Yes. I see which pixels are to be put into a darker shade in order to make stuff look anti-aliased. It's rather simple really... At least to me.kshinji wrote:Hell, does this means youve got AA tool in your eyes?
After that I do, however, try out if a darker or slightly different coloured shadow would look like.
I wish I had more time in my hands.
I tought of it, and created new method in my brain:
I now zoom x8, and then imagine how would be unit looking like, if it was 800x800 not 72x72. Now i need to download other editor, as tweaking colours in paint is awful.
I dunno if its the way yuou do it guys, but i think it might be a nice method.

If you get GIMP then you can open a new window containing the unit which updates with what you do real time, so you'd be able to see what effect your changes had without zooming out.kshinji wrote:I tought of it, and created new method in my brain:

MS-Paint has this too (View->Zoom->Show Thumbnail). It only works when zoomed in, though.Ranger M wrote:If you get GIMP then you can open a new window containing the unit which updates with what you do real time, so you'd be able to see what effect your changes had without zooming out.
Eternal, I'm not going to pretend for a moment that my tweak was anywhere near as good as yours; that's one impressively ripped looking spider.
However, IMO your changes make the head and arms look overbusy compared to the original. Perhaps they could be done somewhere in-between?

I dont have this feeling, the bigger problem for me is that he shines a bit too much. Ill try expermienting with making him more dull.

I made a generic arachnoid, to be used as a base or at least as inspiration for other units. If i do all frames for it, it could be also used in one fo two arachnoid camapings i want to make, as arachnoid commoner.

Yeah ive got that feeling as well... I guss hes sking looks too polished and straight. Anti aliasing can solveit, as well as adding some shading on his skin.
However hitr comes Arachnoid Knifethrower. I dunno if hes going to make it to MP faction, but i had a feeling to do him. He should be smaller, and ill do that later. He is also based on this robotlike genric guy, so he looksweird as well.
BTW, i just noticed the difference between Eternals Warmonger and my generci guy. My arms are very long, and that explains a bit too.
