Raeihpon has a severe case of 7 months ago Jin flaming syndrome. The syringe, Nurse Typhoon. Extra long needle.

I'm sorry, but I had to say that. Or else I'd say something related to it to my family members or one of my friends on Monday and get hurt.

Instead of making basically the same weapon with a few random edits, why not make an entirely new weapon/concept and make some entirely new GFX?

The first attached image is good as concept, but needs to way smaller. The pistoles and plasma sabre seem to be good, but you need to post them again in another format, best would be png. Graal supports jp2 files but most browsers don't display them.
Those 'concepts' have no structure. They're just big blobs with gradient fills and some weird PSP/Photoshop filters/effects thrown on top... You have to be able to tell what it is for it to be a concept.

As for the pistols (There is no 'E' in pistol, apparently it's spelled with an 'E' on Zone. Please fix this) and the sabres: All he did was take existing graphics and use more PSP/Photoshop filters/effects on them.

Honestly Stefan, (and I mean this as an observation, not an insult) sometimes I wonder about your artistic sense... I wonder if you just lack it, or if you just say these sugary-coated, nice things about stuff like this so that the users won't give up and stop making graphics for you... Because, hey, free content is free content whether it's good or not. I can't say I wouldn't do the something of the same if I were in your position though.

No amount of constructive criticism is going to help these graphics, because really, they just aren't good enough to work from. This user is going to have to learn some basics first, which is why I directed them to the Graphic Design section of the forums. If they're interested in making graphics that's where they should go.

That's all I have to say for now. I hope you take my words to heart as a helpful observation, instead of as a pointless attack.

Constructive critisism can help a person try to get better. If a person tries something, and they get remarks like are on this forums too much, then they give up too soon. It is horrible on a persons self esteem.
A person can give people advice, and tell them how to improve without being insulting, and rude.

Hopefully he can fix the extensions so they can be seen.

I never said it didn't. I said it wouldn't do much good in this particular instance because the graphics are so far gone it's better to start learning from scratch. Which is why I mentioned the Graphics Design section to this user a few times. They have yet to take onto my suggestion.

If this person wants to make graphics they should learn the basics first instead of making a completed work right off the bat and asking 'k, now how do I fix it?'

I'm just reiterating what I said before, but really that's the fact of the matter.

I took the basic idea and made it into a DECENT concept. I can't shade worth crap in photoshop.. but if anyone likes it I'll go back and re-shade later.

Say that again and I'll prescribe you pills 5-6 inches wide that will not be taken orally.
Ako your GFX would make the rest of zone's GFX looks bad lol, too detailed for zone. Try making them look more cartoonish...

Work on the outline before you start trying to shade, or even colour it.

The handle is very long, and thin. The front is all flared out and weird... It's just not very defined. It just looks like a random shape that happens to have a handle sort of thing.

theres no need to say such harsh statements

and colin...just for the record...you do know that theres an edit button right? lol bottom right dude...gettin banned would suck

and i saw someone, not saying his name , being a suck up...like he always is...you dont make sense dude...you should know who you are...and dont post if youre not 200% (yes 200%) sure of my sentence :/

if you want my 2nd opinion on the guns, i say use a better program dude, thats all, maybe with a little editing it could be alright weapon designs

There's no need for a 'better' program to make great graphics. I know of many people who only use MSPaint and make stunning pixel graphics. Some of the best in fact.
