The Robot, shading Practice

The lineart was by Dixet, I just shaded...5 colors used, I doubt that is very impressive considering the size although.




I always like come C/C ;)

You really don't want to dither metal.
Or else it wont look shiny.

The dithering is rather unneeded, otherwise this is a great sprite.

id also add, try not to shade from the center of a space outwards.. we call that pillow shading and really won't do this any justice. looking great otherwise, with you working in 80x80 i'd only dither if absolutely necissery.

I've not got anything interesting to type here..

I didnt mean to pillow shade, but that happens inadvertently sometimes :(
