Arg, I didn't put the canisters in the wrong place, they're just right. It's basic shape is a box. Maybe you would understand if I drew it isometrically to clarify. Here.

Hmm... No, no I didn't mirror it like you do. I mirrored the basic shape of the blue part, yes, but I re-shaded it to account for the light-source. As for the few red pixels on the top of that one frame, that's more comparable to a typo, unintentional, and un-noticed. Your errors however are more comparable to a grammar, puncuation or spelling errors... They're intentional, you just don't know any better.

Maybe you could spend your time looking at the examples for what they're meant to be. Examples. I don't expect these to be used for anything but. That's why they're square, and plain. Had I chose to use this "gun" image for something, I would go back and fix those five or so red pixels... Just like you should go back and fix your lighting errors.

If Zone is just flipping and rotating their graphics without editing for perspective or lighting, they're doing it wrong... And it's not going to change unless people start doing something about it, and maybe that should start with you. Hell, some of the graphics already on Zone should probably be re-looked at to make sure they're shaded correctly. If Zone wants to follow along with any sort of logic at all, it should start by following the assumption that "Light moves in straight lines." You just don't **** with physics like that.

Fixing the graphics so they're drawn and shaded correctly will give Zone a more professional feel. If you just follow along like a sheep and keep making graphics the wrong way, just because everyone else does, nothing is ever going to improve.

As for being an better artist than me...

A) You definatly could be, but you don't know that for sure. You're welcome to think that though, it does no harm to me.

B) That's a pretty sorry goal to strive for... "When I grow up I want to be a better artist than some random guy I met on the forums of an MMORPG!"

Stop being so bloody arrogant. It's not going to get you anywhere in life. Stop and realize that you have alot to learn, as do most people. Just because someone doesn't flash graphics around all over the place doesn't mean they can't teach you a helpful thing or two about art...

Andrew: Which image are you talking about? What doesn't make sense?
