What do you think?

[Atariangamer]

ehh...I still wanna say a slight darker...

[The Slimeinator]

It seems like an appropriate newish shade of Chex Quest metal.

[Atariangamer]

newish, yes...but i'm so used to the cycloptis...rather dark metal. the Biped had light, but it looks kinda weird on it to me...

[Super Searcher]

I still prefer the grayish one.



That one.

I like that one too.

What if you just used a slime texture for the vents?

You did a great job with the slime in the middle, btw

[matthias720]

It looks cool.  I'll give it a try later.

[ChexCommander]

@75: I thought he DID use it in some later sprites...or maybe it just looked greenish...

And yeah, I prefer that one Slime posted.

[Atariangamer]

The gray is rather bland, to me. I liked the contrasts before.

And yeah, I prefer that one Slime posted.

Change your mind?

[Replica]

Well, I do agree with you CC. It does look bland. What I need to do next is add shading to the bottoms and tops (Like the last one I mad) but this time I'll do it by hand, so it's not so sloppy. (Aka by the pencil tool.)

[Strife]

Looks great so far! ^_^ I especially like your work on the slime texture.

I notice that the vents form a plus shape like this: +
Perhaps you could twist them a little and make the vents swirly? I think it would add to the style and make them look more authentic.

Also, if you're aiming to make the pods look spherical, try taking a look at a graphic of an actual sphere. You'll notice how there's often a white "dot" on the sphere where the light source hits, and from that dot, the color eventually gets darker as it spreads out. For a good example, take a look at my avatar and notice the shine on my bubble helmet. ^_^

Hey, thanks Strife! The advice really worked! Though, the pod doesn't look too good close up, it looks great far away though!

Here's one I did before reading your suggestions.

and heres the one I did now. (I didn't add the vents yet.)

[TheMasterOfBattle]

That second one looks much better.

[Replica]

Thanks.

Here, I added a vent, and put it on the flemoid.

[TheMasterOfBattle]

NICE! 

[75]

NICE! 

QFT!

I'd put the white spot in the center, though
