HorseMonster Spaceships

I made a spaceship that isn't made entierly out of sections I made myself.

This is sufficiently unusual that I felt like posting.

Shiny, although the front seems a bit mismatched against the rest of the ship. If on the two front-most sections were changed, it would be an improvement.

That aside, I very much like what you've done with the engines. It gives the impression that the four engines on the sides fold into the ship and close up.

Also, how did you add the orange decals? Did you add them directly to the sprites as a custom, or use a separate sprite?

Simple but nice design. Those stripes lend a homeworld look to it.

The front style does not correspond with the back. Try something more pointy for the front. Also, we BSF shipbuilders are a bit more used to looking at ships facing right--might as well flip the picture.

The roundness of the front looks fine, really, the problem is it's got two right angles up at the front that could use some covering up.

I love the ships simplicity, I´m not a fan of angled engines in general, but it works. Also nice choice of colours.
This is an perfect example,that you haven´t overload a ship with details to get an awesome ship, alsoI don´t care if you give a shot from right to left or left to right, I can think in n-dimensions. (neN)

The stripes are square/rectangular sections set to additive blending for the information of people who hadn't guessed.

Changed the front around a bit. Also has some weapons.

The rear engine sticks out too much. Kinda looks like a handle. Stripes are a nice touch.

That is a sweet little ship you have there. I love it.

Suggestion:

Either make the side spikes more pronounced, or shrink the rear one. Also, given that the end is "spikey", you should also consider on conforming to that style in the front. Spikey and Smoothie do not mix.

For some utterly inexplicable reason I suddenly felt incredibly driven to make this spaceship. I don't like it at all, but I couldn't stop myself from making it. Got to love them sudden violent urges.

Perhaps I will shipmaker it some more later and it will be more pleasing to look at.

Doesn't look all that... violent atm.
Looks like some suped up civilian race ship atm.
Which in itself is cool.
=P

Yeah it doesn't look that good Looks like the lovechild of vHorpax's ships and the pod racer. *shudder*

Add a couple fins to the back and a cockpit in the nose (maybe with a gatling gun?) and it looks like a good homage to the dropship in Alien.
