:D I've hopefully fixed everything that you said there vincent! I double checked to make sure that everything was in line like it should be, and I found the option to put gradients at an angle so I have managed to do this; I hope you like it but if there are any more problems just tell me about them!
Wow! I'm impressed by the shading you did on that base. -Make the bright top line slighter, just as your previous version.
Approved Please send me privately the .AI so I can upload it onto the database. Congratulations! ^^ You can move onto the next 2 frames of it.
:3 Thanks ! I've sent it to you now. UPDATE: I'm not sure what the black squares are supposed to be. Any ideas?

O.k thabks guys! I've done a version with screws. Sorry if they aren't so good. I'll make a version with bolts if thats what people prefer. EDIT: placed shadows under the screws
Hodgy you continue to amaze with the work you're putting out. Well done. On the spring, the screws are coming along nicely but I would be interested to see a version with bolts as well.
Right I've Made a Version with Hex Bolts I'm Not too happy with it to be honest. I Just couldn't get the shading right. @Flare: I prefer the Screws aswell. I just want to see what everyone elce thinks before I carry on using the screws.
I loved the ones at the bottom of the last page. These seem too basic the ones before were perfect in my opinion.

This. Remeber that in the original frame, screws / bolts appear really dark shaded! (I could also say they seem just pitch black hollows!) My only suggestion is that screws just needs to be sharper. P.s. love the chaotic turning of screws, it seems like Eggman had to turn them manually! :D
I have attempted to make the screws sharper, and I have also made everything the correct size when compared to the original sprite.
WOW! You are great at illustrator art! You can easily seen the benefits of gradients in your peice of work! I am amazed that being colour blind in red isn't affecting any of your work at all! Just amazing! How do you bend gradients around in a circle pattern like that? I am a newbie at photoshop and I am trying to learn quick because this is a great oppotunity. I am getting illustrator soon so that'll be good.
