I was trying to make it look like that weird shin yrock found in olcanoes (Its a lava cave worm) and it didn't work too well.

They're aight. I mean, I've seen worse, but I won't mention any names, Archem.

Nice, but you seem to use a technique called... PILLOW SHADING!!! *Dun dun duuuuun!!!*

Basically, it's where you assume that a light source is inbetween the player and the sprite, thus making it have a sort of... Tubular look to it. Among skilled spriters, it's not very pretty looking.

Other than that, You should... "Speckle" your monsters; put down random pixels of shades to give your monster a more "rough 'round the edges" look to it.

Oh, I know how to do that. Its not exactly difficult. But these are made to match MY charsets. So I shadeed em like I shade charsets.

[Spike21]

[ZeroKirbyX]

All I've got on photobucket that I wanna find.

Basic shaded worm. My char style is FAR different than normal XD

New and different is always good nowadays I personally like how they look. So good job!

Yeah, it was mainly the Jumbo worm that worried me with the Pillow Shading.

Honestly, I think the others could probably maybe work without new shading, but hey, This new style looks just fine. I'd say use it!
