Hello Byond Users ^.^



I've recently have been trying to get more involved with Byond (Even though ive played byond since 07 lmfao...) by buying Blue Books from Tom awhile ago and to use Byond for its main sole purpose... CREATING THINGS! Any who I've never iconed anything before but id like to become more involved , any tips on my base icons or just tips and pointers in general would be welcomed , thanks!

Well, what you need to do is play with proportions more with this. It seems like you tried to even out the proportions with the head. Also, you don't have any values(shading) in this. The fleshy bits look greyed. If you have issue with trying to put in values and color at the same time then just do grey scale so you can focus on lightning the figure/object. Also here is a list of my usual links:
