GraphicsGale, Gimp, Photoshop, and so on.

Roast Veg, you need to make that yourself, remember, good armies, good fondness. [God knows how much I have violated these rules]

No other tools are required that don't come with the default MSPaint.
All you need is an un-aliased pencil tool, some colours, selection and a magnifier.

Other tools like GIMP and Paint.Net offer features you may be interested in such as layers, animated gifs and transparency but they come in useful less often than you might think.

So basically... just use whatever you are most comfortable using.
Paint comes with the advantage of already being installed and having a really simple interface.
Everything else is a bit more complicated and sometimes expensive but often adds extra features you could use somewhere else.

Modular units, with interchangeable parts is a idea. You only have to sprite individual bits and pieces, then arrange them in what ever way you like.

Or if you want a infection style army, Grey goo.

Or hell, why not go Von Neumann? Best of both worlds then.

Lizard you may want to add a rule to NOT use Photobucket or anything that screws over the image.

Mind = blown.
I'll see how I do.

No problem, I always have ideas every now and then, but never the skill to pull em off. Like my idea for Von Neumann machines on CC with a eat ray but I have no idea how to pull that off.
