Mageziya's Irrelevant Sprites
#56
Yeah, size is a little off. Actually, just going to ask people, I made several size variants, so which looks best?

In order: Fat, Fat-Tall, Skinny-Tall, and Original dimensions, along with references for size.

After this I'll work on the handle at the top. It's been giving me the most trouble, in that it's difficult to make it both recognizable, in perspective, and stand out from the non-handle parts of the sprite. I tried makingĀ  it match the color of the canister, just darker, and it didn't stand out at all. It also currently doesn't stand out as much as I'd like it to. It also doesn't help that the original sprite is a little vague, so I'm not even 100% sure its supposed to be a handle.

The other and final major problem of the sprite is the weird rumple-zone in the center. There's not enough room to convey the meeting of two differently sized cylinders, so it just looks odd and messy.

Edit: Well, in my impatience I went along with the tank in the original dimensions. I also made a plasma canister, as making modified versions of the sprite helps point out flaws, which I did find.

I fixed up the weird crumple zone to look less rough and dirty.

I also figured out what the hell is going on with the handle. Basically, someone tried translating a propane tank into pixel art and did a bad job of it, leading to the unique appearance of canisters in SS13.

I tried correcting the handle to match a propane tank, but the gas meter causes it to look...
