New PDA?

[Par]

Hi,

I saw the new PDA sprite Nullbear had made, and wanted to see if I could improve it. I'm better at spriting objects and turf, and am pretty bad at stuff like mobs(like human sprites). So I came up with this. It's also 48x48, so it would work in-game.

This is a fully loaded PDA. It has the antenna extended, the pen inside, and both the ID and Cartridge installed.






I also made different versions of it. A regular, empty PDA; one with a pen only; one with only an ID; a cartridge; the antenna; and one with only the plug. These are all 48x48.




What do you think? I could start working on screens for them too, like is presented in the PDA sticky post.

So, I did make some screens. Here they are:

I think they look pretty good on the PDA. Just paste them over.

I'm still planning on making it a bit smaller, And more PDA less tablet. But I like what you've done with it!

The detail on the side is nice, (the ridges) and the pen looks way better than mine <_<

Yeah same for me, Organics are always harder than structures. :$

Smaller, and more PDA-ish? Here you go:




I made versions for pen, ID, plug, etc, like before. Here's the fully loaded version:



Also, screens! I made some nice screens that fit it:

Its still pretty bulky and non-modern looking. (The borders are too thick, thats about it for the most part.)
I'm feeling preferential towards a more square-ish theme, with narrow borders, and off-black screens.
The PDA size i'm going for, is about the width of an ID card + pen + antenna, A cartridge is a little less than the width. And the length of the pda should be somewhat longer than an ID card.
Id cards will be shorter than what you're used to, closer to irl credit card proportions. Screen detail will not need to be added, yet.

I forgot to add the green screen I made. I edited my post with it.
As for the screens themselves, I know they won't end up in-game like that, but I made them while having the forum icons in mind. They are more recent than the ones in use now.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll work on the materials now, but I will definitely use your info to make the next revision, if needed.
