Pixel artwork, for no good reason

So, people, anyone else do pixel artwork/mechanical lineart here? I know that at least a few people do.

Let's kick off the thread with some aircraft, since I'm on an aircraft bender

F-s98 "Rapier" of No.38(HG) Squadron (Home Guard), RAF New Saris.
Lineart work done by me, shading work by candiro, colour work by MalikCarr

The lineart's good, especially in the detailed cockpit... but it looks flat because the shading's so faint you can barely see it. But then it is the top-view of a fighter jet, so there not might be much to show in the 3rd dimension in the first place.

In the meantime, I haven't finished anything since the last one I posted, just a bunch of concept sketches. Next up is:

It's only the basic outline so far.

That Fighter looks like it's occupied.

Something I made.

It made it a while ago, so I know what parts of it could use work. I just don't want to waste time because I have graphics for my own game to make.

There really isn't much, no, considering that this is a high-wing aircraft anyways. The top of the F-15 is flat, as is the top of the F-22; there is some shading along the engines because those are raised (lol s-curve) to avoid radar returns, but that's pretty much it.

heh this plane is probably uber-boring underneath, too; large flat underbody surface with two intakes and doors for 8 air-to-air missiles

Thread seriousness -1

I'm probably going to redo it at a higher detail level next time.

EDIT: Fuck thumbnails

Pixelart are just so addicting, you just can't stop once you started it.

protip: Small Fonts size 7 is the best font for writing on pixel artwork

A few ships from my game. The biggest one is the harvester, and the second-to-last one is obviously alien.

Are you making a shmup with those?

No, it's an RTS. Hence the harvester.
