There has been a few comments recently in the Spriters Judgement Thread, as well as more recently a cool schematic diagram from Valk (in Blackrock thread, I think), all around the function of the sprites as drawn.
Ravendarke is arguing, essentially, that greebles for greebles sake should be avoided.
I have to say, I tend to agree, although I'm probably a bit guilty of falling foul of this from time to time.
So, I ask you to explain, as best as you can, what the greebles within your sprites actually do :)
I'll kick off with a simple one - the Langoustine:

Hopefully if people find it fun to contribute, it will keep some of us entertained by explaining your thought processes, and may even encourage the indiscriminate greeblers from greebling for greeblings sake (not that I am saying this is necessarily a bad thing - the intention is that this topic should be fun and entertaining :)).
A couple of details not shown in the above sketch:
- A high level walkway / cover by the side of the medium front-facing energy mount.
- Underside armour plating (visible near the reactor)

if someone shows me how to add arrows, like you did on yours mendonca, i would make a new one.
In Paint.net, when drawing a line there is an option to change the 'end-of-line' detail - so you can add arrow heads etc.
(see spoilered)

Erick, in fairness, I don't think we are even READY to know about the Zorg greebling. :)
