Pixel Joint Forum: Silver Snake

Message

So on a whim feeling quite Slytheriny, I decided to make a silver snakey sprite!

 -->  
Start --> Current Edit

Here it is on a white background for you guys: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v611/aleiav/Pixel/snakey3.gif
The stupid URL function is being a dick.

It's loosely based on
The Black
Mamba yet silver, a little more thick and, obviously, much shorter.

I'm not sure how I feel about it right now. I like the shape but I'm
feeling a little eeeeh about the color. Any suggestions? I'd really
love a perfect little snakey for my signature. Lar suggested that the
head's a bit too static... any suggestions on how to move it? Maybe
facing more towards the audience?

	I think his head looks static because the neck is almost straight up and down. Look at this pic. See how the neck is curved around? I think if you did that you would be better off. The silver is too grey, I'd like to see some hueshifting, maybe some blues in there.

	Yeah I see what you mean. I'll fix the snake head later but for now I've been messing around with the colors. I did it with green. What do you think? EDIT: Changed the snake head. >> More contrast in the one on the right. EDIT 2: Current version: Edited by Aleiav - 06 March 2008 at 5:16pm

	Your current edit had a lot of changes what I as going to address in this edit, but it may still be useful:

	I think this might be the final update! And the sprite version! Left one's for light backgrounds, right one's for dark. I fixed some stuff based on Skull's crits and some crits I got at another forum. I like it much better now. Edited by Aleiav - 10 March 2008 at 12:43pm
