That is true. I did this here as a test quite a while ago. I just drew the base, did some minor squishing on the east and west views. The zako in DDP are more complex, but the workflow would be similar.

Here is something I made for Fire Lancer (shmup I am working on with @trap15.daifukkat.su and @moftsoft.bsky.social )
The left one is the tank base in an older version, and later I decided to give the ground enemies "perspective" to match the backgrounds better. This was done with just eyeballing.

And here is a sprite sheet for it.

This is the explosion where clearly 3D was used. You can see that it is just a bunch of sphere clumps with some weird texture.

Here are all flying zako rotations (minus the rotors for the helis on the top) I amfairly sure that no 3D was used here, esp not on the top 3, but I reckon also not on the bottom 3. They are fairly wonky in places.

Have not done any digital colouring in a long time.
Felt like doing a quick colour pass, tying a new approach, on this lovely piece by @godivaghoul.bsky.social
Her work is so inspiring.

Just some random doodles I did earlier.

Just some random doodles I did earlier.
I've been looking at the Metal Slug 1-3 A LOT over the years and noticed this at the end of MS3 stage 2.
1) Crop of the bg just before the boss comes in.
2) Crop with a sprite that was overlayed removed.
3) Just that sprite.
4) Generic smoke puff animation the sprite was taken from.

I looked through some files recently and found this. Totally forgot I made this. It's not really current anymore, but maybe someone will find it funny.

Some doodle pages from yesterday night. Quite mixed, but also, just stream of consciousness doodles, p much. Having fun with a more scribbly approach in places.

A bunch of sketchbook doodle pages from the last few days. Feels really good drawing on actual paper again, something I want to do WAY more of. Very out of practise, still feels a bit wonky, but getting back into the groove slowly feels nice.

Another ancient (ca. 2006 I think) digital piece, which I still like. Used a method from a Scott Robertson video. Make some shape sketches with depth using traditional media (markers, inks, whatevs), then scan them and put them into layers. Play with blend modes, find a part you like.

Very old (2009, I think) piece which I still kinda like. Likeness is not great, but the style is fun (tho I rarely do any vector stuff) And the yellow stuff in the back is actual acrylic paint I scanned, which I think works nicely with the graphic approach of the main figure.

Love this. Really nice colours and shapes. But my brain is so fucking pareidolia poisoned that I instantly see this (not a crit at all, just a fun observation)

Applied an nice crt shader (using shaderglass) to one of the older shots I found on hellsite. I think it looks really nice like this actually, with the low resolution fuzz and all.
Just to demostrate what I meant with my earlier reply. Just throwing "scanlines" on a highres image does not work, imo
