Riku 123q	So this is an attempt at me making a sun. C & C is cool. Be as crucial as you can with the Critsism I am working on dithering now.

Ahh I know what it is, However when I was making the sun I wasn't really thinking. Pillow shading makes the icon LOOSE DETAIL,correct?

Saeba.Ryo	Does it matter? As it�s a sun he�s trying to make. O.o?? Anyway, i would not actually use a circle/oval as a rim. Blur it and do also add more rays, with more and less intensity. That�s how i would do it ^^

Mohfar1	Personally me, I think dither wouldn�t do much good. Dithering is abused by beginners and ends making things worse. I would do some AA on the edges and you should definitely work on the line art for the whole thing. Also lower the contrast on some of the colors.

Well in this case, "pillow shading" IMO, is not a bad idea. It's not too wrong to portray the sun's brightest light coming from the center.The problem here however, is the way he is AA'ing. I believe it's called pixel banding, but i'm not too sure. You are "outlining" instead of anti-aliasing.

You' Also might want to re-consider rendering light beams as lines. Think of light as an "aura" or "glow" of some sort. As apposed to sticks of color.

Here is an Example of what i mean:

Riku 123q	Okay So I've AA'ed instead of outlining, But I'm having serious trouble with the rays.
