Final workdown and sprite (probably needs a little pixel-art love later).

Spoiler

Is that what I think it is?

It is isn't it?

BEBOP!!

I have always wanted my very own Swordfish II in a game.  But none of the games I've seen one modded in have done it any justice, largely because it's so special in terms of weapons / effects.  I think SS can do it, with a little help from some coder-fu

OK, I think this is final, after cleanup.  Old / New:

xenoargh, will you add AA to outlines later or is it intentional that some lines are blocky? Always skipped this part in my own sprites, but now actually see that maybe it will be good thing if I learn how to do it, seeing how little blocky outline distracts from viewing your great sprite.

Y'know, I showed the final build to my favorite little person this morning, and they actually liked the pre-pixel-art version better at first, largely because of the issues with stepping. 

It's really weird; usually, I'm a firm believer in getting rid aliasing in general, and my main issues with the pre-final were that the colors just weren't all that great and too much detail got lost. 

But with this one, the stepping on the wings is so obvious and pronounced that for that final wip7, I re-combined the pre-final with wip6, largely to re-establish the aliasing behind the wings.

It's still not perfect; I presume there is some sort of value / aliasing trick I should be doing here to make it less obvious to the viewer.  I may actually post this one up on that pixel-art forum we found and see if the pros can explain why it's going wrong, as I'm a little stumped (and the sprite's not so big that a demo would take long).

[Gotcha!]

I like the left one better as well. Looks really nice, nice job.

[dmaiski]

now you just need to animate the engine and the gun

Update of one of my frigates.

[Bjørn_in_the_Sector]

ooh, that one's nice, Kazi! I think that the two rear antennae are a bit out of place, though. They could do with a little brightening up or slimming, like the front pair.
