Spaceship

[Blink]

It's for a game I'm working on.

I know it's not the best, but it's the first time I've ever done something from scratch like this and done my own shadowing. It's not finished either, but I'd like some feedback.

[Vertigo]

It's okay I guess. There's not really that much to say about it. The layer styles are pretty good if you've never done it before. I would have to say that you should just refine the design of the ship its self and get it cooler looking.

Shadowing is very good. Same with the wings. I'm just not getting the dimension for the middle component. First, I'd make the front tip of the plain more rounded. Right now, it seems to rectangular. Then add some more lighter hues like you did around the window on the front of the plane to the middle and back of it. Not sure what that grey thing is but if it's a wing, I'd fill it in and make it pointier like one of the tail wings on a real plane. Then add a shadow to one of the sides to add some dimension.

From scratch though, so it's a very good job. =D

Thanks for the feedback, the middle gray part is actually the cockpit.

I was following this tutorial, but it's the most useless tutorial I've ever seen. It's also really old so I couldn't find most of the tools.

Why not work on it a bit in Paint? You get a bit more control (in my opinion), and in the long run, it'll be easier to play with as you'll have a lesser stream of colors.

Just what I do for small pixel-art-ish stuff.

Did my base for one in paint in 10 minutes.

Wait...so is it facing up or facing down?

Not too sure about the use of the blue for a spaceship though. The wings are a bit overbeveled me thinks.

@aaron, that's freaking awesome.

[Blink]

Yeah, I decided pixel art is better for this (before reading this actually).

This is what I am using now. I didn't make all of them though (I have a friend working on the game too).












I'll be showing off the game soon too.

I like the fourth one. And I think the first one would look sweet if the nose was pointed and a bit longer. And the second one reminds me of the Naboo starfighter from Star Wars. </dork>

[Schubaltz]

Second reminds me of Star Wars, rest of Galaga.

You should make 'em gundams!

[Blink]

Here's some more. We're going to be making about 100.

Note: If some random person is google searching images and finds these, DON'T TAKE THEM!

I agree with Vertigo in saying that you should make the plane look cooler, unless there are addons that'll do that job.
