Pixel Space Ships.

[NoNick]

These space ships were made by me for a game i was developing (not a rpg game).

I've made them a while ago, i was gonna continue making more ships but were out of ideas for them...

The backgrounds are black because it looks the best with a dark background.

Enjoy:

That's your main ship (your character). I call it Cobra:



This is a small ship, these ships come in swarms, the name i gave to it is appropriate, I call it Mosquito:



This is a basic enemy attacker ship, i call it Omnibat:



Well, thats it, if you have any idea for a new ship design, post it, if i'll use it in the game you'll be credited for concept ideas.

So, what do u think? (I'm a beginner pixel artist Btw.)

Those are adorable little ships. They remind me of arcade game graphics from when I was younger. The only thing I would say is to perhaps brighten the cobra a bit more to make it contrast more against the dark background, as the other two ships do.

What game engine were you planning to use for the game?

 

[NoNick]

Thanks, i'll try to make a new palette for the cobra.

And about the game engine, i was going to make it by Game maker or Flash. (need to get better on both of them...)

 

[NoNick]

I started working on a new model of a ship, its an enemy organic (living) ship, just like the Omnibat.
There will be two types of ships in the game (kinda like races), Mecha, which are normal mechanical ships and Organic, that are alive (kinda).

I think im gonna color it with the same palette as the Omnibat.



Any suggestions?

 

[Pokémaniac]

I think the organic ones should look more organic - don't make it green and instead of shooting fire, possibly have it flapping its wings.

 

[NoNick]

I think you're confusing.. It's purple not green o.O

But it sounds like a good idea to make it use it's wings, ill try to work on that.

 

[NoNick]

Finished coloring and shading the model i've made, same palette as the Omnibat.



I'll be working on it's movement now, i'll try to make it swing it's wings like Pokemaniac suggested.

 

[Pokémaniac]

I actually meant grey =P

 

[NoNick]

Oh, you mean the Mosquito ship, i said there will be two kinds of ships, i didn't say that enemies can't be Mechas, there are both Mecha and Organic enemies and the Mosquito is a Mecha enemy.

Well, enough talking about the game itself, any crits on the ships?

The overall shape of the third ship just doesn't fit in my opinion it just doesn't look like it'd maneuver very well at all also by organic do you mean that the ship itself is a breathing living creature. If so you should use more natural colors for it and not make it like a shiny metal plating.

 

[NoNick]

I use the purple palette as a natural color for the ship, it's some sort of alien ship, so it has to have the colors of an alien. i might try to change the color, but its not easy to come up with a palette that looks natural but not human.

Edit:

I think i found a really good palette for an organic ship, here it is:

Looks better?, because if it is, i'll recolor the new ship (the bigger one) too.

 

[Lexy]

That palette makes it just look darker, it looks better with the other palette but the only problem I see is that they don't seem like organic ships, you kind of avoided my question when I asked if it is an actual living breathing organism. Is it or is it just a ship piloted by aliens?

 

[NoNick]

It's supposed to be a living creature.

Maybe i'll turn it into a ship (metalic ship) with vines and flesh on it.

 

[NoNick]

Sorry, double posted.. (you guys should really make a delete post button...)

 

[Lexy]

Yeah like I said it looks too much like a metallic ship if it's a living being it needs to look like one.

 

[Xaixis]

These things are cute!

Yeah, I think the most recent ship... well I just don't think it really fits, the shape just seems clunky.

But the rest are simply adorable! =3
