Here is the tutorial.
Be warned, it's huge. And I haven't even begun to tell you most of what there is to tell.
Doom Guns are hard to make, so if your first attempts suck, don't be dissapointed; it took me awhile to make them as good as I do, and I still have tons of room for improvement.

Um itsame's tut won't load is the link broken?

That, or it's deleted.

can someone make a tut on cloaks or arms?
EDIT: my tutorial

Okay, this is not how to pick a palette, and FAR from proper shading technique.



I made this for a different forum. Lines could use to be more consistent and so on.


And NOOOOWWWW, time for my amaaaaaaaaazing list of custom sprite tutorials!

Oh geez, maybe you should just pick out some useful ones. It's too much. But we appreciate the help.

agreed.

p.s. Shounic your sig says Soinc not Sonic.

???????

No

it's true look at ur sig!

Oh, that's ZI's fault. but i don't mind.

ok. just wanted to make sure you knew

(Using Beneton) is it possible to post multiple pictures in one slide?

what do you mean background? you make the sprites with the background. use photoshop or gimp. stupid.

ou know Shounic, just because someone doesn't know something you do, doesn't mean you have to call them an idiot. So, stfu. I mean, can you put multiple images on one slide in Beneton?

Actually, i have the right to. Because in my opinion, you're stupid but in your own defense, you think i'm not right. You're too self centered to admit it. And i do, admit i am a complete a******. That is in fact, a fact.

Yes you can, but it would be easier on photoshop or easy gif animator and you should make the frames on paint, not on beneton.
