First battleship.

This is a even more depressing and sad looking girl than before, i liked the old one more but the new coloring is better,maybe a bit too dark imo.
greetings

Thanks, I was inspired by the new vanilla portraits and decided to give it a try. Here's some new ones too.

Honestly like your old portraits more than your new ones in terms of lineart and content (also agree with Ahne in terms of things being too dark). Coloring is the main area of improvment between 2016 and 2015. Still better than my *** portraits though lol...

You guys are right about it being too dark... dang. Naah, everyone have their own distinctive artstyle ya?
Yours look pretty nice to me since its closer to vanilla than mine which is obviously anime-ish. Anyway, here's the colored version ( cropped ) and more variants.

Civilian Universal Platform for utility stuff.



Mini Freighter



Tanker

My first attempt at a sprite... well, kit-bashing, rather. Something resembling a Tri-Tachyon stealth corvette based on the vanilla Tempest.



Lengthy Exposition:

Spoiler

No real spriting skills or techniques here, other than just a lot of copy/paste/delete actions through marquee selection using old Macromedia Fireworks MX, and then playing around with color levels. I've found that for an amatuer like me, the Blur Tool seems to be the thing to default on when you want to blend uneven colors or just hide the disjointed seams of your 'surgeries'.

In hindsight, I may have gone overboard with the final additions (like the three 'gauss' coils near the bow, and the numerous tacky 'PD turret' rectangles along the lower length).

Wish I knew how to actually draw cool stuff in the style of other works like PBC and Diable Avionics (especially the Versant). Hell, learning to conjure a 1px basic outline would be nice, given that I'm not the best with even pencil mockups.

@obsidian actual
I'd recommend making that engine a bit more distinct, but otherwise it's a really credible first attempt. Good job

[DrakonST]

It is more than ships! It is more than white color!

Oh, those are some nice additions. I feel your ships are edgy, peculiar slots and a lot of nice asthetics. Keep up the good work!

That's pretty nice. I particularly like the blue around her eyes. On the other hand, it kinda feels like her nose is too far to the left side of her face.

cannot unsee

Looks great Ryxsen, again the coloring is really great. As for the nose thing people are complaining about, I think the nose is actually in the right spot, the line for the bridge just needs to be longer.

I'm no artist, but the nose and mouth don't seem to line up, so at least one of them is not in the right spot.

Too so it seems to me. Version 2015 was more better.

[DrakonST]

Very big ship. Very much big.

UPD. Any trifle is fixed.
UPD. Mor fixes.

@DrakonST

Your ships are cool, nice design, they look unique in shape.

keep up the great work!
