25000st is starting a FlameWar!!

[25000st]

So yeah. Ships that battle shooting beams, missiles, and... fire maybe? A war of flames. Flame war. Get it? Hahaha. Not very funny.
Just had to allude to that. I also thought it might attract viewers.

Oh yeah Arc, I now know why flaming is aloud here. It's BSF. lol

Anyway with the idiocy aside, I got one of those boredom attacks and I decided I would play around with BSF. Thanks to Anna, I got the idea of making a pink ship. I might make a fleet off of this and I might not. Anyway, here's the ship.

NEW ANIMATION


orange color scheme with lighting efx

It's pink, it's hot and you know it. XD Too much clutter and randomness IMO.

It looks like something you'd see at the Interstellar Carnival celebrations.

Although it certainly is random, I can't really say its cluttered. Also, BRILLIANT WHITE CORE OF GLOWEY BLINDINGNESS IS GLOWEY AND BLINDING.

[Squishy]

Somehow you achieved a jewel-like quality on the ship's look. It's quite dazzling.

LENSGLARE

The little spindly engines look out of place to the rest of the ship, though.

[25000st]

Thanks guys. I might try posting a different color scheme cuz pink looks... carnivalish.

...

Sorry, I didn't add lens glare. Try again.
Yeah, I'll see if the engines can't be changed.

ED: Posted: New color scheme. I also tried removing a few spindlies.

Don't sharpen and oversaturate your ships in photoshop, dude.

[25000st]

I didn't increase the saturation of my ships. I didn't use PS either.

I did sharpen though. I also added some lighting transition. And if you ask me, there's nothing wrong with doing so.


*ED* BattleReport
First test run. Two of them attacking the Leviathan.

Added scrolling deflector shields.

Your ships (which are quite decent) look way better ingame without the stupid postproduction, but if it makes you feel special, then be my guest.

Completely agree with Cycerin there. The filter (or some other effect) you're using to touch up the actual image makes it look grubby and more cluttered than it does in BSF. The core is somewhat too saturated with glow, but otherwise, I like the little grooves and mechanical tidbits poking out here and there.

[25000st]

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.

[Squishy]

Oh very nice spritework for the deflector shield, and on top of overall improvements.

Must have been a bitch getting that to fit the form.

[Invasion captain]

How do you make it to glide over the ship?

[25000st]

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

How do you make it to glide over the ship?

Put this over the hull on additive.

[vidboi]

GIMP is win! i guess you just made a stencil of the outside of the ship in black and then layered it over the animation. that's what i would have done...

[Invasion captain]

I am really sorry. I still don't get what to put over what....

[Lizzie]

I am really sorry. I still don't get what to put over what....

I don't either actually.
