I made the grizzly tank for my army, this time it was actually based on a picture so I got the colors and form right:

(Yeah, I know I made it a bit 'chubby')
(And I know the black outline was bad idea)
Different kind of shading:

I really like the camo and shading, but I'm not sure which way is forward and it doesn't look quite right to me with the end with the thing sticking out.
Well, it's a hovering tank, and the back thing is supposed to be there, and the forward is pretty obviously where the eye and nose tip are, with the two cannons aimed forward above it.
Yo guys, only just discovered this place existed, so here's my attempt to make something cool:

C&C if you like.
Here is a couple of guys I made. This is just the beginnings of them and I've only really sprited one unit and one weapon.
Yes, they are generic pew pew futuristic guys.

Those sprites of dead units are useless. FYI
Not exactly useless. Just used rarely. Most units do die from regular shots, it's just how they fall/ where they got shot that matters on the sprite.
[editline]01:17AM[/editline]
But yes, generally useless.

Meh, I made them because I was on a roll.
Second, for the blown up tank, make it seem more crushed, and not scribble things over in an attempt to make it look destroyed. (Looks like it says JTL on the tank) Maybe take a jagged piece or two out, and put fire where it was. I also don't see an explosion collision affect for your rocket, unless it's supposed to end in that little puff of smoke.
EDIT: That was at Oman
Alright, I finished my tanks attacks, at least mostly, I may add a different mortar type.
[img]http://i49.tinypic.com/34ytyjd.png[/img]
1)The basic rocket
2)The splinter 'mortar' device that shoots bullets that are more for harassment than actually killing enemies.
3)The cannon.. well yeah, it's a cannon. Nothing more to be said here.

It's a little confusing, I have no idea what's going on in there.

You're probably confused on the blue 'mortar' thing.
It doesn't really have much of a visible affect when you launch it out the mortar cannon (which is the top one), so I only really made the mortar piece itself.
The blue things are 'bullets'
EDIT:
Let me clarify further, when you launch the splinter, it's in the shield form, none of the blue is showing.
When it lands safely, it opens up, and a flurry of 'bullets' are tossed around, which are very painful although not deadly.

Well..
they are generic
futuristic
good angles for firing
guns go pewpew
Furret, your tank isn't very good :/
It's obvious you put in effort. But it's just a mess. Not much of it looks like it makes any sense at all. It's simply confusing. I think you should redo it with a bit more planning and contrast of the parts so we can actually tell whats what, it looks like a mess of details and patterns on the shape of some sort of boat.

I attempted to clean it up and fix the proportions, and exaggerate things such as the wings
[IMG]http://i48.tinypic.com/sfjodu.png[/IMG]
You must realize, though, that this side view of the ship is [i]very[/i] confusing, but if I were to give you the front view (which wouldn't work in pixel wars, since this is a 2d thing and all that) it would suddenly make more sense, as well as the back view.
By the way, you don't need to tell me about issues with the splinter color, I'll have it changed if it's ever hard to see.
No poses except holding those two guns, not even standing straight. Plan on continueing.

I like the guns. The lines on the troops look very strange to me.
The lines kinda make it look like they're wrapped in bandages or straps or something.
Well it's supposed to be lines in their armor, so it's not flat grey, but it didn't work. I have an idea of what I can do but I'm tired now.
Started work on some infantry units
[IMG]http://i49.tinypic.com/2jdonb5.png[/IMG]
first weapon: sniper
second weapon: trench gun
third weapon: PPSH (The straight forward version is a pain to do, and still isn't that nice looking)

make the lines a small bit darker, and add shading on each side, lighter color of the armor on one side, dark on the other, for 1 pixel following the lines and outlining them

Furret those sprites look good but on some of them theres that brown bit sticking out (i think its the butt of the gun?) it looks awkward so you might want to tweak it a bit.
Alright. Update of my army.
I also changed the officer, old one is still on the sprite sheet.
[img]http://www.roflsaurus.com/users/Nenghis/pixelwar2.png[/img]
The vehicle is a tank/dropshit thingy. Haven't labeled the guns yet :downs:
Its hard to see with that black background but lets see. i guess if anything you should try to make some ground vehicles, but the variety in the amount of guys you have is really great
Added some more payloads for the Drill Drone to deploy.
[img]http://www.cubeupload.com/files/308400molemen.png[/img]
I'm having trouble thinking of another unit... I might just have the army be composed mostly of Drones and let them use payloads to do everything I need.

Comms is for communicating with other armies, by the way.
Outlines :|
very observant
