I made some graphics for a weapon I made using Project X. It is the Holy Nuclear Grenade (or just the Nuclear Grenade, if you like). It took me two days of hard work to make. I am now releasing these for public use. The graphics include the animation of the worm selecting the weapon (straight, on a downward slope and on an upward slope), the animation of the worm aiming the weapon (straight, on a downward slope and on an upward slope), the weapon itself, and the icon. The SVG is also included. Please feel free to use them for your own weapons, improve the graphics, or whatever you want, but please also give me credit.

Good effort, but you lose points for not keeping a fixed light source

I was basing that on the appearance of the weapons in the stock game. Also, I couldn't figure out how to prevent Inkscape from rotating the gradient along with the object. If anyone knows, please tell me.

Hm, I thought the in-game weapons were different. You may have some points back.

Hate to say it, but it doesn't exactly fit the environment.

Needs to be a little darker, and with dark outline (try different colors, but avoid yellow and black).

Take this as constructive criticism, please.

Why avoid yellow and black? It's supposed to be based on the appearance of the nuclear symbol everywhere else in the game. Also, the weapon it's based on (the Holy Hand Grenade) doesn't have an outline.

I remade the HHG in vectors some while ago, this is just a quick render with the nuclear icon on it.

Yeah raffies looks much better.
Sorry but Fusions HHG looks like a plus on which someone threw a completely different looking logo he made a year ago :S

Btw it's freaky simple to avoid Inkscape to not rotate gradients. Just have a look at the third button in this group in the toolbar:

It very much depends on how it looks in-game though. You'd need an actual screenshot comparison to tell which is best.
