As almost everyone said that they knew it, well, I didn't.
And that makes you more awesome than that!

That will/would really help me out. Thanks ;p

@NoneX: to get gradient overlay in photoshop, right click on the layer thumbnail, and select blending options, and then a new window should come up, and then tick gradient overlay, and give it the settings i tried, or make your own.

@everyone else, thanks for all the positive feed back!

side note:
game maker is very useful for this. just download the lite version, you dont need full version for it, and then in the sprites animation, just click animation, rotate, 360 degrees in 16 frames, and the just paste those onto the sprite sheet. but i would check your weapon is aligned, with the base sprite sheet, because when you go to use it, it may be off center, making the char actual look like he isnt holding it.

Your tutorial is awesome as always. I have got to try that out. Maybe some day you can write a tutorial on how to write good tutorial
[offtopic]@Alectric: Flash can do all the rotating thing as well as drawing/shading/comparing the sprites as well. Why not do the whole thing in Flash?[/offtopic]

not everyone has flash though, and this was made for photoshop/gimp
