Another try in pixel-art. From what it seems, it's a ship with a hidden inside cannon on the nose, a few hardpoints and a few turrets. Also tried to add a few small details, but I have little imagination in these things. And still, it seems like it's going to be the style of this line of ships, straight, mostly one-coloured, and with little insect things, like the beetle-like backplates, claws and etc. Now's the only problem... To find out how to put them in the game...

The sprite is very nice, however the shading seems a bit off. The shading is supposed to be above and a little in front of the ship. Try fixing that, and It will match better with all of the vanilla ships.

Need help getting the ship in the game? PM me and I will tell you everything you need to know, or answer amy questions!

Ive got a couple of other sprites I'd like to show.

Spoiler

The Cadeus attack cruiser. A light and fast cruiser with an assortment of energy weapons and sensor drones. Meant to be a hybrid science vessel/ exploration vessel that's been militarized. I'm not really sure if I like this one, it feels like there's just a lot of in-fill, not a lot of much else.

Spoiler

The Caiman heavy frigate. Kindof like a floating tank. I absolutely stole the design from Raptor: Call of the Shadows (The very first enemy you see). I originally began just adapting it to look like the unit from Raptor, but then I realized that simply wouldn't work. Again, I'm not sure about the overall composition of this unit.

Nice work Arumac.  I do agree that the cruiser seems kinda big and empty though.  I think the design is salvagable but it needs something... especially for it's big left.  Maybe a little breaking up of the smoothness of the silhouette?

Anyway, I'm finished with this bloody tanker.

Hopefully the issues have been put to rest.

I love Raptor. I can definitely recognise what ship you based it on. Good job, it is a very slick sprite.  

[Gotcha!]

@Arumac: I like the cruiser, in my opinion it's quite original. Maybe add one or two turret mounts? Or have an internal laser in that gap.

@MShadowy: The colours, man, the colours. x_x Forest green, bright cyan, gold and pink. That's not a combination many people would come up with I reckon. In my opinion there's a reason. ^_^'
Well, in the end it's about you being happy with it. Afterall, no person's taste is the same.

My only nitpick with that tanker now is the way the uppermost pink stripes cleanly cut across the hull, unlike the lower stripes which stop at the edge of the green nub and the center of the tank. Perhaps if the pink stopped at the edges of the green hull like the other stripes do, and removal of the golden stripes at the top, leaving just the natural blue instead. In other news, I really quite like that golden tank overall. I think it goes quite nicely with the Shadowyard colourings.

I was thinking more like this, personally:


That's just me though

[Arumac]

Honestly, I seriously like the tanker. I'd say however that I'd desaturate the pink stripes a bit. But again that's only my opinion, and it's your ship. Play around with it in game and see what you get out of it. If it doesn't draw your eye in a bad way then keep it.

Although I like Xeno's colors 

[Silver Silence]

That looks so alien in the rusty red colours compared to the Shadowyard ships. Ballistically oriented Shadowyard ships, anyone?

Love it

Also,

SPOILER YOUR IMAGES

[Erick Doe]

Spoiler your huge text and quote while you're at it.  

MShadowy, I liked your ship better when it had orange stripes instead of these pink ones. After reading through the posts I think that is the general consensus. Other than that, it sure is a good looking ship!

[Gotcha!]

As long as people are posting small images and not posting wallpapers, I don't see a problem.
Personally I find it very tedious to open all those spoilers all the time, for every small picture.
So, please don't spoiler small images.
Also, your huge letters are very intrusive.

That said, I like xenoargh's tanker colours a lot more, much easier on the eyes.

[Erick Doe]

Ladies and gentlemen, I present unto you the Stormcrow! A low-tech carrier / capital ship for TuP.

Spoiler

[close]

It is still in its early stages. The colours won't clash as much in its final stage.

9x small ballistic turret
3x medium ballistic turret
2x large ballistic turret
1x medium missile hardpoint
2 flight decks and plenty of hangar space

[Gotcha!]

What clashing colours? I absolutely love it.
