I need sum opinions. The question is:

DOES IT LOOK NICE?



This insignia is off of Zero from Megaman X (Zero from Megaman X was a huge inspiration for my username). I found his insignia on a picture of him and it was really tiny, so I had to do a little touching up and made the purple darker. How does it look?



EDIT: Hmmmm. The yellow in the star that I added could use a lot of smoothing. I might leave it as is.

It seems too pixelated. Needs to be smoothed out or something.

My best advice: Trace it, and redraw it. You won't make it look good on pure scaling or antialiasing (or heck even HQ2/4x filters) alone

Can you find a bigger picture to take it off of? Right now it looks really pixely.

That's as big as I could find. I'll try doctoring it up a lot more to make it smother.

Insanity, layman's terms, plz.  :D :P
I'll see what I can do.



And why does it get butchered when I save it as TGA and import it to D3?



EDIT: Before and after. I just took a little bit off the top on all edges.

EDIT2: Uhh, I took a little more than off the top on the bottom right.  :o EDIT3: Fixed

Update! Now it is my own drawing of Zero.

How does my drawing look? I did it on the DSi and it was my first time drawing anime style.

EDIT: This is it on the DSi Flipnotes page: http://flipnote.hatena.com/502A59C0511CDFB7@DSi/movie/1CDFB7_09C59898365C6_006?in=user

Good... a little too cute for one of the best D3 pilots playing nowadays... deceptive.

Warning to all: Don't judge a book by its cover!  Especially if the book is titled "NUMBERZero"!

You probably won't believe the images you just managed to accidently put into my head

(ok, so it isn't that bad :P)
