Default Re: Suggestion for new Oceana units

no no, I mean you can go to Google, type in dolphin images, and it will give you a list of images on the web. Pretty useful. Then you can just copy the picture into a file, modify it with Paint, Image Forge, or a similar program (I miss my Image Forge), and you'll be all set. All of the prehistoric animals I presented in the Suggestions for New Cave Units thread were done in this way.

It works quite well for many subjects.

A similar trick is to find a picture of a miniature and copy that, then modify the picture like you would any other, in a graphics program.

Thirdly, their are literally thousands of free pixel images (sprites) in the Web, usually pretty high quality. Again, I wouldn't use even the free ones without modifying them somewhat, but they are available.

Understand, though browsing through thousands of pages to find what is needed may be more tiring than making something myself, though it be horrible...

Horrible or not, it'd still be yours, and still be appreciated-although believe me when I say that people *will* critique it, especially if you post it in the thread. That can be very educational/helpful, though. It was for me.
