Helmut, I'm not actually using Photoshop, I'm using an MS paint emulator (I know, lame ), so I'm not sure if I can do that kind of thing.

Every time you draw on paint, god kill a kitten.

On a more serious note, Photoshop is infinitely better than paint at doing the job. By searching a bit you can find it for "free" on internet. If not you can still use Gimp as a free alternative and it's pretty much as complete. And yeah, i'm not even sure if paint can remove backgrounds stuffs, definitely not good for spriting.

MShadowy, the shape looks very interesting. And yes, it feel more "junked" than other SHI ships.

Paint.Net and GIMP are both free and are both waaaay better tools than Paint

The latest iteration of the now called Grimnebulin-class Cruiser

And here a little gif

Tried to make Fabre animation, but can't think of the way to animate whole body, including engines, so this is the only variant I came up with.

Just a quick experiment with Bjorn's first sprite.

update: modified a bit shadows, but can't tell if it improved anything at all.

that tengu looks awsome! i've seen a lot of your work here so far and i just have to say that i'm really impressed. i hope we will see a faction soon

Holy crap, Magician, them are some epic guns! If you want more of that type, I can give you some basic templates. I've been thinking about a kind of railgun that looks a bit like this :

and a larger cannon that looks a bit like this:

except on the reverse trapezoidal base that I use.

Sickkkk. What faction is this for?

The new Karel Doorman carrier with a new Fokker fightercraft just taking off:

Lights and radar are animated.

Shall I put some stationary Fokker fightercraft on the deck of the Karel Doorman?

whoa. I gotta say, this looks REALLY nice. As much a fan as I am of greebling, long flat surfaces really do it for me.

Well, the flat surfaces is what I was going for. 

Loosely based it on a WW2 era aircraft carrier. Obviously the shapes are a fair bit different. But you get the idea. The bridge, placement of PD guns and the runway are all inspired by naval carriers.

@cycerin
Not part of a faction per se, it has the colorscheme of this little hegemony subfaction i made some time ago "Republic of Erk"

There is absolutely nothing wrong with using MS Paint for spriting, I used it for all the spriting that I've done, and only used GIMP for transparency.
the only problem with the images he posted was that he saved them as jpg.

I use MS paint for a lot (if not most) of the ground work.

With this simple template I made in MS Paint...

...I created this fleet of ships...

...which I really should use for a faction one of these days.
