Okay I had some more free time on my hands and made these

I'll probably upload some more later but for now enjoy.

(comments and criticism is requested)

1.) Dont make each time a new thread.

2.) Nice.

MattH · « **Reply #2 on:** August 14, 2009, 04:09:46 pm »

1) I made a new thread because I wanted to separate the halo stuff from the WWII...I don't think that that's a big deal, or even worth noting for that matter.

2) Thanks

1) It's still pixel art and it's still yours. Keep it in the same topic next time

2) Looks cool

3) Stop backseat moderating

Do the beam rifle! I love the look of that alligator gun so much. : 3

First post updated ( beam rifle and human sniper)

Make it into a mod now so people will stop bothering me.

I have a quick question.

What is the purpose of pixel art aside from modding a game or doing sprite stuff?
I mean when Espadon makes an epic painty thing that's pretty cool but these little things aren't very appealing to me.

Eh stuff you do is mainly either funny or with squids, both of which are good (except for mods, which I don't really use anyways).

What I don't get is why so many people spend so long drawing 20x50 guns.

Edit: gah nvm all that I sound like an ass.

-I think you're missing some detail in the shapes, particularly in the pistols (Magnums, if i'm not mistaken), I usually push the weapon size to it's limit (66x19) for the sake of detail, but that's just me

-Sword thingies are too dark around the edges, and I would improvise on the black outline for the blades

numgun · « **Reply #11 on:** August 15, 2009, 06:25:34 am »

Nice beamrifle! That gun is pretty hard to sprite due to its shape and details, but you did a damn fine job.

The energy sword looks bad with the black outline along the blade. Keep the outline on the handle, but change the outline on the blade to white or other or remove it completely. The black outline messes up the idea of the blade being made out of energy than plastic like it looks like now.

Its another form of art. Pixel art is like a drawing or painting when compared to other form of art.

Personally, I make use of the pixel work I make because making it just as an art piece doesnt feel like the work I've done is any good or it feels like its a single use product that loses its appeal right away and becomes useless, obsolete.

Personally, the only real thing I like about Microsoft is the pixel art they used for the wallpapers and icon sets for the early versions of windows, before they went with cheap glowy effects for win xp+. As numgun mentioned, pixel art truly is a real form of "art."

MattH · « **Reply #13 on:** August 15, 2009, 09:10:27 am »

Mmk, a lot of comments to reply to so....

Now Espadon, Why would I do that, after all I'm one of the people that wants to see your mod

Although I will say this, These guns can be used with soldat so I might make a simple weapons mod.

Good points thanks, I'll get to work on some of those.

Thanks. And yeah the beamrifle is hard due to its shape (I had to use gimp to make it, MS paint just doesn't work very good with that kind of stuff)

*EDIT* Modified first post

croat1gamer · « **Reply #14 on:** August 15, 2009, 09:59:22 am »

Am i the only one who likes the bordered energy sword?

Also, can you explain me why always 2 pictures of the same weapon?

MattH · « **Reply #15 on:** August 15, 2009, 10:06:20 am »

I add a shadow to one of the weapons, because it makes the weapon look more 3d'ish.

*EDIT* First post updated

*EDIT* 2nd Update

*EDIT* 3rd Update (Note that the HMG isn't finished)

Shard · « **Reply #16 on:** August 15, 2009, 08:46:36 pm »

I like them, very nice. Now someone compile a mod.

Matt, when you gonna finish my guns?

MattH · « **Reply #17 on:** August 15, 2009, 08:54:48 pm »

Oh! wups, I totally for got that I was making weapons for you

sorry $:-\$

(And yeah I'm making this stuff into a quick mod)

numgun · « **Reply #18 on:** August 16, 2009, 05:46:28 am »

Damn, this stuff looks much better than Espadon's. Keep it up! That carbine is so sexy. : O

EDIT: I just noticed you tweaked the energy blade, now its totally beatiful and looks just like it should.

MattH · « **Reply #19 on:** August 16, 2009, 08:14:02 am »

You think that it looks better then Espadon's halo weapons?

I can't say that I really agree with you

but thanks

I'm gunna post a update in a little while (fuel rod gun).

Just as a quick note, should I extend the stock on the SMG?

TBDM · « **Reply #20 on:** August 16, 2009, 12:43:06 pm »

i'd like to see some mods from you sir... -.-'

MattH · « **Reply #21 on:** August 16, 2009, 12:57:05 pm »

I have made a few mods already...(although none of them are all that great)

you can check them out.

My first mod (in the partial moddifications section) was Soldat Apocalypse (then followed by Soldat Apocalypse II and III)

then Black Death's arsenal

Then my first (and only as of yet) full mod ~Cold~War~Combat~

*EDIT* I added the Fuel Rod gun, but I need some help with it....It just doesn't look right to me.

Lord Frunkamunch · « **Reply #22 on:** August 16, 2009, 04:06:40 pm »

It's not neon enough.

MattH · « **Reply #23 on:** August 16, 2009, 07:06:32 pm »

*Updated first post*

Hows that?

croat1gamer · « **Reply #24 on:** August 17, 2009, 02:23:34 am »

I think it would be better with an purple colored fuel rod gun.

Hair|Trigger · « **Reply #25 on:** August 17, 2009, 03:45:14 am »

GJ fixing the sword thingies, glad you took my advice

bxn · « **Reply #26 on:** August 17, 2009, 05:28:35 am »

weapons look awesome. just finished halo3 on xbox360 with my bro. co-op is so fun!

numgun · « **Reply #27 on:** August 17, 2009, 02:45:25 pm »

The FRC looks like its made out of bright yellow plastic. Try making it darker and more metallic. Alternatively try the halo1 purple color instead of yellow.
Details look very good though.

Btw cant decide about the smg's stock. It looks good now, but originally it would be a bit longer. Try 2 pixels more length for the stock and see if it looks good. If not, keep the current.

MattH · « **Reply #28 on:** August 19, 2009, 06:48:33 pm »

Okay purple fuel rod gun and theres a SMG with the stock extended, so tell me what you think...

Updated to keep this thread from falling into the vast forgotten pages of the interwebs.

(In other words, I finished the minigun and I want your opinion)

Lord Frunkamunch · « **Reply #29 on:** August 20, 2009, 04:55:49 pm »

It is awesome and I wish to have babies with it. If you don't finish this I'm going to murder you. Fatally.

MattH · « **Reply #30 on:** August 20, 2009, 05:27:18 pm »

Boy with that kind of motivation how can I resist?

Okay Okay....I'll post what I have in the Mod section and then (hopefully) we can have some discussion on the topic....
