I tried doing an eldar trooper, it didn't go that good (sorry for using your picture as a measurement between the two)

looks nice, though it should be generally smaller in comparison to space marines

I actually think that Eldar and Space Marines are about the same height, could probably make them slimmer.
eh, i dunno
Damnit , no one is going to give me a feedback on my sprite sheet? :<
well, that ship looks like a huge black mass, i suggest making it grey, then shade it
as for that 'tank', if that is supposed to be shading it's very bad.
infantry looks nice though, but try to give the shooting guns a muzzle flash or smoke
By smoke do you mean it coming out from the minigun or a smoke trail for the plasma shoots?
And I suck at shading :c
the infantry that are shooting, give their guns some muzzle flashes,

I'll try doing the muzzleflash now.

Muzzleflash attempt , I made it a bit big since it's a minigun(irony).

Waiting for another feedback.

Here, let me show you a short tutorial on how to shade ;

At first, you got the bland guy with only one set of colour on himself. It looks kinda bland dont you think?
This is how he looks up close :

Let's do something about it.
[img]http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/5736/guy2z.png[/img]
Notice anything different? Maybe that there is a certain amount of "depth" in view?
It's because I took a darker shade of the colour he is wearing, and drew some of that paint on parts that's not in sight of the sun (imagine there is a sun on his left.)

The guy up close, notice how I put some shadow to make him look "fatter".
Now, let's add some light to him.
[img]http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/7607/guy3.png[/img]
I have added some light where it would be appropiate to be light on him (usually you just do a reflection on where you shadowed him, so if you put shadow on his right side you put some light on his left side.)
This is how it looks up close ;

It's probably confusing, I think i'm going to do a more thorough guide on how to do a simple shadowing on your pixel-armies. :)
Edit ; Matt PL, that's not shading, it's putting a gradient on them.
You shade when you add a lightsource and then highlight the places where the light is the brightest, and shade where there is no light available.
Made some new sprites for my laptop. behold the skull shamans!

Nature grow food and make allies stronger
Shadow deal damage and perform rituals
Water can scout areas, move faster but deal less damage for more survivability

Like this?
I wonder how that tank can fit a driver.
[QUOTE=A Zombie;19233682]I wonder how that tank can fit a driver.[/QUOTE]
It's a droid.
So , did I shade the dropship correctly this time?

It's more like shading but it still looks dodgy.
Look at this sprite-sheet by Shadowcat123 (I hope you don't mind me showing your sprite-sheet to show how it can be done) :
[img]http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/7457/fourthreich.png[/img]
Notice the shadowing, it's nothing big but it gives the sprite depth.
[QUOTE=Ragamuffin.;19216767][img]http://www.cubeupload.com/files/d67000youdecide.png[/img]
Randomly drew a dropship, 2 versions - one with detail and one without, the one without looks better in my opinion but what do you guys think?
(Also, if anyone wants to make the detail better, please feel free to - I'm not too good at that.)[/QUOTE]
Still waiting for some C&C and an answer :smile:

Ok so I am planning to create a Nazi zombie gamemode, though I am having trouble coming up with a good facility interior so I am requesting help. This is the facility empty for now it is free to be edited in the hopes someone who is really good can help make it look great.
Yes that is the old colony map from before but I fixed a few little things about it :buddy:
My first sprite sheet. It's still a WIP - I need to add vehicles and tweak and modify the current sprites as per the criticism I'll receive (hopefully).

The bazooka/RPG looks like a wrench , and the head looks odd.

It seems every time I repost it, either no-one replies or its at the bottom of the page. Thanks dragon for being the only person to give me some advice on it :smile:
Undetailed one is better , and you should make that middle something a thruster what will make it fly.
It is a thruster that will make it fly.

Comparing them , how they look now? (listened to A Zombie and made the tank a bit biger and it's no more a hovertank).
Theres no shading on the flames, and it looks like you used the paintbrush tool for the body of it, for most vehicles it is probably better to use a straight line tool. Also make the thrusters a tad more defined and generally tidy it up.
Hey, haven't been on PW thread for a bit, thought I'll give it a go at starting an army.
