Requesting a Sprite
« on: April 25, 2017, 08:29:29 AM »

So I really want to make my own ship.

I know what it should be, I know what it stats should be like, everything.

But I'm absolutely terrible when it comes to sprites.


If somebody wants to help me, it would be appreciated. I will add more details if somebody is interested.

Already checked them, but there wasn't the one I needed.

It's a pretty specific image I have in mind ...

Are you looking for a reskin or a full kitbash?

Make a basic drawing, if someone wants to test their skill or dive into ships, you provide the code, they provide the assets, there you go. :)

Can't draw something if you don't explain it.

Well as I said I would provide further info if someone is interested in making a sprite for me :)

Will add this as soon as possible.

I'm afraid that I would need a full kitbash for my idea. Maybe one of the new REDACTED ships could be reskinned (the cruiser/carrier)

You know, you won't get much help if people have no idea what they are getting into. And there are already piles upon piles of cool well defined ideas that just need someone to make them a reality in these threads.

Before someone says 'yes' to something like this, they probably want to know a few things:

1) Are you serious? That is, are you going to finish, polish, and maintain this mod, or would they be throwing away their time on something that will be slapped together?
2) How much work are we talking about? A frigate is easy. A destroyer, a little harder. Cruisers and up I'd insist on payment or some kind of code-for-art trade. Not to mention how many revisions you might want, because there's a decent chunk of back-and-forth involved.

It's a good idea to pick an existing free sprite, make a ship, and let people see that you finish and polish things before making requests.

Yeah I already said I will provide a first version with a place holder sprite soon.

Maybe tomorrow, otherwise on the weekend.
