Mega Mole To P Balloon by OutCubed

I'm sorry, but at the moment this does not currently meet our quality standards.

This one has potential, but I feel the shading on it isn't quite there yet. Remember that sprites tend to turn around, the Mega Mole being one of them. The way the light is cast on this sprite would make it look like the light source rotates together with the sprite. Take your time to study the look of the original game, you'll see that the shading represents the shape and depth of the item or sprite, not necessarily the light from wherever it may come from.

Some additional notes I do have is to not make your outlines white, especially if you're going for a bright yellow P-Balloon, you're always safe with a black outline color. Also, be careful with what colors you pick. In your graphics editor, the first color you can pick in each row is a transparent color, the P in the balloon is now transparent as a result, making you able to look through the balloon.

Feel free to resubmit this if you've made the necessary improvements!

Removal Reason(s):
  • This is not an inherently good submission for the fact you're reskinning an enemy into a bigger version of a sort-of-powerup, which is incredibly misleading as absolutely no player would ever guess that it can hurt you from the sides and basically act nothing like the smaller version of the P-balloon. If you really want to submit big P-balloon graphics I suggest you make it a reskin for this sprite instead, including the squished frame.
  • This is still very low quality and improves very little from the last submission graphically-wise. The colors and the shape of the "P" don't match the regular P-balloon at all, the white outline doesn't make sense and stands out in a very bad way. Also, you can make the shading better if you use top-left lighting like the small P-balloon, which won't be a problem if you take my suggestion of reskinning that custom sprite I linked, as that one doesn't flip horizontally like the Mega Mole.
  • "A REDONE VERSION SINCE THE LAST ONE WAS TAKEN DOWN" is not an adequate description, and sounds quite unpolite as well.
Also, don't forget to add tags next time and make sure your screenshots don't look blurry.
