I'm a member on the official forum but I honestly don't use my sprites enough to justify not allowing others to. So these guys are all free for anyone to use as they see fit.

So I was thinking of having an Ork army (WH40k) because of their inventive nature they have no real limitations on the freedoms you can take with their equipment and vehicles.

The problem is that it doesn't look very organic (probably due to his legs being perfectly straight), nor does he look like an Ork (especially his head). So I'm going to modify his legs and face a bit to see if I can get a better result.

Hey, it's not that bad, my first attempt was worse, thankfully I didn't use them because I saved them as a JPG by accident.

You got some work ahead of you but you will get there eventually*.
*Time may vary.
I've made a work in progress army, my very first one, which probably looks like shit. I want comments and suggestions for it, but I don't know how to post the sprite sheet, or even if I can. Can I have some help?

I'm no master of this, but I think everyone else just made a bigger image file and copypasted the various sprites onto it, then just upload it to a image host (I use photobucket, but they say it's going to the shitter, but I don't use it much anyways).
Ah yeah that's another problem. I don't know how to turn what I've made into sprites, if that's possible, which I'm pretty sure it is.

Looks a lot better than mine did

Uh, if you made a unit for picture wars, It is a sprite...
Then hurray. Boxes to me, my good man.

Yes, I know it's crappy. It's my first attempt at making an army. Suggestions?
INFO: There are no separate jobs for each guy currently, they just work as one big tribe, doing the job they're assigned or that needs to be done. They're ogres, pale skinned and larger than a normal human. So, there will be less of them than humans most of the time.
my electric army
[b]not for use except the normal units and truck i used a template for them, but atleast recouler them[/b]

any CC or ideas let me know
the shading on the ship next to the mech is pretty retarded
[b]CC:[/b]
There is nothing to give CC on, you made nothing on that sheet but crappy parachutes, a copy of a building, made a shitty attempt to "recolor" turned the sprites you took from someone else blue, which doesn't even have any shading and looks like it took 3 minutes, and i'm not sure about the vehicles other than the truck, but they still really need work if you honestly made them.
[b]Ideas:[/b]
Make your own sprites.
Stop using others, free, given, or stolen.
Recoloring does not make it your own.
If you at least tried I would get off your back, don't say you don't want to try because you suck at it, even if you do we will be able to give you advice on what you actually did.
What about medieval armies. Does anyone else have one? [img]http://www.cubeupload.com/files/5b2e00jaxssprites.png[/img]
Here's my medieval Narvains, although it is an older set. I did make some changes, but I lost them on the old PW Forums.
[img]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/rebelsheet.PNG[/img]
My rebels,i made them without any free army bullshit like that.
Soldier,medic (can revive units) and radioman.
Once base is setted up radioman haves no more radio ;_;
AR2,MP7,HK USP Match and i am gonna work on a SPAS 12.

Do not use,modify..etc.

CC Please.
looks good, too blocky tho
meh,they're supposed to be blocky
So how do my ogres look for a first try? I know they can definitely be better, but meh.
They look pretty good to me.
Running is pretty weird.It looks like the guy has broken his leg.
I know, that's one of my major problems. I can't get the running right.
Honestly running poses aren't exactly needed. I've never made them anyway.
I think running poses add a lot to a match because they're great for big charges and such.
I agree with both of you. They're not needed, but they add excitement. Unfortunately, an ogre with a broken leg isn't exciting. Also, new spear sprite.
[QUOTE=Jax Strife;18847293]Honestly running poses aren't exactly needed. I've never made them anyway.[/QUOTE]
Running poses, aiming poses, stances and other unit animation type sprites are the difference between an OK army and a complete polished one.
My running pose sucks, but it's a start.
Very true, I should at least attempt some running poses.
In other news, my new Battle Mages
[img]http://www.cubeupload.com/files/30e200jwizards.png[/img]
Each of them have a specific element and weapon.
These are still a work in progress. I don't have any buildings, and only a few poses.
I just wanted to throw these out here for some ideas that anyone may have that I can use.
My guys I plan to either just live in the natural undergrounds of the map, or use the abandoned bases of defeated enemies and such, though they'll probably smash all of the advanced technology, as expected.
For special reasons, I had to change the colors of the weapons a bit. Otherwise, nothing new.
Will the ogres be my allies in any war?
Depends on how your guys act and such. I haven't seen your sheet yet.

How about my new helicopters?
Side windows would give it a better field of view.
