[Fate]

Oh i wasnt mean to post my characters i was keeping it under the slip lmao, its a hk template.

Well theres not much to say for now, though I might suggest you shrink the tank down or it could really crowd the screen. Nice sprites though.

Very nice shape to it. Good perspective, and nice color choices. When you're shading metal make sure to find a good light source and use solid shading (no dither). I rather dislike the shadow--I know this is a WIP but don't forget to reduce the opacity on it ^_^. (Oh, and I'm sure you know. Get ridda those black outlines)

 

[Fate]

Thanks, yeah i know the way of the light i will also get rid of the outlines

What about this turret?
I made a different shading style.

Another update: This is what the camo style is going to be like, ill probably make a snowy one depends what i do on each episode. What do you think, Before you give a bad comment ( this took me friggin 2 hours atleast.

Wow, this seems VERY good! Only...armor's front was so flat?

 

[Halestorm5]

The camo style looks un-believabile and when zoomed in is simply made.

 

[Venetia]

Zoomed in, yes, it is quite a nice pattern.

Only problem is, it's not always zoomed in.

Zoomed out, it sorta looks like it's wrinkled. Most camo on tanks I've seen is really large and fat, like this:

Okay, I know this is a UK tank but it's the best not-huge image I could find quickly.

But I personally sorta like the solid-color tanks better.

I'm sorry. Don't let me get you down. I know how it feels to pour a lot of work into something and get a negative comment. But looking at your sprites, you have considerable talent and shouldn't fret about getting the pattern down pat.

Thanks alot guys durring the week ill be finishing it off then see how it looks
i see your point and its a good one venetia but i worked so hard and i really cant start it again especially when its from scratch.

The cammo pattern is...fine, but it doesn't suit an Armor, a battle tank. It gets repetitive and won't look so camouflaged, so I made 2 cammo versions of a tank.

You can base yourself on this, or use them if your really want (they don't look good enough for me :P)
Oh, I forgot the details of those carpets in the blue cammo :x

Edit: I forgot to say that if you want to use this style of cammo painting you should texture the rest of the painting or something, it looks flat.

Gotta make those German soldiers more angry looking! They're meant to be evil/bad, remember? (Well at least that's what the player's meant to think.)

Since most of the posters in this thread don't exactly know what a Tiger tank is, here.

There needs to be more variation in color on the tank as well, look at picture for reference.
