    So I started spriting. Yeah. I kinda suck at it, but hey, it is what it is. Here's a sample of some of my work:

    [​IMG]

    I made those Warhammer 40k weapons for a WIP mod which you can find here: http://community.playstarbound.com/index.php?threads/true-space-marines.72661/page-2#post-1890906\

    That's only some of my work. Okay, maybe it's a good chunk of my work. Fine, it's most of my work, but I'm new, so yeah.

    Nobody asked you D:<

    If you have any suggestions or criticisms, tell me. I love to hear that kinda stuff.
    Also, if you want something made, post it here, I'll see what I can do. I'm better at weapons, but I can try other things.

    Cheers!

    They look really cool, but they could use with a bit of shading. :)

    They sure could. Do you shade? I'd love someone to help me out, or to just tell me how it's done. Though I suppose that would be a form of help :D
    Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, I noticed that too.

    More things added, helping a friend with his Ninja mod.

    The gun is another weapon for the 40k mod, and an attempt to shade. How'd I do?

    I use GaleGraphics free, then I run it through GIMP because Gale has an annoying habit of wrecking transparency. GIMP is actually good for several things, including black and white picture restoration, patterns, and (at least when cameras sucked) fixing lighting and lens flares.

    Honestly, GaleGraphics is awful, but I'm attached to it.

    Sure. Do you have any shading experience? I can't shade in stuff to save my life. Chat me up via conversation and let's collaborate on something.

    Working on an oriental HUD, I came up with this oriental hotbar. Node helped a lot in polishing it off:

    I hope to convert the chat box, chat bubbles, HP bars, inventory screen, and everything in between.

    Must... sleep...

    Haha, Cortex Command. Hey, that's pretty good. Could you do some shading on my weapons? If yes, we can exchange emails or Skypes and I'll send you the files.
