Pixel Joint Forum: Shipsprite

Message

   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!).

	Ok I'll work some more. My lighting is pretty similar to theirs however.

	vs. Reminds me a bit of the "Aleste" series. You may all think I'm nuts for shading like this, welcome to the 1990's. Link of Aleste aka MUSHA. http://www.classicgaming.com/shmups/reviews/musha/1.htm Edited by Pixel_Outlaw - 14 March 2007 at 5:25pm

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

	*Originally posted by snader* i preferred the older gun barrels on the support units Yeah I thought they were better, it just seemed noobish to make any groups of 3 pixels. Edited by Pixel_Outlaw - 15 March 2007 at 8:51am

	Or AA the corners? This is in space right? Will the black borders show up anyway?
