PJAMA's Computer Vectors

[PJAMA]

I'm spriting a bunch of computers for use as a means of communication in a game or just static objects.

Here's My first one:


It's a Sun Microsystems SPARC Workstation

More to come soon.

It doesnt look like theres any light source, and I am almost certain you used something like photoshop to do the shading which made a lot more colors than a sprite should have.

[Hoeloe]

That's not a sprite. That's a vector without any AA.

[PJAMA]

That's not a sprite. That's a vector without any AA.

But does it still look good?

[Vipershark]

no, considering lighting doesn't actually work that way

I'm assuming you "shaded" these using gradients in flash?

[DioShiba]

oh god I can't even describe this easily.

did you even look at the forum name at all? does "Sprite Projects" have any meaning towards you?
you said these were vectors, not sprites, vectors are not sprites. this should belong in creativity.

and hell, I don't even know if you even know how shading works at all! I mean you've got two different lights going on two different parts that don't really make any sense, I can't even fucking tell if you know what the hell you were doing.

christ, you could have at least looked up tutorials on shading if any thing.

[Vipershark]

at a quick glance there are at least four light sources there and each part is only using one

[Cobalt Blue]

we told you not to do this, but you seem to not understand why.

the reason is simple bro: its shit.

[Vipershark]

...i'm not going to go as far as metaru and declare the entire thing to be bad because the lineart is decent (even though it's just basically boxes) and it's definitely readable

but as far as the shading, multiple light sources, and it being a vector, yes, it is shit
