Does the P-90 count as a bullpup?

Sadly he was banned... that thread was disastrous, we lost too many good men, and it was for the only new female user's return, and the fact that we are now allowed to use colored text... besides, I'm going out on a limb and say it'd be a yes.

Anyways, we need to petition for a few unbans, and send this method out to the people!

The other sad thing is that the member never came back anyway.

I believe it does, the magazine is part way behind the trigger and the firing mechanism is too

You can use mspaint, select the object you want to rescale, then press 'ctrl' + 'numpad minus'. (It might work with regular minus, I've never tried it) You can also scale burshes this way, select the brush and press 'ctrl' + 'plus or minus'.

I use Gimp, but just about anything will do. Hell, even just putting the image in OpenOffice or Microsoft Word and resizing it will do the job. The first time I noticed how super-fun resizing can be was in like 6th grade when I was doing a paper on, you guessed it, The Death of Socrates, and I was putting the image in my report (I was using Appleworks. Anyone remember that ♥♥♥♥?) and was totally amazed by how recognizable it was even when made super small.

I just use MSPaint, the discoloration it usually gives doesn't happen because of the palette being applied to the image, so its perfectly fine.

<5 minutes, and not bad. (touched up)

Also, the bolt mechanism is behind the trigger group on a P90, but I'm not sure it's a bullpup...

The best part is how absolutely terrible I am at spriting. I can actually make something semi-decent with this!

This is nice, but not amazing. For large and organic things like terrain and gibs this is useful. However, a lot of these weapons look very blurry, not a good trait on a small, detailed object. I would certainly use this technique on a scene, though. 8)

Actually, if you take 30 or so minutes to touch it up it comes out nicely.

Useful for instances where you're only making a few of it, like a gun or module icon. Not very useful for, say, arms.

Post Re: Don't Bother Spriting
I prefer doing my outline at sprite size in the first place, zoomed in, with a few references. One is scaled down to be ten times the size of my sprite, in another window that isn't zoomed in 10x. The other is scaled down to bite sprite size. The third is a similar vanilla sprite. And then I've also got the palette at the ready.
The 10x is my reference for detail, the sprite size is my reference for shape, the vanilla sprite is my reference for style, and the palette is my source for colors. And then I have some informational pages up for referencing attributes to apply to the mod.
Ah-like so.
I find that making a large outline and scaling it down only slows me down, but I can see how it might make things easier for some.

Actually, if you shade the arms small, upsize them in mspaint about two or three times, rotate them, shrink them and touch them up, they get pretty nice.
