@ArkAngel Swallowtail Bomber?

I'm a great fan of that name. I'll use it, if you don't mind!

Go right ahead

@theSONY

I'm jealous of your spriting skills!
Teach me master!  

Really nice!

Did some not-quite-as-preliminary as initially planned work on redoing the Charybdis' engines; I decided some time back to see if I couldn't modify the sprite so that the vectored thrust units I came up with for the Clade would work on it.

Seems to have worked out surprisingly well given how short a time I put into it.  Further refinement is probably needed.

While it'll require a significant reworking of the Poseidon, the IBB Charybdis variant HELMUT provided, I was planning on doing that regardless.  I might also do this with the Enlil (though it might be too small, really), and the Mimir; I'll almost certainly do it with the old Elysium sprite as I update that into an IBB boss ship.

@MShadowy , oh it looks Bossy Alright

BTW: is it just me or did you add some extra shadows ?

Looks even more badass now. The spikes i the back detail it even more (I suppose those are the engines?)

Not particularly, however I've been doing color correction to SRA ships which has brought out the shadows somewhat due to hue shifting which was not previously present.

Yeah; it'll have a similar engine set up to the Clade with vectoring thrust units on the spikes; at this point the sprite is not quite done and I'll need to make adjustments based on the final Thruster layout, but much of the work seems to be done.

I'm working on the Spearhead at 4x size, drawing it out using lines and such. I'm not sure if this will result in an adequate sprite, though. What spriting process would more experienced spriters suggest for a ship style like this?

Edit: Shown with original sketch for comparison.

Edit2: I have no idea what I am doing. :I

[Umbral Reaver]

While I'm still pondering over spriting methods, here are some quick concepts of some other potential Orion ships:

I would suggest kitbashing them out of mid tech ships, and then painting over the bash.

Very beautiful Umbral reaver, your design.

By any chance, Blender allows you to make a sheen follow lightsources on the ships, so when a bright laser or the sun's light itself shines in the direction of the ship, it would make the side being shone on shine brighter/look cooler?

Cause that would be fantastic if that's possible.

Nevertheless the Umbral looks interesting, like a Artefact/Looter Hybrid Destroyer of some sort.

[Sproginator]

Not sure if I should put this here but the thread said "non-sprite art allowed" so I'll just put it here.



(obviously WIP)

I know this is an old post but PLEASE make this into a 3D model!

[ValkyriaL]

You had a 3D printer didn't you? put it to use!

(Sorry for that)
You think this is a good idea for a ship?   Thank you. (Bad quality of this GIF give not good color, i need fix that)
