Their incredibly detailed. I'm impressed.

Cool, but it's all so tiny.

Donald, quit with the black backgrounds. I know you think it makes the images look better. Well, guess what, they do! But thats because the backgrounds is being confused as some sort of outline (in that it keeps it from being confused with whatever its laying over--in that respect--if you get me). Thats what your doing on purpose, I know.

It still looks good without the black backgrounds, you should routinely not depend on the background to make sprites look good, as its meant to be transparent.

I give it a black back ground mostly on the small peices, because they are so small its hard to see the detail I put into it without going in closer. The black back ground makes the detail more visible, not everyone has eyes like me that notice things like when a train thingy on graal 2k1 that is 1 pixel off the tracks.

Also when I make small graphics like this I do not do so over a black back ground, I only put it on a black back ground after I finsh it so that people can see it better.

Yes I know, that is what I was pointing out you need to lose the dependancy on.

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.

I like the sword, alot. The guns are far too short, and chunky, though the detail is quite nice, good work Donny.

[Monkeyboy_McGee]

I can't view those things properly with that black background on, dunno what you're on about donald o_O

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.
