This is my first ever custom frame smile.gif The "turret" will swivel around and fire a big ol' laser. Tell me what you think smile.gif

PS: Just in case you can't figure it out yourself, its made up of an E-Bay, a seige tank turret and a BC. Plus a little extra blending by me (thank god for the dropper tool smile.gif )

Good job I guess...it looks kind've odd though with the battlecruiser at the end...

if it uses the yamato cannon for its attack, then that would work very good, otherwise I don't see where it has much use tongue.gif

I'm going to make a custom laser for it, and I think it would look even weirder without the bc, so that's what I did. smile.gif

Considering that u r new to graphics work , u had done very well
btw try creat wholly new unit sprite
Actually copy and paste and merging things are couldn't make originality
get skill and technic a while making graphics as like ur first custom
and then try creat original
or create or edit to custom StarCraft Graphic from other graphics of games
that's more good for u

I decided to start off simple wink.gif but my next endeavor will be a little bit more complicated.

AT-AT's or AT-ST's or AT-TE's? I don't really see a resemblance to any of them tongue.gif Looks like a messed up engineering bay to me smile.gif

ADD: Oh, and it's a building, so it won't move tongue.gif

Extract the pictures with WinMPQ, convert them to bitmaps with RetroGRP and copy+paste with paint wink.gif

EDIT: Nevermind.. I didn't read the text tongue.gif

It looks interesting.. the turret looks a bit too big for the building.

Well, I have a sketch of a new turret (3D, yes!) and I'm going to try and learn GMax to make it smile.gif

Yeah it looks alright...better than anything I have yet produced anyways...the turret looks fine to me, but I think the extra leg on the side looks awkward imo, even if it is part of the turret platform.

Well, though this apparently doesn't apply to Killer_Kow, some people like to use original or edited Starcraft sprites -- I've found that the very greatly vast majority of sprites that are made completely from scratch simply look out of place in Starcraft, unless all sprites are replaced.

About the sprite, all I can say is that the siege turret seems oddly 'detatched' from the rest of the building, it could be blended in a little better with the Battlecruiser chunk, the second-from-left leg would do better on the right side, and it seems oddly cut-off, as if you just deleted the entire right side of the Engineering Bay.

right~! use orginal or creat from blank that's just each oppinons
just follow as want

but Ezday... I didnĀ“t mean about just source of picture
my intention was that wholly new creat is more better to practice skill and higher experience than just copy and paste

though maybe this apparently doesn't apply to Killer_Kow

my meanning was not wat creat for units interested.gif

It would be cool to have an E-Bay monster that walks.

Well, people have commented, I've learned, and its gotten slightly off-topic. Therefore...
