Majors Art

[Telaron]

A slightly smokier version.

[Frogger5]

The smoke is far too solid for what should be a small curly wisp.

[SFault]

This is a cannon, so much more smoke, but then again the principle is much clearer.

I thought the title of this thread was Major's Art?

The muzzle flash is still off. The colors should get brighter in the center, and the shape of the flash should be widest at the barrel and taper to a point as it get further away from the barrel.

A cannon? Sorry, but a cannon can not be held, and certainty not fired, by one person. Too much kickback,and once it's fired it had to be cleaned, rammed, and reloaded. 17th century warships had almost 10 people operating a single cannon. OK so I'm getting a bit carried away there, but there's a fun fact for you.

Ok back on track. Cannon smoke, comes out transparent as a light wispy grey. Quite unlike what's been done here.

The major point here is that the smoke should detach as a puff/cloud and ascend. Now it seems to be sucked back into the gun.

Sorry for being away for so long, the laptop just went into the shop for a while, and my computer is really f****d so I can't do anything on it. Whoa, he looks really good although I preffered the "Decaying Worm" version of the smoke. For some reason my GIMP version changes the colours around and I can't use any variation of red, orange or yellow, they get changed into a really weird vomit brown colour. I wasn't thinking of making a mod although if you want these you can have them.

[someone]

He kinda looks out into space when the smoke is moving. It looks a bit odd, maybe he should look at the smoke?

[Frogger5]

On that note, the head warps about completely when it moves...

Hi major.

The tanks look really great(even realistic) but as you said.

@ Frogger5: That is just how metal slug does them.

@ Artisticdude: I don't know how to do that. How do you do it?

EDIT: And a soldier.
EDIT2: And his attack anim.

Remember that they can't be used unless their really your own drawings. But, like i said there great

Talon: You could use more shading and could make it look more Wesnothian(meaning the art style) just add a bit more detail. Other then that it looks great.

O contraire. Everything on the forums is required to be GPL, which means anyone can use it for anything. Only copyrighted images from outside websites are not allowed in UMC.

It's Telaron, actually. And he's just fixing up the smoke and muzzle flash, the actual sprite and animation are all Major's, so any crit on the sprite other than the smoke and muzzle flash should be directed to him, not Telaron.

[dipseydoodle]

I see. Bye the way I just realized that I misspelled his username a few posts ago.

(I'm not really sure of the bold part, so the comment is on the last phrase.)
Basically this is right, but you should actually read the GPL before publishing addons: For instance, you have to credit the authors of all stuff you use.

[Major]

How's this for the muzzel flash?

And although I'm using metal slug sprites for inspiration I'm not actually using them.

[King_Elendil]

I think it's better quality, but it might be just a hair too big.
