Awesome! Thanks heaps for this tutorial Tarti. I've always been terrible at adding decent looking paint jobs to my sprites so this should help out a lot!

Putting some old kitbashes I did here if anyone wanted to use them, all they need is some colour and likely some touch ups here and there. I made them for a faction mod ages ago but never continued with it and am working on other things now anyway.

No problem, I use a Wacom Intuos Pro, which was also recommended to me. The Small and Medium sizes are the most popular I think and either one would be great for creating sprites, depends on how much drawing space you feel comfortable with and the size of your monitor.

Hey mate, those are some cool ship designs! I had a little time to paint the top one for you, which I made using Gimp. You may have had something else in mind in regards to the colour and style but feel free to use it if you like 
I made it something in-between a frigate and destroyer so I guess a light destroyer would fit best. Like I said I used Gimp (An awesome program especially since its free) and a graphics tablet which makes painting much easier, so maybe its something you could consider if you haven't got one. Basically I used a 3 pixel brush to paint out the general shape using roughly 4 different colours/shades then I used a 1 pixel brush to detail it, clean it up and add greeble. Also I recommend looking at the vanilla sprites as well to get ideas.
Let me know if you want any other advise although I'm only just learning too. Cheers

I have a mod in my mods folder that i'm pretty sure matches the description you gave. It's called "Ethereal Descendants: Fate of the Altari" made by Etherealblade. Tried searching the forums for it but yeah nothing turns up.

Thanks heaps Helmut I really appreciate the comments, this forum has a very high standard so I try my best to kitbash some sprites that people like
Yeah thats quite noticeable now that I look at it. It's weird though cause I thought I followed the same process haha. Anyway I’ll make the two destroyers a bit darker to fit with the cruiser better.
Foxer, yeah that’s actually a nice idea. I haven’t really thought about how these ships will function but I’ll possibly consider something like that.
Cheers Meso!

Thanks
I have no plans for it though, probably won't be for argamede union.I see that you did thereSpoiler[close]
Have any plans for that one Shellster?
Umm yeah I may have taken inspiration from that one haha

@ Erick: Awesome kitbash of the Apogee! Makes sense to call it the Perigee too haha nice
@ SniZupGun: That overhauled sprite looks very nice, the small details are a massive improvement and makes it look more vanilla if thats what you were aiming for. Good Job!

« on: April 11, 2014, 07:52:30 PM »Nice little ship, Shellster. I like the shape of its 'nacelles'. Not entirely sure on the placement of its forward mount though. It looks a little squeezed in. Perhaps some detail / greeble between the bridge and the mount would make it look better (imo).
Thanks Erick, yeah I tend to make the mounts a bit cramped in my sprites haha, will try and fix that.
Some new sprites I've been working on, trying to make something that appears very clean i guess you could say haha. Had to use a black background cause it looks much better that way.

I was trying to make the white structure appear recessed into the hull but my shading didn't really pull it off haha. The stipe was just to go over the top, I'll probably have to rethink that section.

@theSONY: Those abomination ships you're working on are so awesome! Can't wait to see a release
Was messing around with some tri-tachyon ships for a change and came up with this. It's basically an Aurora 2.0, which i call the Eos.

« on: April 05, 2014, 06:59:22 PM »@Shellster - on a similar vein, might consider the medium turret mount / bridge interface - maybe a larger rear end to allow it to hold a medium mount more comfortably?
Great sprite though, really like it.
Thanks Mendonca
, I've adjusted the back like you said and I don't think it looks as cramped now:Spoiler
[close]
Eh, darken a bit the color and i could steal it for my orange ships
Well I won't be using it so your free to take it and adjust it if you like otherwise I'll probably just put it in the Spiral Arms thread.
I really like those new ships you've made though HELMUT, especially the Invictus!
About the larger ship, I don't know if this looks better or worse, I'm no expert haha, but I adjusted the levels in the centre to make it look a bit more 3D?
