So, I thought I would try my hand at making a ship. The ship was inspired by the firestorm from XCOM: Enemy Unknown.

Currently I'm still making the actual image used for the ship, I haven't even got to the room layout yet or even decided what i'm going to call it, I just wanted to see what people think of how it looks so far.



Any constructive criticism is appreciated!

It looks good, almost for me. I mean, for a start sprite its really neat, and if u add some shading work i dont think that ship needs more work (maybe a little textured detail).

Looks really neat, but I agree that it should have more shading.

Update! Now with shading

I personally think this looks amazing. I, myself, could not create a ship graphic to save my life but you do it so well! It looks amazing, keep up with this amazing work! Would love to help with the actual interior ( Just can't set-up the shields :/ Confuses me why it doesn't show up in game)! Nice work, mate!

Thanks for the compliments! It took me a fair few tries to get a decent looking ship.

Oh and I think I'm done, apart from a few decals that is.

Loving the constant updates and how gradually they're getting better. I'd say try not to overdo it, though. We don't want it looking too light-y .

The only reason there's so many lights in the middle is because I needed to fill the blank spaces either side of the middle ridge, the light's aren't ideal but they do fill the gap nicely.

Anyway, I added the decals and I'm going to start on the room layout. The decals are XCOM decals because I was inspired by this.

Sounds alright, I guess. It should be interesting to see your internals. Say, what do you use to make the ships? Superliminal?

I've actually made this graphic before deciding which program/method to use to build the ship's rooms. So now updates will be a little bit slower.

The program I used to draw the graphic is Paint.NET, good tool if you can use it.
