Yo. I'm looking for some cnc on some sprites I've been working on.

The perspective I'm aiming for is an angle I have trouble quantifying, but something similar... an RPG but with less emphasis on tops. I hope the truck clarifies what I mean. As far as feeling, I want a somewhat realistic feeling (yeah yeah, I know I used a black outline on the sprites of the people - but that's just so they stand out better against any tiles, whenever I get around to that)

Truck (to be animated, eventually)

This is what I'm mostly unsatisfied with. The shroud, tires, and stack(pipe) are specifically what I'm least happy with.

Thematically, I don't want the man in the trenchcoat to "standout". That's why it's mostly lacking in highlights.
As for the other man... he needs work.


Thanks in advance for any insight.
