Well, as you may or may not know, Anaglyph is making a new original game. One of our talented artists made a bunch of tank designs, and I decided to sprite one.
However, it turns out that we needed a top down tank instead of a side view, so this one was canned and I sprited a top down version.

As you can see, it has rust, lots of bumps, lots of scratches, and lots of pwnage. The real light color you see, the brightest one in the color scheme, is made to look like it was the original color, which it was until years of being used have rusted most of it away.
Alg wanted a used universe look, BTW. That's the main reason behind the grittyness.
