*** Artifacts of the Month ***

Aww, no MIDIs this month :frowning:. I was considering trying one, but neh-vur miyendddd.

To be honest, I’m not sure how the programming (and visual integration) for a grapple beam would work - never really tried anything like it in 2D. The simplest way would probably be to use a bunch of “energy ball” sprites overlapping eachother along the path of the beam, but I’m assuming that lame technique wouldn’t be so well supported xP. Harummm…

hopefully someone can pull off the 4 prong spin
i know i couldnt xD

i will do the phendrana platform

edit*

yeah, i tried 2 different shades
and added an underline below the snow

so yeah, i dunno which one you’ll want to use, if any xD

i had to do this from memory for lack of a screenshot

hate to triple, but im attempting some phazon <_<

edit*

heres the start of the phazon

anyone got any screenshots i can use?

edit*
added a top

It’s pretty phazon, but it doesn’t animate quite so pretty. …it’s not intended to animate, is it? :stuck_out_tongue:

nope
they just stick together for now

and thanks =D

Meh, it’s alright. Although it could use a more defined shape? Right now it sort of looks like a flat, blobby, icicle-shaped thingy.

i noticed that myself xD

not so flat anymore
though still not that great

maybe someone can give it a facelift?

PHAAZOOOOON!!!

stil not done though

CMC, try shading it a little more like this. Yours looks slightly like dark water.

Phazon looks great except the bottom left four look copied and slightly edited.

IMO the Phazon looks a bit dark. Try giving it a lighter palette. Other than that, it’s okay.

Although it would be nice if you added some tiles with little Phazon crystals sticking out (if you know what I’m talking about).

still workin on the crystals ;D

Yay.

Also, I’ve made a meh-ish grapple beam. Palette is bad, and shading looks a bit pillowed, but it’s still WIP.

this is what i did for grapple
which sucks cuz the 2 prong one wont work
BUT

maybe someone cane make it have 4?

(here you can also see my failure trying to make it have 4 ^^;

Now that I temporarily have a copy of Metriod Prime, perhaps I’ll be able to lend a hand again or seventeen.
Maybe, Hopefully

Don’t listen to this clown.
Try to create a texture instead of over-using the colors or the dither.

im better at small sprites anyway xD
once they get any kind of girth to them i fail xDDD

fixed a small problem
and added another corner type

as well as how the phazon tiles are used
(mostly cuz i like how it looks)

I wasn’t saying to do it exactly like that, I was just using it as an example for a rocky-looking thing.

I’ll try making the Grapple spin, though I’m not counting on myself

How do you get GIFs to loop?
