Basically the artist does not take into account where his light source is coming from, and therefore makes the centered areas of the graphic very light and gradually makes it darker the closer to the edge it gets. This creates an effect which makes it look like it is made out of pillows and is therefore referred to pillow shading.

It's a basic nooby GFXer thing, just a bad habit that has to be broke.

eh this took my less than a minuet.

Because it's worth less than a minute of my attention span. >_<

Why did you put a "Holiday Tree with a chain" on that weapon? I don't think pine trees are common for weapon materials. You just edited your plasma-axe thinggy and copy-pasted your old stuff all over it.

yeah, its just my plasma axe with an xmas tree for a blade XD

i was bored, i just wanted to call it an aXeMAS

MY EYES; THEY ARE BLEEDING!caps

Darken the grey areas slightly.

Up the contrast? or just overall darker grey?

Both. :)

Yes, but place the focus moreso on the contrast.

2 slightly altered versions of the candy rifle.

:o

whats with those big candy stripes???

I see 1 problem with that... I think it's too big. It's bigger than the player. Altough INSANE GFX :/

Whats candy have to do with Christmas?
Someone answer that question without using the words "Candy cane"

Well that's kind of hard, seeing as the 'Candy Cane' is the answer. It's like asking someone "Hey, you have to tell me the answer to 2+2. However, you can't use the word 'Four' in your response".

Red and white are traditional christmas colors paired together, as are red and green, green and white, etc..

Total win, but I don't like the coarse "blaster rays." Either refine them, or trash it.

I put the waves in there assuming that they could be faded out somewhat like this. Kind of like the blaster rays

Looks good.

I think 2+2 is:
3+1
5-1
6-2

Etc etc..

Has asked, I didn't used the word ''FOUR''.

His point is that it's not practical.

I was trying to make a point, I'm surprised you didn't notice.

Candy Canes are related to Christmas. Those are already found in Zone. I'm hinting to the graphic artists to be more creative, as there is quite a bit to do with Christmas which isn't found in Zone.

So... who is judging this contest?

Hanukkah is where it's at!
Get some menorahs in there that shoot flaming candle!

As was I. I'm surprised you didn't notice, even with Mino pointing it out.

People can be "original" all they want, it's just that people like the candy themed weapons.

that looks awesome.

charge shot poisons*
i didnt get to do anything for a few days (festival/parade/party time here)
any changes ill try to do 2moro ill be at beach for the rest of the day ^^

I like the big green blob. Looks really deadly and...blobby.

However, you are still using pillow shading for the weapon itself.

Zone players should hunt deer with their knives and rip off the heads then wear them and ram into other players.

How's that for originality?

Hey. How did I do on my pickle? Things for improvement?

i dont see how a pickle is related to Christmas... :/
