Remember you admitted your monitor is brighter than normal because you like to view your computer like that. Well you will naturally make things darker so it looks right to you, but it'll be too dark for everybody else. This is why you've been hounded so much in the past about your super dark gfx .And also when you make lighter graphics like the one above, with a lighter screen view, of course its going to be a little bit harder to see the detail. Maybe try to have some sort of definition of an outline more than you are doing currently. I am not saying that you have to use black ok, it can be just a darker shade of colors your using for the rest of it.

See the guns, you have almost some white shading along the top of the barrel, when placed over a white background I bet that is especially hard to see the shape of that weapon with your brighter-than-normal monitor.

Just trying to help ya. Dont have to listen, but I'm pointing that out for you so you can adjust.

But my graphics are not that dark anymore now...

I'm simply explaining to you how your monitor settings have affected your gfx making in the past, and today I was assuming. Now your are trying to make it lighter, and as light as you do, you cant see it very well without the black background?

I dunno donald, I'm not you, but I'm just saying that a sprite image usually doesnt have to depend on whats supposed to be the transparent background area to look okay..

But as you said it does look good without the black back ground.

Donald are you not listening? I'm just trying to give you a bit of advice and you are gonna ignore it because you think that one particular image looks "okay" without the black background?

This isnt a discussion about that one particular image, I'm just trying to tell you something your doing wrong in general.

So what your saying is I need to make my graphics always look good to anyone reguardless of the background? I dunno what your trying to tell me that I am doing wrong in general...

No, wtf. Im just saying, that when you make little sprites, that are meant to be stand-alone. You are happy with their appearance when you are viewing them with a black background. And then you show them to others on the boards etc. But then if you actually used it in-game, how they are meant to be, it will not look the same.

Im trying to tell you that only. You should try to make it look good without depending on the negative area!

Alright I understand what your saying now, I thought it looked fine without the black back ground but I just added it to look better, I wont do that anymore since I should not try to depend on it.
