I have to agree with W.A. But if its a shaded rather than pixel look you're going for. I suggest drawing it in a simple program then painting it entirely in PS using real colors rather that the blur..it kind of makes things look muddy...
So I got bored and started making a mess with pixels, as usual, and made this...
It's, as you can see, some sort of robot leg with a cannon attached to it, now, I also have a little information on how it works, yay me! (Nothing is wrong, I made it up, it's going to work how I say it is!, lol.)
So, on the back of the leg, is a piston, attached to the wheel on the body, so when it moves it's leg around, the wheel obviously spins, allowing the piston to move further, allowing the movement to happen.
Between the leg and wheel, is a suspension system, so while it's jumping around (Yes, this only has one leg, not two...), it doesn't have such a hard impact that the cannon above gets damaged. The suspension system can also be used to adjust the cannon, making it higher or lower, however, the height of the cannon also affects movement, as it will limit the movement of the leg.
The cannon is placed inside the main body, where it's all wired up etc, and shoots off a big ass blue lazer, lol. It's also on a triangular pod (As you can see next to the wheel), which it is able to aim 45 degrees up or down, and obviously any degree inbetween.
So yeah, that's what I did out of boredom, am I cool or what...

@kain nobel: just make the flames a bit more flamelike.
@becoolioman: I'm not a fan of stem mixing.
@jbirst: those lines look good. NOW FINISH IT!

Nice material GR, looks like you remade one of your first temps too. The dragon looks hilarious, doesn't look evil but just annoyed.
Pretty cool Jbrist, reminds me of a laser gun on one of those side scroll shooters :fap: (fap.. idk looks like its shooting a gun to me :/)

Okay so I've coloured it using dithering, yeah, I said it, I used dithering, EEK !
Anyways, I'm not too happy about the main body, anyone care to help out with it ? I think it looks odd compared to the rest of it, I'm no good at doing flat surfaces, as you can see, lol;
C&C Pl0x !
Edit: Lol I just noticed, haven't shaded the front end of the cannon, oh well, fuck it.

Well, it was rusty gritty metal, and had 3 colours. But you had the right to say that, due to my lack of explanation. But anyway, I suggest you shade it to be less flat, and a little more 2D. Right now you need a light source, and the correct shading. It's late here so I can't give an edit sorry.

I like the skin color of the behemoth you've just rough-drafted. Also the shading on the horns were damn great!

Now that's slightly better, at least you're now making a real monster in flames :D Keep up the good work!

Showkaizer, I like your remix of my bomb, imo it looks better than the origional. Thank you for doing that, I'll probably work on it a lil' bit more now.
Boon, all of your sprites get 10 stars! I take it you're the artist for the Kailis game? I'd love to see more of your sprites in that project when it is done, because it looks promising! By any chance, would I be able to use the adult template? I've been looking for a certain template, and its not Kaizer, but whatever it is I've failed to find it and yours is the closest I can think of to the one I've been looking for.
Ynlraey, your sprite looks a little messy but overall alot better than I can do (yet). Obviously, the flames need to be worked on but first I would arch the front part of his back more, it'd make it look a tad bit more intimidating. And the tail (part which we can see anyways) looks way too big compared to the rest of the body. I would trim it down just a notch, perhaps slim it down a few pixels and it'll look awesome! Just don't give up on it :thumb:

Kain, GR did the Kailis stuff and the fireball, not Boon or SK O.o
Anyway, my girlfriend drew me this amazing picture the other day so I told her I'd draw her one too. Sadly, I can't draw to save my life so I figured I'd pixel her something :] Later on we were doodling at the kitchen table while talkin to my mom and came up with this cute little broken heart with a bandaid on it and I decided to write YOU BANDAID MY HEART at the top of the paper and drew this cute little thing. She loved it so I decided it'd be what I sprite for her.
Just wanted to get some thoughts on it before I send it to her(and I believe this is my first ever completely scratch piece of pixel art ^_^).
