I'm worried there'll only be two entries for the contest.
We need more for it to be fair!

UNTIL YEAR END

[Worldmaster27]

A quick thing I just drew, I think it needs more detail and stuff happening, but I wanted to submit something for the contest. So here.

PPE: I just noticed how small this is. I'll try to make a bigger version in the future, but for now I'll just make it look bigger with height/width=x/y.

Can we at least extend the banner until November end? Please?
Recent stuff in my life haven't been nice...productivity is at a very low.

[GiglameshDespair]

Ain't great, but eh. I'm out of time.

Yeah, I'm extending to November end.

[Worldmaster27]

Good, I'll enlarge my submission and add more detail.

[Bloax]

Not really sure how I can shade it, though.

It's to be used in my XCOM fire emblem, so there isn't really a particular lightsource.

now there's a good one

[GiglameshDespair]

Well, that blows mine out the water (or air, as the case may be).

[Bloax]

Well even if it's a top-down sprite then there's no excuse for not including a lightsource from one of the sides.
of course you can also go overboard with chrome while you're at it, as i always do

[GiglameshDespair]

I don't even really know how to start shading, so I don't. It's something I clearly need to practise.

[Shook]

Just do like i do and make spheres and cylinders all the time, they can approximate most forms when combined. :v (if you're SUPER DARING, you can also add in FLAT PLANES AND BOXES)
What this does is help you get your spatial sense all powered up, so you can visualize how even complex things would light up when subjected to light. Honestly, i just wing it for the most part (because screw extensive construction drawings, i'm too impatient for that), but as it is with things that you do a lot, you can even get better at winging things. Even if you're trying to wing wings (animal wings, not machine wings), which i've found are stupidly hard to wing, so you may want to hold off on winging too many wings until you've winged your way to good winging skills (which i haven't yet so wob wob). Makes sense, yah?
