New sprite, feedback wanted
« on: February 23, 2012, 02:21:34 PM »

I made this pretty much from scratch (looked at some existing sprites for reference, but no copypasting took place), I'd like you to tell me what you think and if it's worth making more.

Edit: Changed to reflect feedback.
Edit #2: Modified probably for the last time. Changed engines and replaced shoddy mounting points with proper ones. Minor tweaks.



Edit #3: Thread obsolete. Closed.

A little too red for me unless you're going for a cartoonish look or the people who pilot the ship constantly paint it bright red. I'd say desaturate the red and possibly the yellow until they have a more metalic look. About 60-30% of the current saturation is about right in my opinion.

Regardless, the detail of the ship is pretty darn fine but the shape I'm not excited for.

It's always good to have more ships, regardless.

Was going to say. It doesn't fit in with the current atmosphere, but it looks amazing. Nice work! Doesn't come across as toony to me. Just bright.

Don't listen to them, I think the colors will make it stand out in a good way especially once it gets hammered on a bit.

I didn't tell him to change it! I just said it is different than the current game art.  :)  It's not as muted. I like it. A lot actually.

I'm loving the paint flaking effect. Have you any experience in making impact craters too ;D?

Looks nice. Would make a good frigate or destroyer.

Yes, looks more metallic now. Still a bit red for my tastes, but it's just me.

I assume it's because he wants you to put craters on the ship. Or he wants you to put impact craters on another person's ship. One of the two.
