[QUOTE=40kplayer;23976328]I like to keep weapons under certain size limits. Namely assault rifles and the like should beat the most 4/5 the height of a regular human sprite. Some machine guns and sniper rifles are longer than the average human height, so there is that.[/QUOTE] I make mine very realistically sized. My sniper rifle is a foot bigger than the M82, but I plan on making it and my LMG (second biggest gun in my army) smaller.

[QUOTE=tyanet;23976387]I make mine very realistically sized. My sniper rifle is a foot bigger than the M82, but I plan on making it and my LMG (second biggest gun in my army) smaller.[/QUOTE] My M4 Carbine is 30 inches. That reaches barely up to my hips. I'm 5'9". Most of the time, if it looks like your gun sprite is too big, it is. Most of mine suffer from BGS as well :( [editline]08:02PM[/editline] I mean look. This is a PDW, and it's supposed to be 6 inches [I]shorter[/I] than the M4 Carbine in real life. [IMG]http://filesmelt.com/dl/PDW_pic1.png[/IMG] There really isn't a way to make a realistically sized guns at all in PW, it's just what looks right and isn't hilariously large. If you sprite it any smaller than this, everything becomes strange. Your magazine will look too big, your sprite will become to scrunched up, you won't have any distince outlines, etc. This is about as small as I would sprite a gun, unless it's like a pistol or SMG type with a very distinct outline.
Yeah, you kinda have to go with 40,000 scale weapons and armor or everything looks too small. Big armor, large heads, short and stocky, huge guns, ect. Even in 45 pixel size, it's all just the same. Also. [img]http://img830.imageshack.us/img830/6379/newunits.png[/img]
Oh no, rocket arty spam. :gonk:
[QUOTE=KommradKommisar;23978565]Oh no, rocket arty spam. :gonk:[/QUOTE] Men of War? Or is MoW not the only game with that problem :ohdear: [editline]09:17PM[/editline] [QUOTE=DanRatherman;23978482]Yeah, you kinda have to go with 40,000 scale weapons and armor or everything looks too small. Big armor, large heads, short and stocky, huge guns, ect. [/QUOTE] Yeah, I was thinking that too. Either make your own guns based around the limitations of small scale pixel art, or find guns already themed to that, 40k is a great example of this. Every shape is exaggerated in 40k, which is what you have to do in PW to make things look right.

I need ideas on what to do for my army next
Mind aswell post this here: [IMG]http://ooft.net/upload/214256t.png[/IMG] Had promised Tele to make some vehicles for him, so far I made the tank and the VTOL, boats and a jeep thing coming up, and a VTOL transport thing I guess.
Decided to try spriting again, for now I made only this tank : [IMG]http://filesmelt.com/dl/sprite_tank.PNG[/IMG] (and yes, it is supposed to be grey&black)anything I should improve? [editline]12:18PM[/editline] oh and real men play CoH, not MoW
give it more contrast, there is just a grey blob there now
[IMG]http://ooft.net/upload/13152391.png[/IMG] C&C on my Mining/Tunneling/Digging machine. Still a WIP, I'm going to add more orange and some dirt and stuff to make it look like a proper piece of mining equipment
That looks pretty damn awesome.
Thanks :buddy:

It looks like blocks stuck together with some corners bitten off in most parts...
You talking about Yusk's thing, Elf? You'se crazy. Looks awesome.
How dare you insult the mighty Recon!:hist101:
It's not bad, it's good, yes, I couldn't do anything like it, but it looks quite blocky.
What if its 'sposed to be blocky?
That's funny enough his style on vehicles, look at his rest, most are this design or very similar.
What is he talking about Recon's stuff or Yusk's
Elf was talking about mine, and yes its supposed to be blocky
Worked a little bit more on my soldier. Spriting is hard. [img]http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/223/7/f/__Pixel_Soldier___by_swebonny.png[/img]
[IMG]http://ooft.net/upload/811954s.png[/IMG] Added more manly men posing. I am not liking the non gun running pose though.
-Automerge- I think he is finished.
