If that thing recieves enough support, maybe I'll find the strength to carry it onward.

...or at least release a demo. It does look quite tedious, but you can definitely see where the time went. Those shadows and atmospherics are unreal!

Decay sprites are hard.

Edit: New, whether better or not is arguable though. (arghh)

I think that's better, yeah.

Spoiler:

One of the things I do is grab a mask of the current transparency, hide that, throw some red around the muszzleflash and use a soften (or, less extremely, gaussian blur at 0.5 radius) then put the mask back on. Adds some color variance, and darkening at the edges. If done for a whole set of muzzleflashes, the effect is interesting.

If it looks too soft afterward, you can sharpen it up a bit or use a slight noise/dither filter.

I'd worry about the dithering on the weapon, though...

Not a problem once every frame has it's own 256 colors.

Spoiler:

a blue rpg? it looks good, but, why blue? why not black or grey? or yellow?

[NeuralStunner]

Why not blue?

[Princess Viscra Maelstrom]

blue is classy colour. nuff said.

[FuzzballFox]

...because more wads need less pure grey and brown!

[Blox]

Because AOW2, that's why.

[Phobus]

@Blox: The second version has a clear white-box outline of the area that moves on the RPG. I can even see a thin vertical line appearing on the first one. Definitely fix those before actually using the sprites, as that'll stand out like a sore thumb in game.

[Eriance]

Then it's time for you to start selling pr0nz like I do. The resulting practice will make you draw like me in no time.

To be fair, it could be worse...

[leileilol]

just started the mesh of her, which is considerably less awful than the sketch already

Working on the DE Grenade Launcher; based it off of Quake's design.

Looks nice! I can see the resemblance
