a full military conversion of the Venture with a large front mount and 2 additional small turrets for PD

[Ryxsen1421]

I like it a lot, it feels very militaristic.

Hmm... too dark. Sure, the colour fits the stealthy military style, but in game wise, it'll just be another thing player wouldn't recognise till the scorch it/blew it up.

After a year without actually doing it, I just put myself back to kit-bashing for your biggest misfortune and for fun, so to make a little pile of garbage sprites and as it is always good to have outside opinions. Well I'm here. On the other hand, although I tried several things from the flight decks of the biggest, I cannot put anything to make them less empty without it looks ridiculous or totally incoherent... Or simply That I like it. Same problem with the paint job to find a color that is not already used by already existing factions. (Vanilla or Modded)

Mmm... these look oddly appealing.

You got some parts somewhat right, though most are a bit odd and sort of just there for no reasons (or looks like they'll snap off at any time).

The flight decks of the carriers are a bit off, mostly because the lighting style is different and the placement.

thinking the same thing

Much better.

Thank you for your suggestions and comments. For the size by cons, it is true, but it is a little late. (I should have realized it when I did.) I'm not going to make a creppy resize, or I would have to add stuff and rework it to make it bigger. I'll think about it.

It's better ?

@Makina: Definitely much improved in both cases!

Thanks. Link is fixed now.

@Inotna:  Big improvement!

@PCCL:  I feel like this sprite has lost some contrast levels and the colors feel a bit muddy- you might try backing out of the sprite, converting to grayscales and then working in color as Soft Light / Overlay to restore some saturation.  I really like the concept of a Venture that's actually combat-worthy

@Makina:  the second versions are a major improvement, largely because of the pixel-art work to tighten up contrast levels and bring out details, but you may want to rework the lighting on the carrier bay to make it a bit brighter and consider a different color; it's too close to the hull paint color and it looks a bit like a poorly-shaded area of the ship.  Here's a quick rework to demonstrate:

I don't know, man. But the ships looks like the ones from Junk Pirates/PACK mod

[AxleMC131]

... the ships looks like the ones from Junk Pirates/PACK mod

Hey, you're not wrong! To me they look like a cross between Junk Pirates ships and those from Tore Up Plenty. They've got the same almost organic look to them that lots of JP ships have, but combined with a haphazard, almost random mechanical construction that's reminiscent of the TUP kitbashes.

(This isn't a bad thing btw: just a note on the style.)

[AxleMC131]

Just sticking this here for the hell of it: The old and new sprites for the Manta Fast Destroyer from Disassemble Reassemble. Not so much looking for immediate criticism as relative thoughts, and as a reference.

I don't know about you, but to me it feels a lot cleaner, smoother and sleeker - fitting for its "fast destroyer" role. Also matches the midline doctrine a fair bit better.

Special thanks to MesoTronik for advice on the upgrade!
