I don't know if this is against the rules or not, but. . .
I am working with the HM_Stone sprites.
My goal is to give them a more rough stone look instead of the smooth one that they have now without causing a loss to the quality.

I am open to critiques on the process. They are currently all done and ready.

Original After Working

I think the grain filter that I guess you put over it flattens out the details too much, and you should probably rework those detail bits a little to help them stand out again.

Might be a good idea to ask HM for permission to rework his sprites like this, too.

That's actually quite nifty. I like it, but you might want HM's permission first.
Edit* dammit Anna you ninja.

I sent a PM. I'll continue working until I get a response, but won't make a release unless I get permission.

Oh by the way, on that circle section I'd suggest darkening the region around the edges; it'll help with the flatness look.

Permission declined. Project canceled.
I am thinking of working with TSA's Ukrai sprite set instead, but how do I get permission from someone who hasn't been here in awhile. It would serve the same purpose, but will take a lot more work.

Zalausai edit: damn auto correct

Why not attempt some sections of your own, rather than working from pre-existing material?

I will try to design some sections inspired by these two sets then. They will have the filter, because I'm going for a stone look. Shiny sections have the smooth look and dst_swnc has the industrial look. They won't be as good, but it should fill the very small niche at least. I should have one by tomorrow. With my graphic arts experience, they can't be too bad.

I tried. It's supposed to hold two round sprites. Very limited use compared to the other planned sprites. Armor plating can be placed on its flanks.
Remember, I am going for a rough stone ancient look with these sprites.
Sadly, I am unsure if it is completley centered.
Open to critique.

Looks centered to me. Its not the sort of sprite I would use but its very well done!

That wouldn't necessarily be a sprite that has to be centered. I like it, but would only use it as a decor section or a spindly bit on a wing.

Still working on the sprite project.

Current sprites (doing generic shapes first) Test ship (it looks like crap, but at least the sprites work) Open to critique.

I'm not sure how useful these sprites will be; they don't fit with current sprite styles.
What we do need is more antennae, tubes like that SS_prosectionax sprite and the like. Shinyfiying Xor_sec could be useful.

True, tho this still has some purpose to behold of. Not that much Stone sections are out there (at least to my proper knowledge)

Like has already been said, we need sprites that are meshable (is that even a word?) with the current kae_shn and DST. I especially agree that we need more antennas/radar dish like sprites and more pipes and wire detailed sections. They are nice but I would find it difficult to implement them.

Also, Happy B-day Zal!
