Pretty good, though it could use just a bit more greebling - in particular, a few points of light (maybe centered around the bridge?) could really bring it alive.

However... did you really mean for it to look like a mechanized mosquito?

Also, on weapons and systems: if you don't know how to code something, it might be worth asking; there are several of us around who could probably help.

A remake of my first ship sprite, the Pendekar Frigate of UAF.

[HELMUT]

A distinct improvement indeed.



Why the white background though?

It'd be uploaded first to receive feedbacks before I went to sleep last night.

Hello all,

I'm a long time lurker. I am finally working on making my own faction. still working on fleshing it out but I wanted to run some sprites by you wonderful people.

Keep in mind I am not incredibly artistic (like some of you) but here is my first kitbashed creation.

Please let me know what you think.

I signed up just to let you know that i think that sprite is fantastic, and I avidly await more.

[ORMtnMan]

Wow!

Thank you for the kind words!

I will try to do some more sprites after work tomorrow.

I am still iffy on the coloring scheme on this... I intend to add colored stripes to break it up a bit (the faction color will be a light blue). Also, the reddish internal section directly in front of the bridge I am not too enthusiastic about but I am lacking inspiration for what to do there at the moment...

Again, thank you! It means a lot to get praise on my first sprite.

[Okim]

Love the shape a lot. Reminds me of some ship sets for Master of Orion 2 (purple IFRC).

If you match the vanilla yellowish colour scheme for your ship it may quite well blend into the mid-era ship range. But i suppose it`s a faction-specific colour, yes?

Adding another colour to some parts of the ship may make the sprite a bit more striking.

still pumping up the elite frigate badassness


minor light and shadow adjustments+ glow maps and blinkers
I'm currently thinking how to add a bridge on that without ruining the silhouette. Probably just front of the right turret, with a hard-point on the other side to compensate... Or maybe no bridge  

ORMtnMan :
   This sprite, I like it! Recognizable silhouette, good kitbash technique, it's a nice ship. My only complaint other than the lack of colors is that you have some areas around the turrets that are of solid white color. This kinda flatten the sprite. I'd also add more shadowing on the mechanical parts that appear to be under the armor, and cleanup some almost transparent pixels left on the front. But that's really me being nitpicky.
   Impressive first shot, I'm waiting to see more.

I've gone back to the drawing board recently, to find a new colour that fits, and thus have come up with a new version of the frigate I posted last time. *DISCLAIMER* it is in no way finished. I've found someone that's helping me with the sprites, and he's actually capable of shading so I'm leaving that part to him. I just want feedback on the colour scheme.

and here's a recoloured 90mm small gun turret in the same colours, and a twin version (which might end up being a small mount as well)

All of my previous statements stand, here is some more info though:

d:\temp\bluebjorn.png
Image size: 112 x 165 px / 18,480 px
Solid pixels 7,474 px
Partial transparent: 0 px
Solid Area + psuedo transparent area is 7,474.00 px
Pixels that are shades of grey: 2,590 / 34.65%
Pure black: 1,008 / 13.49%
Pure white: 106 / 1.42%
Unique colors: 681
Unique shades of grey: 150
Unique colors (inc. grey): 831
Unique colors/area avg: 0.09111587

Get those shades of grey under 15% and aim for 5%. Find and kill any pure black or pure white pixels. Add geometry or curve to the flat areas, or break them up into sections like on the lasher.

[Bjørn_in_the_Sector]

@Ryxsen whoa that looks REALLY cool. It's got great presence.

@Debido - thanks again, but I really just wanted to know if you liked the shade of blue!

[Debido]

@Bjorn
Given the limited gamut shown because of the flat surface and completely even lighting it's difficult to say. Initially I would say it's servicable as a base colour, but you've got bigger problems.

I've been lurking watching you post these, and they are really improving. I'm excited to see these on the field
