Pixel Joint Forum: Lets Make Some Space Ships

Message

Please note that I didn't pick any of the colors and that this was made from looking at PeppermintPig's post here for the colors and because it finally inspired me to do something. So, I thank Pep, and please comment.
Oh, and this is the first ship I have ever done.

	Hm, little quick design. The shape turned out a bit like Skaterboy's on accident. It's halfway between old school and new school, because Im lazy. Shown moving sideways (no tilt animation, sorry), boosting (was the ship trail a good idea? even noticeable?), regular fire, and special fire. Probably need to add a little bit of delay in there...

	*Originally posted by Shark* wohaa this is amazing, wood be in my favourites now too. yes add some turrets and red panels. how would those tiny jets power this beast? in space, there is no gravity(duh) thus you need only very little energy to propel yourself (eg. a fart makes you float away) though with smaller jets you can obviously accellerate and decellerate slower then with big 'uns but considering the shape and bulkyness, this ship wouldnt be a fighter but a gunship. so it wouldnt have to be as maneuvrable, and (simple economics & maths here) that would save fuel & plating, as the jets dont need to be extra reinforced. those resources could in turn be used as additional armor, or extra fighter ships buh =P

	well thats the longest answer to a stupid question ive ever seen. it looks great but having such small jets on such an impacting image seem a little inadequate.

GreyKnight Whoa vert very nice. Usually organic dithering is bad for ships but this turned out very well.

	What I mean is using materials that have a low reflection and lumonosity. The roughness/smoothness of a material effect the amount of light that is absorbed and reflected. What I mean is that your ship has a more light absorbant material or coating then mine and it works well for it. Edited by Pixel_Outlaw

What I mean is that your ship has a more light absorbant material or coating then mine and it works well for it. that is because it gives the object (in this case the ship's hull) a more roughened up look, which is ideal for a battleworn gunship

	ok it may not be gradient however you used far too many colours. Fugitive pm'd me with the lineart for his ship and asked me to colour it for him. so here it is, took about 8 minutes.

	I made ships a bit this past spring/early summer. About the same time, I had a fun idea of a low color shmup and had made some animations for it. In my mind, it would be a lot like Gradius. I've always been obsessed with Gradius III. Anyway, the animations. Maybe I should start making ships again. That was a good time. Probably the most productive time of my pixelling days too.
