• [1v1] Beginner's Luck

Hey guys. I've been a fan of PW for a long time now (since the old custom forum) but I've never really gotten involved. I came up with a unique "army"; I was wondering if anyone would be willing to play a 1v1 match with me so I could get a feel for PW. :shobon: My army: [IMG]http://i43.tinypic.com/2vjx0lg.png[/IMG] [B]BACKSTORY WOOHOO[/B] "Enzo was once a normal kid, but that all changed when his city was attacked by alien marauders. The only survivor, he fled the city on foot as it was vaporized, stumbling into the nearby jungle. After wandering for days, he came upon a mysterious black pyramid rising above the canopy. Near it, he was confronted by a frightening being made of the same black material as the pyramid. This being explained that he was part of a race of shadow creatures, tasked with maintaining the balance between darkness and light. When light becomes too powerful, it's the Shadows' job to spread a little darkness, otherwise the universe becomes unstable. The Shadows took the young Enzo and raised him as their own, teaching him to use their power and transforming him into one of them. Enzo still respects his human side, though, and, unlike most of the Shadows, actually wears clothing (He has a thing for leather jackets). Nowadays, he travels across the galaxy, beating up street thugs and battling armies." So, yeah. It's not really an "Army", per se. The pyramid spawns somewhere, and Enzo (The little dude with big eyes) calls forth pillars and other shapes from the pyramid to build things. He can punch, kick, and create objects to smash opponents. Anyway, anyone feel like playing 1v1 with a beginner? You can pick the map and everything. :smile:
So it's a one man army?
Work on a design for the pillars and pyramid, perhaps? Rather than black squares...
[QUOTE=Rahkshi lord;21593689]So it's a one man army?[/QUOTE] Yup. One man and a building that continually expands and crushes things. [QUOTE="[ApS] Elf"]Work on a design for the pillars and pyramid, perhaps? Rather than black squares...[/QUOTE] Well, its actually based on album covers and viral media from a French electro-music guy (Danger), and the pyramid is always portrayed as being perfectly black and angular.

Yes but that isn't a full fill black is it? I still recommend using this reference picture: [IMG]http://www.georgetown.u47.k12.me.us/student%20work/Egypt%20Web%20Pages/khufu-pyramid.jpg[/IMG]
maybe make it just [I]slightly[/I] shaded. so it has some dimension to it.
[IMG]http://i44.tinypic.com/2eumx5j.png[/IMG] Better?? :smile:
Much better
Worse for absolute laziness.
actually that looks quite good if you imagine the lighter shading as the other side of the pyrimid.
[QUOTE='[ApS] Elf;21594021']Worse for absolute laziness.[/QUOTE] What am I supposed to do? :confused: Make it super multi layered?
[img]http://www.cubeupload.com/files/339400pyramid.png[/img] Shadings for you.
Good ol' Live, always helping out :3:
Im flattered :3:
[QUOTE=Livewire2440;21595354][img]http://www.cubeupload.com/files/339400pyramid.png[/img] Shadings for you.[/QUOTE] Wow, that does look a lot better. Thanks for the example! [editline]07:58PM[/editline] Still a beginner at this pixel stuff
Its very easy, try to experiment with shading, when i was a begineer i never shaded my armies, my first army was pure black with no shading, one unit was composed of two colors, black and red (eyes) i kid you not. And its not an example you can take it, it was only say 10-15 minutes work and even then it could have taken less time. [editline]04:46PM[/editline] I notice your guys face is pure black as well, i would understand a bit better if it was a full army, but one man armies have to look good, so your going to have to shade his face with different shaded of dark grey. [editline]04:48PM[/editline] 'Maybe' ill take you up on the match to, i usually hate playing with new players because there armies arent very good and i constantly have to give pointers and help out, which disrupts the match, But if you improve the army well enough maybe ill play you.

Make your own damn guys please. I don't want you running around with my shit recoloured. My sprites aren't free, so you shouldn't have them in the first place.
No sprites are free unless thy are in the Free armies thread. you'll have to find it, I can't >:(
I would play with you, Nano, if I was more than a watcher.
Nano- I'll One V One you. Just Pick a map.

You should still get their permission first before even touching somebody elses sprites.

Nate. If you bothered to read my post in the civ thread (or army thread i forget), i said that you shouldn't even touch someone elses sprites. And people can recognise their own sprites i'll think you find.
By touching I mean copying, what you did was copy :colbert:
[QUOTE=NateDude;21627968]I didnt touch them, i drew them from scratch while looking at yours. I guess i must have drawn them too similar.[/QUOTE] Oh yeah and I'll totally get credit for copying the theories of physics onto paper.
