Welp, here goes. First time trying a sprite for the game. This is the Sidewinder MkI, from the Elite series, specifically from Elite Dangerous. If it's passable, I might start work on an Elite Dangerous-themed mod.

In the style of the Sojourner: the Innogen Destroyer (or possibly frigate if I decide to downscale it)

I need to cut down on the darker borders and possibly add more detail. Not sure on weaponry either. Right now there's a small missile and universal slot and one medium universal.

A small ship after a long time of not drawing ships. I think that I'm slightly more skilled now, but still. Still a WIP.


How do you think, what to place in the lamp slots on the front? A pair of hidden energy turrets? A pair of hardpoints?

Also, not sure about the light spots on the engine-balls. Any suggestions about them?

Also, is there any way to make it so that decorative weapons change their sprite/glow when the ship is moving? Or to make it so that something leaves a light trail behind itself?

I am trying to make a frigate, in the same sort of style as my phase fighter a page or so back. my intention at some point is to make it look like it has been completely jury-rigged and is barely functional. [ that's why the engines don't match the general high tech theme ] I have hit the brick wall on designing this for today though, and need to take a break. any advice? this was drawn entirely with the pencil tool x.x

EDIT: attempt to add armor plates:

That ships looks very alien! i actually kinda like the green lights around the ship, i think it would look weird without them.

Cute Much details died out in the process, but still nice.
...What are you going to do with weapons?


A portrait work.
EDIT: Applied scratches.

Its adorable!

I wonder how the fighters are going to look like XD
Probably a few pixels.

2 x 3 px. Terminator Drone.
More deadly on AI hands now since the player can't see it properly.

You would have to zoom in further to see ships properly. Although zooming out would allow you to see a larger scale war

[HELMUT]

Felt like doing more Pathers variants. I think i nailed the Dominator but i'm not sure about the Onslaught. Tried three different paintjobs.



Also i kinda feel using "big" ships doesn't works with the usual Luddic Path lore and tactics. Or at least that was my impression in the current SS version. I'm not sure.

[Clockwork Owl]

A ship that big can bear their logo somewhere... Might worth try it?

[HELMUT]

Unfortunately the Luddic path logo doesn't really works here. Either it' too big and can't properly fit on the plates, either it's too small and looks like a weird stop sign. Also it's black, which is a really hard color to use on sprites.
