I like that Eagle rework; call it the Haast Eagle (look that up).

I think I'll stay with just Haast, although I plan on putting (XL) in its suffix if the naming goes array.

the shape reminds me of templars alot. so here:

I think I may have pushed this too far.

much better without those odd looking fins. though the middle medium mount looks out of place

Dammit @xenoargh, I had that mentally reserved. XD

And now you know what to do when that sprite is available for the Spiral dump.

Or an IBB.

Hi! I'm still very new to the sprite stuff I used Paint.Net to make these but I would like to show my current creations because I feel proud of them and would like some critique for what needs to be improved.

Jackal Heavy Fighter

Any sprite, art or asset that is thrown into the Spiral Arms (and its Sequel) can be used, kitbashed or recycled, usually for being free stuff for modders to remake compared to Spriters' Jugdement where the post is used only to criticize someone's work. Most of them are usually a lost cause (minus Helmut's stuff and some other veteran modders), though it's always polite to ask permission first.

Unless the owner wants the throwaway back or have them removed from their posts, though that rarely happens.


Though I think he means, when there's a custom sprite is made in there, it's likely to be (or a part) of the bosses that appear in the Ship/Weapon Pack's Interstellar Bounty Board. Which has tons of them already, and some also exist in faction mods.

Jackal Heavy Fighter

These look nice especially from someone who started making new assets.

It has that 16-bit style, though not usually set for 24/32-bit in the game's styling. A bit of shading on their wings and some shine in the cockpit may be enough.

Reworked

Frontier Tanker

I did a bit of work on the small fighters like you said and I hope they look better, I also made a new ship afterwards that's a bit larger.

RedManta:  Those are fun little designs!

Here's some critique, in the form of a rework:



Specific critique:

Spoiler

1.  The first thing I noticed about the sprite was that it was lit from the left; Starsector sprites are generally lit from the top, with just a teeny emphasis forward.
2.  The second thing I noticed about the sprite was that it felt pretty flat.  Adding some height with lighter shades really helped a lot.
3.  The outlines were a little too 8-bit; using shades of color, instead of black, really helped soften edges and make the shading feel better.
4.  Adding specific highlights to a few pixels to bring out the shapes brought out the neat design- I like how it's a Space Turtle.
5.  For a few areas where the edges could feel less pixelated, I used an erasor set to 25% to clean them up, zooming out a lot after each pass.
