The shape has some potential. Just hide the weapons by setting alpha to 0 in the EDIT menu for now.

Ok, just had to point this out. I prefer not using a stencil because it can look choppy on the sides. I also needed to scale the screenshot larger so it would cover my whole ship (I mean if it's not larger, it doesn't exactly 'shield' your ship and that's what the deflector shield is there for). As ...

First ship: I'm rather liking it actually. Second ship: The engine sprite is not fitting as well as it could. It also just doesn't fit the ships style. Those horizontal littly details at the front also kill the flow. Third ship: It has been depthed yet feels flat in a way. Those horsemonster(?) conn...

You are truly becoming the master of section usage. Depthing is great. I wasn't really able to find a focal for awhile though. Also, the flow is kinda messed up IMO.

I will try to explain this while staying understanding. Nowadays we don't build ships for their strengths or combat skills, sure they can be important. But we build ships for their looks. Now if I recal correctly there was a rule about posting a picture with a topic but that might just be me confus...

Newest ship: I would use fraxy sprites for exhaust. I like the overall shape and concept but the internal details have zero flow.

I like this one better. I love the wings. Engines look like they could fall off any minute though. lol

This is much better than the first. Cnc; Flow is awkward in the central area. The difference in number of spikes on the front half compared to the back half is too much IMO so it kinda feels like 2 different ships in one. I'm also not liking the color scheme. Also, I always get the feeling like your...

So I've decided to start making some custom sprites and for some reason, a green border keep appearing around them whenever I use them in shipmaker. I've rendered them and re-filled the backs but no change. Help? http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/9030/stmetallic01.png http://img710.imageshack.us/img7...

Very choppy due to completely straight lines created where sections meet. Blue is a bad choice to put with green (although I believe it has to do with the sections you're using). You've also put flat sections on top of surfaces which curve or drop one way or the other which totally kills it. And not...

And horsemonster just won. Those are pretty epic man. Not sure I like the tiny thrusters on the shoulders though.

Eh, took no more than 5 minutes. Gimp has some tricks ya know.

Put this over the hull on additive.

Some original doodading you've got there. Few nitpicks. The doodad on the orange engine fades to a blackish color and that kinda bothers me. The green moving line doodad is also not mirrored correctly. The orange glow of the exhausts completely envelopes the thrusters at the back which... makes the ...

Ok, no lighting effects this time.
Instead, it's animated so you can see the new deflector shields.

Hmm... There's one weird frame in there plus the coloring is weird in spots due to gif conversion. Plz excuse.

Well this certainly took me awhile.

Hope you like it.

Welcome to the forums!

I'm not sure I completely understand what you mean by 'open and close'. Could you explain that a bit more?
