Pixel Joint Forum: There be spaceships?

Message

   Greetings, I haven't really pixel'ed much recently, but I managed to cook up some spaceships today. And I need some critique and comments on these spaceships. What I was looking for was to make that little 3D'ish effect, that fools your eyes to think that the ship is three dimensional by tilting rotating and screwing and stretching! I feel that I did this pretty well but I want to get some critique and maybe some tips :P.

I'm not fully happy with the colors on the first ship but this was before I learned about neutralizing colors.  

Well enough talk for now here are the ships:

Thanks in advance.

	That looks really cool! I don't like how light and smooth the first ship looks, though. Those (lights?) on the side could use some detail... And on ship no. 2 stretch the light/cockpit in the center a little as the ship wobbles.

	Ship number two looks like it's being seen through a fisheye lens.

	what ChrisButton said, but I also think it goes a little too fast

	Update, and what do you mean by fisheye lens? Edited by Alex Pang - 21 August 2011 at 4:37am

	It sort of looks like its growing as it tilts. I think that's what they meant by the fisheye lens. Kinda distorted? The mass seems a little inconsistent when the ship tilts. Maybe the side tilting downward needs to be moved a few pixels? The first one is certainly better. Overall good job :)
