I don't mind it that much.
It's the fan base that I hate. :P

A brief tutorial of the angled weapons have been posted. Since it uses the same process as before, there is no need to get into any detail.

Nice. That should encourage a few more people to use angled HUD sprites. Not that there's anything wrong with center-held weapons, but that little touch of realism helps.

I've always preferred angled waepons myself. Good to see a good tutorial up!

The weapon itself looks rather nice, too. It's begging to be used somewhere. ;)

Yeah, I'm watching this thing closely... this tutorial seems awesome enough that I almost believe I could create something halfway decent by following it, even with my craptacular graphic design skills.

the tutorial was great but i have photoshop 6.0 idk if it can do what u just did
my artistic skill is next to 0 and i know almost nothing about photoshop perhaps u know a specific site on how to teach u how to do the magic u just did
i couldnt follow anything in your tutorial because of that fact other then that seems like uv found a great way how to pump out great sprites with little effort

spriting is my biggest trouble right now cuz for my new mod i wanna replace all the normal weapon graphics i also dont wanna take stuff from weapon mods and stuff cuz i wanna be original =] i loved your weapons in de very impressive did u do all those yourself including the demonweapons?
if so right on man

You can do it in Paint.NET just fine. And that's free!

Not to mention the GIMP, also free.

It's a pain in the ass to handle when you've been using MS-Paint for awhile, which Paint.NET is very similar to. Only thing I have against the GIMP.

The GIMP has one of the worst selection command ever seen.
