I think the yellow lights are a huge step in making the sprite come to life, it really helps to give it a sense of scale.

I do wonder if the lights could be 'sharper', but that's probably only really an issue when looking at the sprite in this context, 1:1, straight up, outside the game.

Komondor:


Happier with the form and interest, overall, more so at the front. Need to think about how to develop the rear end, either nudge and nurdle what's already there, or think about some more sweeping changes.

Tried a couple of things with Thule's Orka, to try and resolve its shape and size a little more clearly.  Old / New:

I posted a pic of this ship some time ago, time to take a look with all animated parts attached:

@Tecrys
I am speechless...
though the sound effects made me chuckle  :D

It is amazing what you did, but of course I need to stop drooling and get some constructive criticism!
I am curious to see how it looks while attacking a ship.
My knowledge of coding is little but I can see some possible trouble, would really like to see it.

My personal opinion is that the tentacles and claws should move slower( if possible).
I found it strange seeing such big parts accelerating at such speed.

After a long pause, I've made another ship. Don't know if for better or for worse, but it's different from my other goldy ships. Any critique? And tomatoes? Or a random floating brick?

OK, 5 different versions of the Gaian capship.  Any favorites?

Personally, I like the first, fourth and fifth ones best, but the third one has the size of typical SS battlewagons, whereas the other ones feel like big, bulky Cruisers, so I'm a little torn :)
Oooh, I like these. I could be wrong, but I get a subtle hint of Warhammer 40k's ship flavor from these ships.

@DestinyPlayer:  Keep at it and read some tutorials on drawing; you're getting better :)  I think you might want to adjust your screen's gamma, though; most of the details were hard to see.  I cleaned up the sprite a bit and corrected the gamma to give you some ideas / hints about how to do various things:

Working on setting up the glowy bits for the Mimirs main gun.  Not entirely sure about em though.

Spoiler


I'll also have some mechanical motions, trying to work in a rotating kind of wheel section with the partially closed silvery bits in the middle.  That at least should look pretty good.

The green light part looks okay imo, a little more light could add some emphasis, but not too much. The red parts however are, well undewhelming. Maybe try to light them the other way around: make the whole silver parts glow, but not these spots (the glowing you use is good, but it's doesn't feel like it's spreading through the hull)
Overall, I'd say the effect is good, but a bit shy.

Not yet finished, but i'd like to hear your opinion out, as I've tried to do a few new things with this thing.
NOTE: the wires in the middle were looking better before I mirrored the whole thing because of a few glitches.

From my point of view, things on the wings look slightly detached from the rest of the ship. But otherwise it's nice.

Eight good months without moving forward, it's time that i put back ;) I continue with cruisers and more particularly Magellanic Clouds... Yes I certainly put still too much greeble on it, i going to need that reduce clearly for the next one.

Edit:
And in bonus to finish to burn your eyes, here is Milkyway as well as recolor fighters for the occasion.

PS: I did not find how to correct the problem of flatness of Magellanic Clouds, but I shall work again it maybe to remedy if i find.
