Not much to say.
It looks promosing ,you just need to convert it to a more starfarer like sprite.
just one thing. the fron seems a bit flat.
is it flat or are the side surfaces sloping?

There is no rule saying it has to match game art

i am not saying it has to.
just comparing it to his other works and i would say he is making spirtes for a non-total conversion mod,
therefor a matching art style looks best in my and most people's opinion. (you dont place tf2 characters in a call of duty enviroment)
If he would tell me that he is planning on making a total conversion which i did not presume out of previous conversations and his past sprites,
I would emmediatly withdraw my comment.

Also no comment about any sprite is based on rules.
There are no rules for shading in art.
There are no rules for engine size in art.

Comments about the sprites are based on personal opinions and accepted opinions.

if you are referring to the rules i made at the main page.
the accepted opinions dont have to contain something like imo (example: shading)
only the personal once (example: shapes, style)

I don't know if sketches are... common or even allowed in this thread, but I guess I will find out.

Spoiler

Colors: I thought about a light beige color as the main color with some neon orange or green and some grayish details, engines would be dark gray or black.

Oh my god, someone who actually writes in cursive

Spoiler

I'm assuming this is gonna be some Bio-organic tech ship, The proportions seem a bit off,I think the protrusions could be stretched out a bit more,
The engines are bit wide and slightly out of place. Maybe smaller, but more engines, I do like that they show from under the ships hull though
The cockpit/bridge looks a little cluttered, but could just be because it's in pen/pencil

How big is this ship supposed to be?

And guess I might as well throw something in at the same time,

A heavy frigate,

So many drawings, so little time

[TheHappyFace]

@Muffel
well they ain't common ,since not many people acctually make sketches of there sprites.

Spoiler

Not much to say abou the drawing (looking at the concept not the drawing itself)
I like the biological look of it ,although i am curious how you'll draw him digitally.
bio ships are quiet hard to make sprites.
Like how you are going to draw for example how the ship holds it engines.
you probaply need to use a lot of paintbrush and you might wanna look for an organic texture to lay over it.

@FlashFrozen
he returned, making progress with his unique style!

Spoiler

- you did a good job at the shading which is probaply one of the greatest challanges with this style.
- It seems you used less lights this time which doesnt really improves the sprite.
- just a little thought, what about using multiple colours for the lights? i dont know if it would really improve it but give it a shot.

@Xenoargh
you still got a crazy style 
- only those cargo containers seem a bit flat, no idea how you could fix that.
i know they are supposed to look flat ,but for me they seem more like plates instead of containers.

besides that i really like how colourfull and unique they are!

tron frigate 
definitely cool enough to kill if it can glow with a built-in forward mount energy weapon

but there is lore and I intent to follow it should i decided to make a fleet of ships... which as you have guessed not in a near future due to heavy workload at the moment ...

but right now i got a interesting concept in mind and working 24/7 on it

[maximilianyuen]

now..i guess making a tiny drone is not just a matter of resize....
actual size:

100times larger:

[xenoargh]

Yeah, it's so small that you pretty much have to rebuild it:

[FlashFrozen]

The tron lights are sometimes kinda hard to work with, can't always get good results with them, the smaller the ships the harder it is to use them without washing over the whole ship ( so I had to use less of them)

The styling for the series shading wise is slightly inconsistent, so I had to make parts of the ship iconic, like the larger forward hulls and rear engine sponsons, and well the black/greys and orange, but I can try multiple colors, but I think It sometimes just clashes D:

[xenoargh]

Combined medikohl's Stiletto and Spiker and some original art to build the Brute, a ship built around a gun:

[Hyph_K31]

I like it, but it seems more like a ship built from random parts, as opposed to a ship designed with a single weapon in mind.

I would suggest that the main gun be integrated more fully, and improving the nacelle linkage to reduce the "put together in a hurry" feel.

[medikohl]

Hmm gives me an idea for making a dedicated artillery destroyer for Starfarer Plus.
(possibly a cruiser)
