Does this mean I have to do more mod reviews?

Yes, yes it does. 

[Sproginator]

Awesome XD

[ValkyriaL]

Well, its there if you need parts or otherwise.

Excuse me but "parts": isn't just a mirrored Condor?

[Erick Doe]

It is basically a mirrored Condor. There's a few bits that are slightly different. But not much to kitbash with.



That's not to say it doesn't look nice. Just not much for me to work with.

[Vinya]

Sooo, mirrored Condor + mounts?

[phyrex]

hey erick, do you think you could send me a PM with a little tutorial on how you kitbash so well ?
you know, how you make pieces have matching color/shape and little tricks like that so that a ship can come together more or less seemlessly.

that'd be really awesome seeing how your TUP ships have incredible quality.

please  ?

Why in PM? Just post it here, i'm sure a lot of people (me included) would love to know the magic behind Erick's sprites.

[Sproginator]

Agreed, tutorials pleaaase

[ValkyriaL]

I think he already has a tutorial posted in the spriters toolbox thread, along with many others.

Right here.

Indeed, but his first tutorial feature hand drawn sprites (i think?). Kitbashing is something quite different. It's pretty difficult to reproduce Starsector art style and the spriting toolbox lack a proper Kitbash guide to show how to do stuffs with the base ships.

[ValkyriaL]

Use your imagination, thats probably the best advice i can give you as a fellow kitbasher, its a whole lot easier than drawing by hand, if a piece doesn't fit together properly, take another piece that looks good on both and smack it over the top and then do the same over and over.

Thats how you manage to take this.

and turn it into this.

Eric might have another approach, i'm sure he will be kind to share the secret behind his sprites with us

[Thule]

I so love this ship. Don't get me wrong but i would love if the antedeluvian would lppk like this. Great kitbash, really great.

That is a guide on how to add depth to your hand drawn sprites.

I suppose I could do a kitbashing guide, though it may take some time before I get around to it.

Thanks for all the compliments though! It's real motivational!

oh god erick, for people like me who cant sprite for [meowmeowmeow], a guide that hints at how you achieve such good result at kitbashing would be a godsent
