Some Custom Sprites

[Mega_Virus]

Adding shines is not pillow shading Mega_Virus.

Sparkle shine is not pillow shading if thats how your lookng at it, but more like a glossy shine, like for instance not a shine that is on one side but more like in the middle
so taking my polished rock for example, when you take a polsihed rock and put it under the light it forms a centered light/shine so the main reason why I compared it to polsihed shine is because thats what it looks like cause the light is not taking any side completely and sticks more to the center if you look closely to my sprite edit here that I claim pillow shaded the bright light doesn't touch any side completely.
Pillow shading is done generally on top of objects, and in this circumstance but you need to have a proper shading first then adding a brighter color in the center making the sprite look glossy by using a pillow shade technique.
Explain what you believe pillow shading is then just don't add someone elses idea on it
I would like too know exacty what it is if its not the way I'm looking at it by your own perspective.
