I've been playing alot of megadrive aka genesis shmups lately and I wanted to make a decent sprite. I have failed. I really liked the designs in the game Truxton, really fat chunky shapes.

| The ship really lacks form.. The lighting is extremely monotonous, and there's nothing really interesting to look at. The trick to making a good sprite is making it unique! Try to give it something original (and add another dark shade for the red!). |

#1 looks like a typical n00b sprite, #2 looks like a pixel artist did it... so of course #2 is better

Or AA the corners? This is in space right? Will the black borders show up anyway? ------------- http://www.ongamedev.com/ - OnGameDev |

The travel of the shots is probably wrong... Just adding some bullets.
