all the changes are going on near the round thing at the centre

[arcibalde]

Oh, i see. But ain't that a bit too small to be seen in game?

[Hyph_K31]

Hm, yeah. I suppose we're just knit picking.

[TheHappyFace]

probaply something only the trained eye see's.
just not me to have no comment on a sprite. 

[ValkyriaL]

You look for anything that doesn't seem right in your eyes view, for example, if he were to put a dark green pix somewhere on that ship and zoom it out to the distance you see it in starfarer, i would notice that pixel instantly and whine about it. an error i spotted early on the Lotus Conglomerate Intrepid battleship, it has a dark brown pixel flying of to the edge in the middle of empty space, probably from the background or something, but it looks so weird.

[TheHappyFace]

indeed its quiet annoying.
i draw as a hobby ,but now i cant casually look at drawn pictures without seeing imperfections.
life was good when i had no skillz...

but yea... back to biznez

Is that a kitbash or a totally new ship?  I can't tell.

[TheHappyFace]

kitbash with use of color changing and rotating.
its looks really nice.
some things that might make it better.

Spoiler

- the color is overall the same only the painting interrupts it. this is not wrong (i do it all the time) but to compensate this you'll need some more contrast to make it look more interresting and less like there is one block of partly transparant color put onto it.
- in adition to this you might wanna increase the contrast between the darker area's at the sides and the lighter once in the middle. easiest to do this is with luminosity (if your program has that).
- some more shading at placs that are lower than the once they border. at this point i think its hard to tell what parts on the ship are higher and which are lower.
- (more of an opinion) the cannon (or whatever it is ) looks really baddass but it also makes the ship look out of balance, like the ship will slowly turn left when its engines are on. maybe add some more parts to the other side to compensate, but you got some extra points for making it look assymetrical.

but i got to say you got a few really good things in there ,so complement son that and...

Spoiler

- bigass cannon! makes it look interresting adnormal which is a good thing.
- assymetry ,its a thing i always like about ships making them look less ordinairy
- the kitbashing is done properly (only adding some shading would make that look better)
- the parts you used are hard to recognise which is always a good thing. it makes them look like actual new ships with there own unique design intead of taken from vanilla.
(no offence to others)

hope this was what your looking for 
good luck with further progress.

[ValkyriaL]

Derp Happyface, you posted before i did >.<

like he said kitbash, using the Valkyrie, Onslaught and Astral and some skillful use of the color palette for what i can see

-i cant seem to figure out what role this ship would play, command ship perhaps?
-you could put some windows on that bridge at the back, easier to see it.
-the ship has more shading on the opposite side of the "cannon" than the other.
-asymmetric... >_> ( i love symmetrical things, ignore this one )

"unrelated"
Can you teach me how to repaint an entire ship? i would be most grateful =D

overall very good ship, wish someone more than Happyface would comment on my ships, XD

[TheHappyFace]

me comment not good enough 

[ValkyriaL]

Awww, i didn't mean it like that, meh love your comments,   but your more or less the only one commenting stuff except for me every now and then and occasionally someone else.

[TheHappyFace]

dont forget the incredible helpfull xenoargh!

but ye we cant force people to comment.

[Thule]

thanks for all the usefull feedback you guys 

@Happyface
shading, contrast and coloring will come later, the brwon is my WIP color, so i can concentrate on the shape.
as a fan of assymetric ships myself i can't and won't do anything to make it more symmetric, quite the opposite.
 


@ValkyriaL, what piece of software do you usually use to make your kitbashs?
I know how to use Photoshop and GIMP and would be happy to help.

[ValkyriaL]

Gimp 2, found it allot easier to use than paint. =D
