I've made this piece as a tribute to the indiegame Faster Than Light which is really love. it had a top down view, like every ship in the game. The hull is made by me ( Top Image) and below is the ship with the rooms (Faster Than Light Rooms, taken from the game). Every room represents a function ( shields, weapons etc.) The Image has 300+ colors because of the rooms taken from the game and the weapons (Burst Lasers MK. II), the game devs appreantly didnt look after the color count damn. The hull that is fully my work has only 19 colors. I hope you understand. I've really enjoyed making this and i think it turned out fine. If you have any comments or critisism, do tell me. By the way, no dithering between the different shades of hull, Faster than Light doesnt have that either so i thought to stay true to the game. Thanks!

Don't get me wrong, what I said is not about your work here, which I think is one degree better looking than the actual game art.

About the game art making me focus on the gameplay; I've finished FTL quite a few times so far, not to mention spent 84 hours playing it and the graphics are hurting my eyes for some time now. Not that I want high end 3d graphics or something, but some good pixel art or 2D illustrative graphics are always my first choice in games.

yeah, you're right, but I thought it belonged in the same image as otherwise the resemblance with ftl might notbe clear, but i get you're critisism.

Thanks,  I thought so too, but when i looked at ftl itself, and how the ships look, they don't have any more detail on them as this ship had and i planned to stay true to the game.

Thanks, me too.

I must disagree, the artwork really makes you focus on the gameplay and i like it anyway, but opinions eh. 

About the weapons, i thought i had made it clear that they weren't mine but appearantly not. Sorry for that!

Nice work, I love faster than light's designs.

But in my opinion its artwork is terrible. I'd prefer a more accomplished pixel art style rather than this plain stuff.

PS: Also weapons aren't your work.

I think the 'below' version should be put as a link in the description, as you mention it uses work that is not your own.

Nice work, though. I would like to maybe see some more detail to break up those large flat sections.
