The shading is much better, but the vents still look like a last-minute-tack-on job, like they're not really parts of the actual armor.

QFT!

I'd put the white spot in the center, though  ;)

Um, why? The light hits from the top left.

I'm not sure how to fix the "Tack on job", probably because I cannot see it like you do. Any suggestions?

I've figured out why it looks like that: you're just drawing black lines over the already existing shell, not a whole vent. You need to fill in those lines with something to make them look like real vents.

I don't think it would look as good if the white spot was in the center. It's really difficult to pull off the 3D effect while the light source is right in the middle, at least from my personal experience. ^^;

But WHOOOHOO! That looks so much better, Replica. ^_^ Great job!

Here's another tip: If you look at the official flemoid sprites, you'll notice how they have dark pixels around the edges. This allows them to blend into dark backgrounds more easily and also gives them a more cartoony feel. Perhaps you can take a look at, say, the pixels around the edge of the Super Cycloptis armor and try applying that to your flemmie.

Hey, thanks again Strife! :) It looks a lot better now. :)

It seems like the black line on the top right looks too dark, but looking at the Super Cycloptis' bottem, Chucker didn't blend as much as I thought he did.

O_O; Thats really dark metal...so weird with that light flemoid...any way to balance it out?

But the style seems very nice! I actually like the new vents.

I actually wanted it to have a really dark metal look, but if you don't like it I could spend another hour or two fixing it.

Huh? Where'd my post go? It disappeared into cyberspace. I said the same thing as Manny about the vents. ???

The vents look much better now, but I'd agree with Atarian and darken the flemoid a little.

The Flemoid doesn't need to be darkened, as all of the official Flemoids are the same shade of green, more or less. It's the metal that might need to be focused on, if anything. Look at ye olde Flemoidus Ultimus to see what a dark Flemoid might look like.

I don't see what the problem is. Color is color, nothing should be lightened to fit another, say if I'm wearing black close, should I get a tan? Plus it puts the focus more on the flemoid, other then the pods, which is what I wanted too.

I don't think it really matters, either, but I'm saying that if this is a problem at all, that the armor should be the first thing to be changed, not The Flemoid.

Whatever. It looks great, so let's see it in a mod.  :P

Here's a screen of the attack sprites.



@CC, I don't think it's quite ready to be in a mod yet.
