Some Custom Sprites

[Mega_Virus]

Okay.. so you pillow shaded it giving it a glossy look.

Here is mine yours and McCloud's:


I used a proper shading technique that I explained previously to give it a smooth look. Your sprite is quite dark thats why you cant make up the hands that needs a dark outline.
McClouds sprite looks kidish and not serious due to his contrast, I agree that you don't need more shades of colours cause you obviously have enough in certian area's but not all area's.

Here's my pillow shading on the same sprite I worked on, which I admit looks pretty good actualy I don't know why I didn't think of it.
