[C+C] Robot/Sentry

[lpflicke]

I'm making a sprite for practice and possibly a game but I need critique so that I can make it better.I want it to look more metallic /shiny and the gun looks too 2D . All other critique is appreciated.

Im not digging that design.
Perhaps google other concepts of drones/pods and check out other designs.
Try making something similar to a design u like and do some sketches from a couple of angles to really work out how its shaped in 3d.
Im not saying to copy everything u draw but when starting out its probably better to pickup whatever u can off other designs to speed up ur learning.

Thanks for the reply,Decroded.
I looked at some concepts and realized that my design was quite uninspired so I redesigned it to look more of an alien sort of thing but still a drone I guess. Hopefully this design is more appealing/interesting so please tell me what you think.The gun isn't done as I didn't know what to do with it.

Im still a beginner with pixel art so all other critique is appreciated.
